he question is what have I learned from Jay Adams concerning depression? And that is, I guess the greatest thing would be this: that to be able to discern when I am believing a lie...
Paul Washer gives testimony of how God faithfully provided for his needs on the mission field. God can be trusted for everything. We don't need to trust in the arm of the flesh.
Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Paul Washer read's an expect from Puritan John Flavel, called "The Father's Bargain".
"Here you may suppose the Father to say when driving His bargain with Christ for you:
The Father speaks. My Son, here is a company of poor, miserable souls that have utterly undone themselves and now lay open to my justice. Justice demands satisfaction for them, or will satisfy itself in the eternal ruin of them.
The Son responds. O my Father. Such is my love to and pity for them, that rather then they shall perish eternally I will be responsible for them as their guarantee. Bring in all thy bills, that I may see what they owe thee. Bring them all in, that there be no after-reckonings with them. At my hands shall thou require it. I would rather choose to suffer the wrath that is theirs then they should suffer it. Upon me, my Father, upon me be all their debt.
The Father responds. But my Son, if thou undertake for them, thou must reckon to pay the last mite. Expect no abatement. Son, if I spare them... I will not spare you.
The Son responds. Content Father. Let it be so. Charge it all upon me. I am able to discharge it. And though it prove a kind of undoing to me, though it impoverish all my riches, empty all my treasures... I am content to take it."
We're going to begin right now with a message - a specific message to our children, to the young people in this congregation. Young people, when this sermon is prayed about...
We're going to begin our children's sermon which several adults have told me that it's been very helpful to them. And what we're talking about, children, in the little handout...

How does sin effect prayer? How can you make sure you confess every sin that you ever commit? How do I discern if God is leading me to do something or if it is just my own thoughts or evil?
How often we do we slip away and be with the Lord? Is He not the lover of our souls? Oh may God put a desire in us to pray and seek the Lord, to know Him more above all else in this quickly passing earth.
Oh this life is a vapor, I am forty-seven, and yesterday I was twenty-one, were did it all go, it is a vapor! While you have strength, preach! I praise God that in his providence as a young man I spent myself in the Andes Mountains, in the jungles of Peru doing what I no longer have the strength to do.
Oh the love of God for his bride is just unbelievable. It is incredible. Paul talks about the Son of Solomon and how it is a picture of Christ and His Bride.
Listen to me, how often do you cry out to God for greater and greater manifestations of the Spirit's power in your life? Two things about the Holy Spirit one is that we must be asking for greater manifestation of the Spirits power in our life and we must be careful. Walk on eggshells that we not grieve the Holy Spirit. What a precious treasure, that we not grieve Him. Well these are just some principles that I thought might help you because they both hurt and helped me so let's pray.
Gospel simply means "good news" and what is this gloriously good news? It is that Jesus Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice to put away the sinners sin debt and satisfied God's justice and wrath.
Do you understan...

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. - John15:1-7
