“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)    |
| "We see, that you are nearly grown as childhood has been nearly sown. "With chops we salivate the thought, that you are new and could be taught." "Your parents hold belief as dear. That's one thing we know crystal clear. "Yet, when you part their home for us, we'll try to throw them 'neath the bus." "You're young with many ways to go. Your parents' lives are 'This we know,' "but shouldn't you test the waters new, before deciding what is true?" "The sweetest notes of every day are how to eat and work and play. "There's plenty time to the future seek when youth is gone and years are bleak. "Enjoy the day without this thought, your belly full in pleasures bought." "Who cares what your parents taught before. You're older now, with so much in store. "Old fogies need not cramp your style. Just stay with us and play awhile." "We see your mind is filled with school, you'd complete your college to be cool. "It's true some good can come of that, but that's not really where it's at. "Just eat, be merry, enjoy your life. 'Much learning makes you mad' in strife." "You have some cash, we heard you say. That makes us happy for today. "Tomorrow the sun may burn us off before our chapeau we've a chance to doff." "You'll cry, but we don't really care. There'll be fresher fish we need to share. "But 'Hey!' your folks are right outside. That's if you don't still need your pride." by Jay O'Toole on August 19th, 2019 |
