The Only Rock of My Salvation

O Changeless God, Under the conviction of thy Spirit I learn that the more I do, the worse I am, the more I know, the less I know, the more holiness I have, the more sinful I am, the more I love, the more there is to love. O wretched man that I am! O Lord, I have a wild heart and cannot stand before thee; I am like a bird before a man. How little I love thy truth and ways! I neglect prayer, by thinking I have prayed enough and earnestly, by knowing thou hast saved my soul. Of all hypocrites, grant that I may not be an evangelical hypocrite, who sins more safely because grace abounds, who tells his lusts that Christ's blood cleanseth them, who reasons that God cannot cast him into hell, for he is saved, who loves evangelical preaching, churches, Christians, but lives unholily. My mind is a bucket without a bottom, with no spiritual understanding, no desire for the Lord's Day, every learning but never reaching the truth, always at the gospel-well but never holding water. Give me a broken hear that yet carries home the water of grace.- Paradoxes/Valley of Vision

Fifty

Hey fam. It's the middle of the week and there's so much going on here. Simply stated, Clayton King proclaimed the gospel tonight. The Word was preached and he made a huge point that there will not be any music played, and if God has saved yoru soul during the sermon to stand up and say Jesus is Lord. 50 students stood up tonight. There are several testimonies which testify to the grace of God in the transformation of souls and there were others who shown no understanding of salvation whatsoever, but God is sovereign in this and we can trust Him. It was definately a night testifying to the power of His name.
Three girls from my share group, Providence Baptist Church, were radically saved and transformed tonight. One of which I had specifically been praying for and had the opportunity to counsel. The leaders asked to speak with Mike and I afterwards and we prayed for a good fourty five minutes dealing with things with the kids and decisions that needed to be made and burdens. It's been a blessing working with and being able to love because people are in Christ.
I would covet your prayers family. There is a lot going on. Two ladies from a church I have worked with in the city and friends of a close friend have died, so it's hard to take in, and Jeffrey Collin's best friend died in a car accident tonight. There are several home situations and things that the interns are dealing with, but just pray that we would trust God and seek Him. He is doing wondrous and mighty things.
Love you all and miss you. Call me and I will seek to call you back.
Your sister in Christ,
Katelyn
