Food
For Thought – Stephen Charnock
When God and His glory are
made our end, we shall find a silent likeness pass in upon us; the beauty
of God will, by degrees, enter upon our soul.

Wait On
God – C.H. Spurgeon
To wait on God means I
cannot see the way out of this difficulty, but I SHALL see it. I do not yet perceive God's plan for my deliverance, but I
shall be delivered. I do not
know how bread shall be given me, but I shall have it, even if God has to
send ravens with it or rend Heaven itself in twain.
I shall have His promise fulfilled, and I shall wait His time.

Love For
The Gospel – R.P. Martin
The sign of our professed
love for the gospel is the measure of sacrifice we are prepared to make in
order to help it's progress.

Christ
As My Saviour – Copied
At the close
of a religious service, a gentleman approached the preacher with a
criticism:
"I do not care for all this talk about Christ on the cross, its better to be up-to-date. Preach Jesus, the Teacher and Example."
"Would you be willing to follow Him if I preached Christ as the great example?" asked the preacher.
"I would," answered the man. "I would follow in His steps."
"Then," said the preacher, "let us take the first step, 'Who did no sin,' as we read in 1 Peter 2:22. Can you take this step?"
The critic seemed confused. "No," he said, "I do sin, I must admit."
"Well,
then," replied the preacher, "Your
first need of Christ is not as an example but as a Saviour!"

When Is A
Person Saved? – Pastor Don Fortner
I am often asked,
"When is a person saved?" According to the Word of God, no man
will ever be saved until he is convinced in his own heart that he is a
sinner, deserving eternal wrath and condemnation from God. The only person
who will ever call upon Christ in faith and seek mercy from him is that
man or woman who is so fully aware of his corruption of heart, sinfulness,
and guilt, that he is able to take sides with God against himself. You
must repent of your sins, the wickedness of your thoughts and deeds, and
abhor your righteousness. Yes, even your righteousness; the best of your
thoughts and actions is as filthy rags before a holy God. You must be
broken and humbled before God, you must loathe and abhor yourself, or you
will never come to God in true repentance and faith, crying, "God
be merciful to me; I am the sinner!"

"Happy
The Man" [E]
Isaac Watts – 1719
(From Psalm 32)
Happy the man to whom his God
No more imputes his sin,
But, washed in the Redeemer’s blood,
Hath
made his garments clean!
Happy beyond expression he
Whose debts are thus discharged;
And from the guilty bondage free,
He
feels his soul enlarged.
His spirit hates deceit and lies,
His words are all sincere;
He guards his heart, he guards his eyes,
To
keep his conscience clear.
While I my inward guilt suppressed,
No quiet I could find;
Thy wrath lay burning in my breast,
And
racked my tortured mind.
Then I confessed my troubled thoughts,
My secret sins revealed;
Thy pardoning grace forgave my faults,
Thy
grace my pardon sealed.
(Tune
– "O For A Thousand Tongues")
