“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
We walk along this pilgrim way, doing the best we can, unknowing all we do and say are known by just One Man. "Just do your best, and if your good is better than your bad, you'll taste of Heaven's blessed food, like your mother and your dad." These sorts of things philosophize the earthly wise of heart, but when we see our truest size, where Truth finds truest start, we know we need the Help He gives for our help is of naught. Salvation in Him only lives. From a child, the Word is taught. We try and try, and try again. Ourselves, we cannot save. The Hope, that Christ Alone did win, won victory o'er the grave. Each spirit - man on the pilgrim way is dead upon the ground. The hope we'd know can start today by the EMT unbound. Regeneration's joules make live the heart, that once was lost from the "silver pads" The Word doth give. He covers all the cost. No man can make alive his soul. The gift of faith we need. Yet, 'til the monergistic goal in sin we still do bleed. How do we simplify this Truth, that Jesus, Savior, Lord, Alone can make a lasting youth, that's founded on His Word? We read the Truth, that's written there. He changes "stone, cold hearts," and makes alive to feel our care, and trust as faith imparts. by Jay O’Toole on January 17th, 2025   |
