We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
โ€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. . . .โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ€
โ€• C. H. Spurgeon


โ€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.โ€
โ€• Charles Haddon Spurgeon


โ€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.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œA Bible thatโ€™s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโ€™t.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon

Though beaten, cruel, and crucified,
the Lord of Glory lives.
His body did not the cross survive,
but the tomb no excuse could give.

The cost was paid on the skullish hill,
that Friday afternoon.
"It is finished." Purpose all fulfilled,
now He is coming soon.

That Sabbath day His Body laid,
His Spirit served the Lord.
The keys of Death and Hell now paid,
held firmly by The Word.

The first weekday was the third day hence.
No devil now could touch,
no more pain could make His body wince,
His Victory so much.

He woke up by His Own Great Strength
at Sunday morning's dawn.
His friends and foes would know at length
the pain of Death was gone.

The disciples soon found an empty tomb.
The lass, "Rabboni" found.
Each man confused, a mystery loomed,
until His sweetness abounds.

They walked with Him for forty days,
until He stepped toward Home.
Their new strength came by Jesus raised.
His Spirit brought them Hope.

Now, Secret Christmas' greatest Gift,
Salvation from Above.
We serve The One, Who our hearts lift
in purity and love.
