FOOD FOR THOUGHT – COPIED
In the life of faith, we have entered a race. In this race there will be
difficult times, perhaps heavy trials; and along the way there will be
tempting pastures of pleasures of which appeal to our flesh. We must go
on! We may proceed rapidly or slowly; we may even stumble and fall; but,
looking to Christ and depending upon the merits of His righteousness, we
continue. We have a responsibility to the Gospel and the doctrines of
Christ. Neither the frowns, the accusations, nor even the ridicule of men
need cause us to surrender in this responsibility. We have a
responsibility to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the
Gospel. We must not let the cares of this world cause us to neglect this
important responsibility. We have a responsibility to our families, to
keep them together, to set a Godly example in worship, integrity, and in
faithfulness and giving. We must not lay down this trust nor fail to see
it through. Let us all pray that by God's grace He will keep us and keep
us diligent in all these important and vital responsibilities.

A FOUNTAIN OPENED
Horatius Bonar
"In that
day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness." (Zechariah
13:1)
It is the conscious
absence of all good things that leads us to this fountain of all goodness.
It is as unclean and unrighteous that we come to God, not with goodness in
our hands as a recommendation, but with the utter want of goodness. Nor do
we come with promises of amendment and future goodness and service; but we
come to the fountain as unrighteous, unclean, and unable to remove that
unrighteousness or offer anything in exchange. The fountain is open to all
who thus come. It is closed against all who come on any other footing. He
who comes to the fountain as partly righteous is sent away empty. He who
comes as a guilty sinner to a righteous, yet merciful God, finds not only
ready access to the fountain of life, but plenteous grace! The righteous
God receives unrighteous men if the sinner presents himself in his own
true character as a sinner and does not mock God by pretending to be
something LESS or BETTER than this.

SOME
THOUGHTS ON SPREADING THE Gospel
"Sinners must
hear the Gospel of God's grace in Christ Jesus, not sugary morsels of
worldly wisdom, not sappy stories that tug at the emotions."

"The Gospel is
not to be preserved like the Crown Jewels, locked in our ecclesiastical
strong room. It is to be spread locally, and to the ends of the
earth."

a church does not evangelize it will fossilize." A. W. Pink

CALL
TO WORSHIP
Samuel Medley - 1738
The Saviour lives no more to
die!
He lives, the Lord enthroned on high!
He lives triumphant o'er the grave!
He lives eternally to save!
He lives to calm His people's fears!
He lives to wipe away their tears!
He lives to soothe their troubled heart!
He lives, all blessings to impart!
He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives eternally the same!
He lives, their mansions to prepare!
He lives to bring them safely there!
I would forever speak His name;
I would forever praise the Lamb;
I would to all His grace make known,
And worship at His Holy Throne!
(Tune:
Doxology)

(Psalm 73:25-26)
"Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon earth
that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: But God is the
strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."
