 ****************************

My grandfather said to me, many years ago, concerning the preparation of a sermon, and I have always remembered his words, "I study my sermon as much as if the work of preaching depended entirely upon myself; add I go into the pulpit relying upon the Spirit of God, knowing that it does not depend upon myself, but upon him." 

****************************** 

What shall I say of persons who, on the Sabbath-day, practice once-a-day Christianity, and who never go out to a week-night service? They have not time, they say; yet I hear of their being at various secular entertainments. They stint themselves in their spiritual food, and then they say,-

"Tis a point I long to know,

Oft it causes anxious thought,

Do I love the Lord or no,

Am I his, or am I not?"

That is a point I long to know, too, for the case is very doubtful.
C.H. Spurgeon  

****************************** 

We seem to have done with the Word as it has passed through our ears; but the Word, be it remembered, will never have done with us, till it has judged us at the last day.
Judge Hale 

****************************** 

One of the modern thinkers had been upholding the doctrine of universal salvation at a certain house with much zeal. A child who had listened to his pestilent talk was heard to say to his companion, "We can now steal, and lie, and do wicked things, for there is no hell when we die." If such preachers gain much power in this country we shall not need to raise the question of a hell hereafter, for we shall have one here.
C.H. Spurgeon 

****************************** 

An old sailor was asked for what purpose shoals and rocks were created, and the reply was, "That sailors may avoid them." A Christian philosopher, using that axiom, upon being asked for what purpose trials and temptations are sent, answered, "That we may overcome and use them." The true dignity of life is not found in escaping difficulties, but in mastering them for Christ's sake and in Christ's strength.

(James 1:12)  "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."
Dean Stanley  

****************************** 

Those who have seen their Lord, will always pray, "I beseech thee, show me thy glory." Those that have once tasted that the Lord is gracious, will always cry, "Evermore give us this bread to eat."
William Jay

A little grace will bring us to heaven hereafter, but great grace will bring heaven to us now.
An Old Divine

CALL TO WORSHIP
James G Deck – 1841

Lamb of God, Thou now art seated
High upon Thy Father's throne,
All Thy gracious work completed,
All Thy mighty vict'ry won.

Ev'ry knee in heav'n is bending
To the Lamb for sinners slain;
Ev'ry voice and harp is swelling,
"Worthy is the Lamb to reign."

Thou for us art interceding,
Everlasting is Thy love,
And a blessed rest preparing
In our Father's house above.

Soon Thy saints shall rise to meet Thee,
With Thee in Thy kingdom reign;
Thine the praise and Thine the glory,
Lamb of God for sinners slain.

(Tune: "Jesus Calls Us") 

******************************
(Psalm 46:1)  "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."
