read words of encouragement from christians throughout church history
In this week’s episode, Dr. John Snyder welcomes pastor and author Jeremy Walker to discuss his new devotional, A Word in Season: 50 Days of Hope for Hard Times.
Our only hope is to look away from ourselves to Christ, who has done all. The gospel is not a work for us to perform but a message for us to receive.
This year marks the 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed. In anticipation of that historic milestone, we are returning to one of the most influential works in early church history: Athanasius’s On the Incarnation.
These six statements are fundamental to the biblical portrait of God. Accepting them as true does not change much in a person’s life. Living on them is a wonder-filled and life-changing undertaking.
Read books that stretch both your heart and your understanding—balancing the objective truths of God’s Word with the personal experiences of His people.
God’s will and God’s ways are a great mystery, but I know that whatever he wills or permits is of necessity for my good.
n this final episode on John Newton’s Letters to Mrs. —, Dr. John Snyder explores Newton’s tender counsel to a believer walking through prolonged difficulty.
Let us not give the impression that serving the God of heaven is a heavy, worthless, and joyless task.
In this letter, written in 1769, Newton encourages a Christian woman facing health difficulties and spiritual isolation.
Though you be never so devout, zealous, earnest, and constant in prayer, yet it is in Christ only that you must be heard and accepted.
God’s love is both merciful and wise, allowing what is necessary to purify, teach, and strengthen His children.
Having a quiet time with the Lord every day is absolutely essential if you expect to grow spiritually. But you have to plan it. It won’t “just happen.”
As we draw nearer to God, two things are brought more into focus: his holiness and our sinfulness.
Through Christ, it is not only possible to know Him in this way, it is also the birthright of every believer.
Holy living is a matter of love. How simple this is and yet how profound! Holiness is not the highest form of legalism. Holiness is the highest expression of love.
This is our final week of previewing studies Media Gratiae has produced through the years.
Where do we turn when everything around us seems to be shaking? Where do we look when we ourselves are terrified? What, if anything, will be an anchor for us when everything else seems to be storm-tossed?
We are continuing our special series highlighting studies Media Gratiae has produced through the years.
Let us ensure that our hearts are directed toward God and his glory, so that all our plans are carried out with an “if the Lord wills” written over them, desiring that if our plans will not accomplish his glory, they will come to nothing.
This week’s special is Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty, which is a follow-up to our first study.
Where else will you go? To whom else will you turn? What power can rival his? What wisdom can rival his? What love can rival his? What mercy can rival his?
We are running a series of special episodes highlighting some of the studies produced by Media Gratiae over the years.
Whether you are Peter the apostle, a Paul or a John, or a humble foot soldier who feels like an infant in the arms of the Lamb, your faith is precious.
In this week’s letter from the past, Dr. John Snyder reads a helpful correspondence from John Newton on five principles to keep in mind when we have the opportunity to exercise social prayer.
God’s revelation of himself is neither accidental nor irrelevant. The Lord has made himself known so that we can approach him according to that revelation.
The mature believer learns and grows not only by studying Scripture and applying it to his life but also by looking at how God providentially moves, convicts, and grows other believers.
Every Christian has both the responsibility and privilege of partaking and sharing with the spiritual giftedness that God has given the church.
This is the time where feelings become more unreliable, and the believer is led to a deeper reliance on the objective realities of the gospel.
