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

He served His loved ones with His All,
He washed their feet and served the meal.
He died to save, obeyed the call.
He was the only hope, so real.

'Twould be some days before the new
would change the world and save the Day,
but now He served these ones He knew
with physical strength, and the words He'd say.

The path to honor shows its best
through gentle hands, and a loving heart.
Humility will know it's blest
when peace extends, and others start.

On Maundy Thursday at the meal
this Jesus took the bread and wine.
"The broken bread, my body heals,
and poured out blood to make you fine.
"

"You must not bite my arm to eat
my flesh as now I true demand.
You must not make my finger bleed
to drink my blood by Father's Plan.
"

"To eat my flesh, and drink my blood
is vivid language for One Truth.
Consume the Truth I AM, that's good.
Receive me with your core as youth.
"

"'Except you come as children small,
you cannot enter my Kingdom's rest.'
'But he, who on my name doth call
will sav-ed be, and truly blest.'
"

"I'll die, tomorrow, then I'll rise.
The third day's dawn is when you'll see
your savior's new with Him the prize,
and one day you will be with me.
"

The men with Him were broken, sad.
This could not possibly be true.
Emotions swirled in feelings, bad,
unable to yet think it through.

He spoke of one, who would betray.
He told another, "You'll deny."
They wondered who, until He'd say
which chosen man, so very nigh.

This flustered flock of frozen men
were not more saintly than we are.
He called them to Himself with sin.
He'd save them to His Perfect Bar.

"The ones my Father gives to me
are always saved, transformed, and blest.
The one, who comes will always be
received by One, who passed their test.
"
