A TRUMPET
OF ALARM
When God is exceedingly displeased with a people, it is not necessary, in order to their punishment, that He should bury them alive, by an earthquake, or destroy them by lightening. If He only leaves them to themselves, withdraw His blessings from their counsels, and His restraint from their passions, their ruin follows on course, according to the necessary order and connection of causes and effects...
IF God gives up a people to the way of their own hearts, they will,
they must, perish! WHEN a general corruption of morals takes place, WHEN
private interest extinguishes all sense of public virtue, WHEN
a profligate and venal spirit has infected every rank and order of the
state, WHEN presumptuous
security and dissipation increase as danger approaches; WHEN,
after repeated disappointments, contempt for God, and vain confidence in
imagined resources of their own, grow bolder and stronger, THEN there is reason to fear that the sentence has already gone
forth, and that the execution of it is at hand.
John Newton, 1781

MY
FINAL TESTIMONY – C.H. SPURGEON
I have this much to say,
and if I should never preach again, and if this might be the last
discourse I should ever deliver in this world, I would wish to make this
final testimony. There is
that joy in religion that I never dreamed of.
He is a good Master whom I have served; that is a blessed Faith
which He has bestowed upon me, and yields such blessed hope, that,
"I
would not change my bless’d estate
For all the world calls good and great."
And if I die like a dog,
and there were no hereafter, I would still prefer to be a Christian, and
the humblest Christian minister to being a king or an emperor, for I am
persuaded there are more delights in Christ, yea, more joy in one glimpse
of His face than is to be found in all the praises of this harlot-world,
and in all the delights which it can yield to us in its sunniest and
brightest days. And I am
persuaded that what He has been till now, He will be to the end; and where
He hath begun a good work, He will carry it on.
Yes, sinners, Christ’s Cross is a hope that we can die by –
which can take us down to the grave without a fear – which can make us
sport in the midst of the swelling waters of Jordan – can make us
transported with delight even when we are bowed down with physical pain or
nervous distress. There is
that in Christ, I say, which can make us triumph over the gloomiest
terrors of grim death, and make us rejoice in the darkest of tempests
which can blacken the grave. Trust
ye, trust ye in the Lord; for our testimony, and that of all His people,
is, that He is worthy to be trusted.

CALL
TO WORSHIP
Isaac Watts – 1719
From Psalm 95
Come, sound His praise abroad
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah Is the sovereign God,
The universal King.
He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.
Come, worship at His throne;
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are His work and not our own;
He formed us by His word.
Today attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod;
Come, as the people of His choice,
And praise
your gracious God.
(Tune:
"I Love Thy Kingdom Lord")

(Psalm 27:13-14)
"I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of
the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen thy heart; wait, I say, on the Lord."
