We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
โ€œThere 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


โ€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ€
โ€• C. H. Spurgeon


โ€œHope 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


โ€œIf 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


โ€œA Bible thatโ€™s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโ€™t.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon

When days are gray without the sun,
when evil deeds remain unjust,
when villains boast, that they have won,
the righteous bow, and seek a trust.

When hope seems far away, and gone,
when better days dissolve in fog,
when weary souls resigned do yawn,
the thirsty tongues are quenched with grog.

Turn eyes above, despairing soul,
and see The Rock, uncarved by hand.
Though long may be, 'til right is whole,
He holds Eternity's blest Plan.

Be wise, and fall upon this Stone
as broken, live, restored and blest,
but stiff-necked souls will be His throne
as crushed by Stone's great Justice test.

The humble will be lifted up
to know great honor in His Reign,
but pride will bring the lost to sup
in muddy wells of Judgment's rain.

O, come to Him, and mercy find.
He's waiting, watching, arms stretched out.
Salvation is His Gift so kind,
restoring souls without a doubt.

Then days are bright with glowing sun,
then evil deeds are gone as dust,
the villains caught by God's own Son,
find righteous bowed in joyful trust.


Ecclesiastes 8:11, KJV
Matthew 21:44, KJV
II Peter 3:9, KJV
