Thomas Goodwin – The Heart of Christ
The puritan, Thomas Goodwin, in expounding Hebrews 4:15 gives us the following encouragement. As you read it, take heart, Christian, for this is Christ's disposition towards you: "There is comfort concerning such infirmities, in that your very sins move him to pity more than to anger. This text is plain for it, for he suffers with... Continue Reading →
To The Praise Of His Glorious Grace

Flashback Friday: Coming Judgment
The first time Jesus came to us, He came to save sinners. The next time He comes will be for a different purpose. He will come to exercise His office as Judge against unrepentant sinners. A reminder of this truth will keep us sober. On October 11 & 18, 2015, Pastor Allen Cantrell delivered 2... Continue Reading →
A Poem on Jesus’ Passion
Bethlehem. A humble town. A nobody’s town. Perfect. The mountains would have bowed down. The seas would have roared in praise. The trees clapped their hands. But not for this Ancient of Days. All He needed were a few shepherds and angels. And in this was His glory, not the towering greatness He laid aside,... Continue Reading →
Songs We Sing: “Ballad For the Church”
Periodically, we like to post songs that we sing at Jackson Bible Church. We do this to demonstrate why we sing them, to give people a way to listen to them on their own for learning and personal worship, and to edify the larger Church of Jesus Christ if other believers are searching for good...

Songs We Sing: “Not In Me”
The songs we choose to sing in our church services are very important. We should make a deliberate effort to choose God-glorifying songs. Let me quote our doctrinal statement at this point: We seek to use songs that are doctrinally sound and God-centered in their emphases. We believe congregational music should teach and admonish, and not merely... Continue Reading →
Failure and Faith
"After so many years I have made so little progress. Yet failure has a positive result: Less confidence in self & more confidence in Christ."--Paul Washer on Twitter

No Dim Bulb Was Isaac Watts
No dim bulb was Isaac Watts, No shallow pen had he. But Bible truth in every jot, And solid help for me!
Watts’ hymns
HYMN 110. (c. m.) Death and immediate glory. 2 Corinthians v. 1, 5—8.

Thank you great, eternal Triune God- Father, Son, and Spirit! The Father chose a people and gave them to His Son, the Son came and... Continue Reading →
