We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
โThere 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 โOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ โ C. H. Spurgeon โHope 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 โIf 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 โA Bible thatโs falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโt.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ โ Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
"God is not a man, that He should lie, nor the son of man, that He should repenting turn away. Hath He not said by it to stand? "Hath He not said, and shall He not it to do? Or hath He not spoken, and shall He not make it good for you? (Numbers 23:19, KJV) Now Paul is writing in this place about the Gospel Truth. Christ in Mercy and His Grace died and rose in youth. "For I delivered unto you, that first of all, which I received, how Christ that died for our sins, according to the scriptures reprieved "And that He was buried and rose again, according to the scriptures' words." By the Gospel, you believe today your spirit man, now cinch and gird. (I Corinthians 15:3-4, KJV) "No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me draw his heart, and I will raise him up as kept at the last day, and then no more to part." "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me in blessed time; and him that cometh unto me I will not cast out, nor decline." (John 6:44 & John 6:37, KJV) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, the life. No man can come to the Father then, but by me, redeemed from sinful strife." (John 14:6, KJV) The Truth is Jesus, One and the Same. Divine in ev'ry part is He. To Savior be is why He came, redeeming some in Victory! "But those refusing all their lives, God hath no pleasure when they're gone. He would see all return and thrive, becoming each a blessed son."
