What is Gospel Portions?

Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.

Ryan Bush: 00:07

Oh, eternal God and most gracious Father, I, your unworthy servant, do cast down myself at the footstool of your grace, acknowledging that I have inherited the corruption of my father, and in thought, word, and deed have transgressed all Your holy commandments. In me naturally, there dwells nothing that is good, For my heart is full of secret pride, anger, impatience, lying, lust, vanity, profaneness, distrust, too much love for myself and the world, and too little love of You and Your kingdom. If You should enter into judgment with me and search out my natural corruption and observe all the cursed fruits and effects that I have derived from it, Satan might justly challenge me for his own. And I could not expect anything from you, but your wrath and condemnation, which I have long ago deserved. But good Father, for Jesus Christ, Your dear Son's sake, in whom only You are well pleased and for the merits of that bitter death and bloody passion which He has suffered for me, have mercy upon me. Pardon and forgive all my sins and free me from the shame and confusion which is due to me for them. Amen. Lewis Bayly.
