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

"Your writing style is pretty flawed."
"You'll never make a cent."
My gift was given me by God
to work each day well-spent.


"You talk and talk and bore each one,
who dares to read a page."
Each conversation's really fun.
One day "they'll be the rage."


"Just look at Dave, and Tink, and Sam.
They've really gone quite far."
They're "down the earth," less pride and sham.
With them, I'm now a star.


'What makes you think your words mean aught?"
"What makes you think souls care?"
Reception's not what I've been taught
if faithfulness is there.


"You write about your Jesus Christ
when other faiths are here."
He's blest me so it's worth the price.
I write to make that clear.


"You've written poems for many days."
"What's here to show for that?"
The sun doth shine unnumbered rays.
All payments would fall flat.


I write to bless the Lord Above.
He's worthy all my art.
What copper farthing measures of
the least His Glory's start?


"How do you know you'll find success,
while breath doth fill each lung?"
I don't. My praise must still confess,
"His Honor have I sung."

landing on the floor
morning glow to wake the day
hope of joy to come
