“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)    |
So many years ago we thought of what and what to do because the king back then had naught of grace, and we were through. He helped himself to our abodes, and barged right in he did. Such antisocial act erodes the kindness we might bid. It's just like Mom and Daddy Dearest with a fam'ly's child. When not of age, it's time thou rearest with restraints most mild, but when that child has grown adult the bliss of fam'ly stays, respecting age as all exult. The station's grown we praise. "We hold these truths so evident, that men are equal made. we have unalienable rights now bent t'ward Freedom's Rights obeyed. "They're Life, and Liberty, we seek our Happiness, you see. A Government of Men must speak, 'Protection,' we agree." We're okay with you when you lead, and keep an arm's length apart, but when as Despot, life's your greed, our separateness you start. "The history of this King George repeats of hurts and woes. The laundry list is deep as a gorge as now the world we show. "His lawlessness has been quite bad. We cannot make a one, unless it's signed by kingly 'Dad,' and right now, he's no fun. "He keeps our population small to keep himself quite big. We have no power we can call. His 'Yes Men' wear their wigs. "His taxing really keeps us down. His taxing taxes hearts. Just leave us well enough alone. Allegiance we'll impart. "We've asked him nicely, asked him long, 'Be kind, and we'll remain,' but when your thumb doth break our song, our Freedom we must gain. "Please, British friends and fam'ly hear. We have no wish to harm, but when you call us 'foes' it's clear, we call God in alarm. "Rely we do on Providence. We pledge to each our lives, our all 'til Peace we do evince, and life here fin'lly thrives." These States have lived in blessed Peace at times, but then at war. May godliness in Christ increase. His Grace, again, implore. Please know, that "Righteousness" it's plain, "exalts a nation" grand, "but sin" reduces ev'ry gain, "reproaches ev'ry people's plan." (Proverbs 14:34, KJV) by Jay O’Toole on July 4th, 2023  |
