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) |
The most important jobs should pay the highest checks by far, but in this world, each given day we laud the athlete's star. The most important jobs are those, that honor God-blest Truth, the preacher, who Salvation shows, the teacher equips youth. The athlete's gift, its short shelf life gives flabby us some hope, that we are winners 'mid the strife of things with which we cope. Yet, ever we will live in Joy, since some man showed us God. And early teacher's sweet employ, we all must them applaud. True! Who in one long century will care, that won or lost the bones and dust of former stars, though buff, made tickets cost? Don't get me wrong! I love to watch some sports and movies, too, but entertainment cannot touch what God has made so True! My one request with every breath is not to make those less, who use their gifts of God's bequeath, but those of Truth be blest! by Jay O’Toole on June 5th, 2025 ![]() |
