Deliverance from the Power and Penalty of Sin

Giving thanks unto the Father, . . . Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. (Colossians 1:12-13)


Awake! Awake! slumbering church, and clothe yourself with the garments of your Lord’s salvation and righteousness. He waits to be gracious to you. Return unto your first love before the candlestick is removed. Purge the “leaven” of wickedness and dishonesty from your midst. Spurn the “honey” of the world, and let us cleanse our garments from the stains of seeking pleasure, commercialism, and worldliness. Let us refrain from the entertainment, moneymaking craze that is now resting upon us. Let us deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Christ.
