“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)    |
| 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmastide when Santa brings what young ones spied, and Hope's eternal, none denied, but frenzied shopping ends. 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmas bliss when childlike joy makes parents kiss, and days of peace begin with this, the heart of someone mends. 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmas comes when parents add the checkbook sums. The calendar, again, becomes its beat of "mostly same." 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmas Joy for man and woman, girl and boy, whose hopes are tied, not to a toy, but to the One, Who came. 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmas lights make dancing eyes and wondrous sights find rest within this night of nights for Mary's Gift was wrapped. 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmas hay reminds each heart, He came to stay to save us from this death-filled Day to free the ones so trapped. 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmas' Son this Life forever by Him won Salvation in blest hearts, now won is seen so hopeful, new. 'Tis ten more days 'til Christmastide. A Baby's Birth and Savior's Side defends us from our human pride. He came to save us, too. by Jay O’Toole on December 15th, 2022 |
