We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
โThere 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. . . .โ โ Charles Spurgeon โOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ โ C. H. Spurgeon โHope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.โ โ Charles Haddon Spurgeon โIf 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.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โA Bible thatโs falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโt.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ โ Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
"For I delivered unto you first of all, that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. "And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures." I've given this, a message true, the one, that once was given me. The Christ has died for me and you to pay our sins, from lostness free. According to The Scriptures writ, we know The Truth, it's written down. His death for sin. Yes, ev'ry whit was made before we'd wear the crown. He laid in the tomb, was buried low, and on the third day rose again. According to the Scriptures know, His Gift has covered all my sin. Perfection, ev'ry day he lived to substitute for my life, broke. My goodness still so lost, contrived. His Good, applied, saves common folk. For I delivered unto you the first of all things I received, that Christ died for our sins so true, that we now more would be deceived. According as The Scriptures state, "He died, was buried, rose again," upon the third day, blessed, great, according to The Scriptures' when. To memorize these wondrous verses, I must remember all their Truth, to be we saved from all our curses, Christ met the cross, while in His Youth. For I delivered unto you, that first of all which I received how Christ has died for every sin, according as The Scriptures read. And He was buried, so It says, and that He rose again the third. according as the Scriptures praise. It's written plainly in His Word. Commit The Word to faithful hearts, that when we're faced with trials sore return we will to where we start by clinging to our Christ adored. by Jay OโToole on February 6th, 2024 |
