“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)    |
Joy to the world, the Lord is come. How awful our sin, the part, the sum. The King has come to change every life, to give us great hope, erase all our strife. Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns! O'er sins awful deeds, salvation He gains. Once born in a cave, He lay swaddled in hay. Once wrapped in a tomb, He lives forever, today. No more let sins and sorrows grow. He, the baby, our Savior, sin's Victor, you know. He came as our Brother. The church is His bride. The grave could not hold Him. No more will He hide. He rules the world with truth and grace. No moment of sin will ever efface by slander of men, nor vestige of pride our place in His heart or our Day by His side. The saints and the angels are listening Above to see what we do with His great gift of love. Most of Heaven a gasp on the day, that He died, but rising, again, brought the cheer, that they cried. When He rides back to Earth on His horse shining white, He will punish the lost, for the saved put all right. In this time now receive what he paid for your sin. Give Him place in your heart with your spirit to win. The sounding joy forever repeats. The found curse of sin salvation deletes. All flora and fauna are singing His praise. All humans He bought, He is bound yet to raise. Come, you men of the Earth. He brings joy to the world. Empty cross, empty grave see His banner unfurled. The day will soon pass to make you redeemed. If you would know hope, know He's all, that he seemed. by Jay O'Toole on December 5th, 2019 |
