FOOD FOR THOUGHT – C.H. SPURGEON

There was a little boy, whom his mother noticed as always wonderfully attentive to the Word; he would frequently put his hand to his ear so as to catch every word from the preacher. She said to him, “John, why do you do that, my dear?” He replied, “Did you not hear the minister say, the other Sunday, that, if there was any part of the sermon that would be sure to do us good, the devil would try to cause a disturbance just then, so that we might not hear it. So I am determined that, if there is anything that is likely to do me good, I will hear it.” Any man, or woman, or child, who will hear like that, will not hear in vain; that is impossible.

If I am not faithful in attending worship services, I tell my children by that action that worship really is not that important!  If I do not make my children attend worship services, I tell them by my actions that their attendance really is not that important.  The acorn usually does not fall far from the tree.  I have seen over the years that if parents are unfaithful, their children will be even more unfaithful.  If parents allow children to miss worship services the underlying theme is that public worship is not all important. 

We would not dream of letting them not attend school out of fear it will cause them to hate school.  We know that it is best for our children to attend school.  We are wiser than our children and are seeking their best interests, whether they understand it or not.  Our children hearing the Gospel is more important than their earthly education!  We say we believe that.  Let's prove it by our actions by making sure our children are here when the Gospel of Christ is preached.
Pastor Todd Nibert

******************************

There was a young man, some years ago, who dishonored his father's name in the village where he lived, — a scapegrace, as they called him, — and he ran away from his home, to go to a distant land. He came to London, and went on board a vessel, at the docks, expecting to sail. This was on a Saturday, but an accident occurred, and the ship was delayed, so he had a Sunday in London. He remembered that his father had often spoken of the Tabernacle, so he enquired the way, and came here, an utterly ungodly young man. Some months after, in a letter which he wrote to his home, his father was surprised to find that he was commencing to preach the gospel. He said that, on that Sunday night when he came here, the Lord met with him, and saved him. That was a blessed accident, that kept him from sailing on the Saturday, and that brought him here to listen to the gospel of Jesus. I never know who may be in my congregation. Ah, Tom, you scapegrace, I should not wonder, as you have come in here, if there was another wonder in store for you; and I trust that the Lord has sent the gospel to you by that singular providence which has brought you amongst us here.

 CALL TO WORSHIP
Robert Murray McCheyne (1813-1843)

When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon radiant sun,
When I stand with Christ on high,
Looking o'er life's history,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not 'til then, how much I owe.

When I stand before Thy throne
Dressed in beauty not my own,
When I see Thee as Thou art,
Love Thee with unsinning heart,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not 'til then, how much I owe.

When the praise of Heaven I hear,
Loud as thunder to the ear,
Loud as many waters' noise,
Sweet as harp's melodious voice:
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not 'til then, how much I owe.

Chosen not for good in me,
Wakened up from wrath to flee,
Hidden in the Saviour's side,
By His Spirit sanctified;
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show
By Thy love, how much I owe.

(Tune: "Rock of Ages")
