“If we give God service, it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.”
– Charles Spurgeon
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 15:58
“Righteousness in the true sense of the original language means that we become all that HE has purposed for us individually. It is something far more than moral excellence or a religious code of ethics. It is the living wonder wrought within us by the receiving of Christ Himself.”
– Brian Troxel
“Paul proved that he was a true citizen of the New Jerusalem because he became, of all men, most zealous for Christ, zealous for the gospel, zealous for the winning of souls; he seemed to try to do all he could to undo the mischief he had wrought in the days of his unregeneracy, and to work with both his hands and all his heart to establish and extend the kingdom which once he tried to overthrow. O God, by Thy great mercy, cause another Paul to be born in this house of prayer! Thou canst do it; wilt Thou not bring to Thyself, by the power of the Eternal Spirit, some wild, threatening, blustering, blaspheming hater of Christ, lay him at the dear feet of the Crucified, and cause him to look up and live? Pray for this, dear Christian people.”
~ C.H. Spurgeon
Walk On
When obscurity clouds our way,
And our confidence becomes uncertain.
Introspection brings dismay,
And doubt draws its dark curtain.
The pilgrim leans upon the past,
in the midst of present sorrow
Faith in Him:
———–the First and Last
through today unto tomorrow
——Walk On
until all earthly shadows are past
——in the countenance of the Son.
Walk On
