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 https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
"Dear Lord, please grant us Your Great Peace, all founded on the Merits of Christ. Such awful news brings no release. Our rest comes in His once-paid Price. "The days now shorter, dark comes quick. The time to work is growing slim. The wind looms close to douse this wick, before I speak to all of Him. "Yet, I've no power to save a soul. Your Word Alone transforms the heart to cause new birth, to make one whole, to smile upon the brand new start. "The evil days are on us now when cowards would cause all great fear, but grant us boldness as we bow before Your Feet to hold You dear. "Oh Prince of Peace, our Hope Alone, come soon to shine Truth's Only Light. Each little flame, please trim and hone. Ensconce us in Your House 'fore night. "Oh, Lord, the waves of adversity do threaten now to sink the barque. Disciples fear, that life would flee e'er safe in harbor. There to park. "You told the men of Your Own Sojourn, 'Why fear you now for God is here?' But we, like they in spirit groan, so weak our faith with the Savior near. "We open mouths like little birds. Please, fill them with Your nourishment, 'til satisfied by all Your Words, where Peace we find in the curtain rent. "For the days remaining cause us rest upon the Arms, that hold the Earth. When all is done by Grace we're blest as Mercy triumphs in the New Birth. "Amen, Dear Lord. Your mighty breath created all for Now and Aye. Amen to He, Who conquered death, Whose Merit is the Key to the lasting Day." by Jay O’Toole on September 28th, 2025 ![]() |
