FOOD FOR THOUGHT – UNKNOWN

A sea captain heard the Gospel preached and said, "Sir, it was of no use your preaching to me, for while you were preaching, I was thinking about where I could find a whale.  There is no room for anything else in my mind but whales."

NO REASON TO FEAR

If  God is with us we have no reason to fear evil.  He will make all the purposes of the children of men to give way before the interests of His own children.  The ungodly of this world are nothing more than the cogs in the gear of God's providence that turns this world for the good of His people.
MWH

(Psalms 23:4) "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me…"

DOING MORE – C.H. SPURGEON

I propound as a theory, not that a Christian man ought to say, "Am I called to preach the gospel?" but that he ought to say, "Am I excused from preaching the gospel?" The old plan was for young men to preach before the Church to see if they could preach. I think we must bring them all up to make them prove that they cannot preach. 

Now Mr. Oncken has been blessed in Germany, as you knew, to the raising of many Baptist churches, and he always works upon this theory: — Every member of the church must say, when he comes in, what he can do. If he says he cannot do anything, and he be old, and infirm, and bed-ridden, very well, he can serve God by patient suffering; but if he has any ability, and says, "I cannot do anything," then the reply is, "You cannot come into the church." We cannot have any drones; we must have all working bees in the hive. 

I think it would be a good resolution for the Tabernacle to expel every member that is not doing something or other for the Lord Jesus Christ. I am afraid some of you would have to go. Well, we won't move that resolution, but we will move another, viz., that every member who has been a drone up till now shall pray to be a bee: that everyone who has done nothing shall ask the Lord to help him to begin; that those who have done half as much as they could will do the other half; and that those who are doing all they can will always try to do a little more, for it is always that point of doing more than you can do that, in the long run, is the best kind of doing, for then you have to lean upon God's strength when you have gone to the limit of your own, and there is the point where the results are pretty sure to follow… let each man and women here that has been redeemed by blood resolve to-night, in Jehovah's strength, to do for God and for his truth something more than yet we have thought of, to the praise of the glory of his grace.

"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")
