Mark of a Christian

A Christian is not only one who believes differently from others. A Christian is one who IS different from others. Deep changes take place in the heart by the work of the Spirit of God. The Spirit is working in us – first to will the good – and then to do the good. First right decisions. Then right desires. The Christian is marked by an uprightness of moral qualities. Then comes a transparency of inner motives, and then a displayed of beauty of character.

Christian Testimony

Qualities of character that reflect a true Christian testimony – not only in word alone but in disposition and in deed; in mind and in motive; in action and in attitude; in conscious thought and unconscious thinking; in gentleness of spirit and long-suffering of heart. Lord change me thus, that the beauty of the Lord may be seen in me; that the loveliness of the Beloved is shown forth in me; that I may be a reflection of His comeliness; that I may be a channel of blessing through whom He flows to others.

Christian Submission

This is only possible as I submit to the working of the Spirit of God, deep in the recesses of my soul.. searching the depths of my heart – trying the inner secrets of my very being. It is His life which must be in evidence; His Spirit, imparting and renewing His own life within – the beauty of the Lord shining forth.

Christian Character

Personal traits of character must be replaced; sanctified by His features; consecrated by the one Who is altogether lovely. Until His comeliness is seen in me.. as His life is growing up within. Oh Lord, change me into the image of Jesus. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me – and lead me in the way everlasting.

Search ME O Lord

Search me, O God,
And know my heart today;
Try me, O Lord, and
Know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be
Some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin
And set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord,
For cleansing me from sin;
Fulfil Thy Word,
And make me pure within.
Fill me with fire
Where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire
To magnify Thy Name.

Lord, take my life,
And make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart
With Thy great love divine.
Take all my will,
My passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord
In me abide.

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.
