Though I be a lesser light

Than those now gone before,

My aim with sincere faith remains

The same as those of yore.

For as I have been chosen

To reflect the Greatest Light,

May God be glorified in me

Through Christ who gave me sight.

Can you say that you were saved

When for sin is what you craved

With no thought for God to honor,

His Holy Name, you brought dishonor.

Satan’s strong to make pervert

The scriptures to those not alert

And his poison thus remains

Flowing freely in the veins,

Diluting all who in their pride

Walk the way that’s broad and wide.

 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,  even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:15-18

 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.  When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.  He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.   All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you."  John 16:12-15

Pastor Robert Briggs preached, “The Central Aspect of The Spirit’s Ministry in the Life of the Believer as Spoken by Christ.”

Oh One who now declares the truth

Of all we have by grace

Received to know and love the Light

Of Glory’s Precious Face.

Oh come and tell us more afresh

Of what we now can bear

That Jesus may be magnified

As life in Him we share.
