07/30/2023 – “The Only God” / Jude 1:25 / “Yet why is it that our faith is so feeble? Why is it that our worship is so flabby? Answer: because of the absence of a consideration of and a belief in and a submission to the God to whom Jude directs us in this final verse. Spurgeon, when he was only twenty-one, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, addresses his congregation in these amazing words: “Would you lose your [sorrow]? Would you drown your cares? Then go, plunge yourself in the Godhead’s deepest sea; be lost in his immensity. [I urge upon you],” he says, “a devout musing upon the subject of [God].”[3] “A devout musing upon the subject of [God].”

Just one short excerpt from last week’s sermon that is so connective to this week’s sermon:
“Well, if you were present last time, you know that we finished up with this amazing picture, this astounding notion of a singing God. We were instructed in that by paying attention to the Victorian preacher Spurgeon, who, in saying that, was quoting Zephaniah 3:17:
The Lord your God … in your midst,
[is] a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
It’s an amazing picture, a notion of God himself as a singing God.“
My comment:
Seriously, could we take just a moment to reflect on that, following it up in short prayer of PRAISE to our unfathomable loving and amazing God! Do you want to talk about missed opportunities in life, possibly even eternal? How about an entire self professed Christian life without one moment of such a reflection and prayer?
Soli Deo Gloria!
