O Lord enable me to press on

How absolutely helpless I am in myself.

May [my circumstances] keep me more simply dependent on the grace and Spirit of God.

Lord, strengthen me with might.

Let Christ dwell, not merely occasionally visit, but dwell in my heart by faith.

Let me cultivate more an habitual love of God.

I have had lately too little time for private devotions. I must take at least an hour for them in the morning.

Dear tempted brethren! Go boldly to the throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find grace to help in your time of need.

"Christ is either Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all." - J Hudson Taylor arrived in China 1 March 1854. He lived in this house. A privilege to take Wilberforce and Edwards scholar Prof Michael McMullen (Michael McMullen) of Midwestern Seminary through some of London's church history.

William Wilberforce was wonderful fun, famously disorganised, and always rejoicing in the gospel. Michael McMullen (Midwestern Seminary) has, for the first time, released Wilberforce's Spiritual Journals (Christian Focus). Outstanding time on the podcast with him: christianheritagelondon.org/podcast

O Lord; quicken, soften, warm, invigorate me, and enable me to rise from my torpor, and to imitate the example of holy Paul, doing this one thing, forgetting the things behind, and pressing forward towards the mark of our high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

"The Supreme Being can at any moment bring light out of darkness" - William Wilberforce [he used to talk with, and hear the preaching of John Newton here]. Superb time giving a Christian Heritage London City Walk to guests - some visiting and some living in London.

I find unspeakable pleasure in the declarations so often reiterated in the Word of God of the unvarying truth of the Supreme Being.

Having died 'to save his people from their sins', 'he ever *liveth* to make intercession for them'. Cheered by this animating view, the Christian's fainting spirits revive.

Very happy to announce that Amazon have already listed my forthcoming book, together with a number of very kind endorsements by Drs David Bebbington and Michael Haykin, Marylynn Rouse and Ben Virgo.
