The spread of the gospel to the nations is entirely dependent on the sovereign will of God, as He directs missionaries to preach according to His plan, illuminates the minds of the hearers, and regenerates hearts.

Brothers in the Lord: You might be satisfied with a 99% accuracy in your midterms. You might be satisfied with your 99% accuracy in typing. You might be satisfied 99% with your wife's cooking.

In the presence of our Holy God, we readily recognize ourselves as guilty and without excuse. Which is why we must behold our King if we would ever find freedom from pride, self-aggrandizement, and self-righteousness. We must not avoid this piercing conviction of God's holiness, for th...
