FOOD
FOR THOUGHT – c.h. spurgeon
It is to me always
sufficient if I find a truth taught in Scripture: I ask no more. If I do
not understand it, I am not particularly anxious to understand it: if it
be in the Scriptures, I believe it. I like those grand, rocky truths of
the Bible which I cannot break with the hammer of my understanding, for on
these I lay the foundations of my soul's confidence.
******************************
Christ did not die in
vain. I have heard of a theology which, in its attempt to extol the
efficacy of Christ's death, virtually deprives it of any certain
efficiency; the result of the atonement is made to depend entirely upon
the will of man, and so is left to hap-hazard. Our Lord, according to
certain teachers, might or might not see of the travail of His soul. I
confess that I do not believe in this random redemption, and I wonder that
any persons can derive comfort from such teaching. I believe that the Son
of God could not possibly have come into the world in the circumstances in
which He did come, and could not have died as He did die, and yet be
defeated and disappointed. He died for those who believe in Him, and these
shall live, yea, they do live in Him.
C.H. Spurgeon

THINGS THAT PROMOTE PEACE
Pastor Henry Mahan
(Romans
14:19) "Let us therefore follow after the things which promote peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another"
1. Be careful to LOVE one another with a true heart. Love covers a multitude of failures.
2. Avoid a spirit of ARGUMENT AND DEBATE. One may win an argument and lose a friend.
3. Beware of JEALOUSY. Jealousy destroys happiness and builds suspicion.
4. Beware of ENVY. Let us learn to rejoice in another's gifts, blessings, and happiness. God gives as HE will!
5. Do not MEDDLE in the private lives and domestic affairs of others.
6. Guard against a TOUCHY TEMPER. "For every trifling thing to take offense shows either great pride or little sense."
7. Learn to KEEP A CONFIDENCE. "He that repeateth a matter separateth very friends."
8. Strive to HEAL DIFFERENCES. "Blessed are the peacemakers."
9. Be always ready to FORGIVE ANYTHING. "Forgive us our sins AS we forgive those who sin against us."
******************************
Children rejoice when they see they are growing up. There was a time we only played like it. When the believer finds that temptation to a thing is not as strong as it once was, when he finds that he can read a passage of Scripture and immediately know what it is talking about, there is a peace in this. You notice that what you once called a heavy trial, now is a light affliction. Grace will cause you to not be the person you used to be.

******************************
James Osbourn – 1836
A refuge for sinners the Gospel makes known,
'Tis found in the merits of Jesus alone;
The weary, the tempted, the burdened of sin
Are never excluded from entering in.
This refuge for sinners God's love did ordain
In Jesus, the Lamb, from eternity slain;
In Christ the Redeemer Who lived and Who died,
God's law and His justice are now satisfied.
Should conscience accuse us, as often it may,
The blood of our Saviour has put sin away;
In Jesus, our Surety, the sinner can view
A city of refuge and righteousness too.
(Tune: "How Firm A Foundation")

(Deuteronomy 33:27-29) "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency!"
