We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
β€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. . . .”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.”
― C. H. Spurgeon


β€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.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon


β€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.”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œA Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.”
― Charles Spurgeon


β€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.”
― Charles Spurgeon

A good ol' wad o' social dancin'
of lowest naive or high-born prancin'.
Good honesty ye pay when glancin',
but when they're hardened,
thee waffles thy good name by chancin',
excused and pardoned.

Faith wad the name o' goodness bein'
within thy parts that no one's seein',
that stands thee strong whilst others fleein'.
Good character is
with neighbors, and thy God agreein'
'til end endurance.

The Pow'r o' God all true men make us,
before that darksome angel take us,
and o'er the bier the fresh dirt rake us,
for we are goners.
Then soon may His great Rapture quake us
to lasting honors.

The men we are inside's important.
The good He gives is always ardent.
The hymns we sing are aye accordant
with truest hopin'.
Escape in Christ that Place so mordant,
no saneness copin'.

O flee the flea in bonnet handsome,
that ithers see not chinkness prancin'
for reputation hath no ransom,
nor returnin'.
Oh, be we by The Savior's Ransom,
never burnin'.
