"How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done! Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next." Psalm 19:1-2 TEV

"There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard."  Verse 2 KJV

"Their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world." Verse 3 RSV


 

Glory To His Name

Down at the cross where my Savior died

Down where for cleansing from sin I cried

There to my heart was the blood applied

Glory to His name

I am so wonderfully saved from sin

Jesus so sweetly abides within

There at the cross where He took me in

Glory to His name

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet

Cast thy poor soul at the Saviour's feet

Plunge in today and be made complete

Glory to His name

-- E.A. Hoffman

 

 

            

Restoration International

"Based in Montana USA since 1989, our mission remains the same, to reconcile individuals, marriages, and familes to Jesus Christ."

"Jim and Sally Hohnberger were young, educated, owners of a successful business, a beautiful home, expensive vehicles, and a great reputation in the church. But underneath the veneer of success, Jim’s life was busied, pushed, and stressed. His marriage was troubled, his Christian experience was superficial, and he didn’t really know his children."

    "Convinced that the pursuit of the 'American Dream' was robbing them of an authentic walk with God, the Hohnbergers sold everything and set off for the Montana wilderness in search of the 'Enoch experience'. What this family found forever changed their lives. And yours could be next!"

Sorrow For Sin

 

What exactly is sin?

1 John 3:4

 


 

The Bible is clear that we all have sinned (Romans 3:23), so what do we need to do?

2 Chronicles 7:14     Acts 3:19     Psalm 32:5  

To truly repent means to be sorry sin and then to turn away from it.  Until we do this by God's grace, there will be no real change in our lives.

 


 

Where does this sorrow for sin come from?

Acts 5:30-31    Philippians 2:13     John 16:7-8

   Every desire for truth and purity, every realization of our own sinfulness, is evidence that the Holy Spirit is moving upon our hearts.
 
 
 

 

What can we learn from David's attitude after he sinned with Bathsheba?

Psalm 51:1-12

This prayer of King David demonstrates what true repentance for sin is really all about.  There was no attempt to cover his sinful act and no desire to escape possible punishment.   David prayed for forgiveness and a clean heart as well.

 


 
 

How is forgiveness really possible?

1 John 4:9-10   Matthew 1:21   Hebrews 9:22   Revelation 1:5

Jesus Christ is the one and only answer!

 


 

What are some of the characteristics that God is known for?

Nehemiah 9:16-17     Micah 7:18-19

We serve a very merciful and loving Lord!

 


 

What does God promise to do with our sins?

1 John 1:9   Psalm 103:12   Isaiah 1:18   Isaiah 43:25

Praise God for His wonderful and comforting promises!

 


 
 
 
How did some of the other Bible characters react when they were convicted by God of their sins?
 
1 Kings 21:27-29   Isaiah 6:1-7   Romans 7:24-25
 
We have many examples in the Scriptures of true repentance and genuine sorrow for sin.
 
 

 
 
 
When we as sinners see the true character of Christ, how will we feel?
 
Isaiah 64:6   Luke 18:13
The closer we come to Jesus, the more we will see our imperfections and weaknesses.
 
 
 

 
 
 
When should we respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and seek forgiveness?
 
2 Corinthians 6:2   Hebrews 3:7-8   Hebrews 2:3
 
The last thing a person wants to do is to resist the work of the Holy Spirit of God.  If you are feeling convicted about something, don't let anything get in the way of seeking forgiveness from the Lord.  If we continue to ignore the conviction of the Spirit, we will eventually harden our hearts so that we no longer feel any sorrow for sin (This is what the Bible refers to as "Quenching the Spirit" in 1 Thessalonians 5:19).  Friends, don't let this happen in your walk with God.  Today is the day for repentance, not tomorrow!  This is why Paul said,  "Grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."  Ephesians 4:30
