Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet."

I share what I just journaled:
I randomly googled the new reformation and got to the site New Reformation Ministries.org. Here I found:
Our Passion
What we desire most for every Christian is that they know the greatness God. This generation suffers from low views of God as His glory has been obscured in this hour. We want to correct this and cause believers to grow in a transcendent view of God. The Lord is so much more holy and sovereign and righteous than we can even imagine. We desperately want believers to know that it is by His supreme mercy that He has saved us by Himself and for Himself. "Only then can we grow stronger in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ." Moreover, we must know that God is the Architect of an eternal plan for us, and that He is ushering in His sovereign purposes on a grand scale, there by building up our faith and radically transforming our lives.
I placed in quotes the above sentence and had to wonder—so that’s why the HS has me rdg on God’s Sov, etc….bec my prayer has been that I would grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Soli Deo Gloria!
