“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
| Christmas comes so quickly these days, forgotten, gone. It comes anon. It's great with light and tree displays. It's time to celebrate the Joy, but money flies with present size. Return we to our best employ. by Jay O’Toole on December 3rd, 2024   |
How do we make the precious piece of art we see inside? How do we from the heart release a work, that will abide? Perfection is the wondrous glow, that staggers ev'ry mind. From God Above with Wisdom show Creations' greatest find. How doth a human show his gift, though never perfect made? How do we other hearts now lift by what we have displayed? Musicians try with every fiber of their skills to be without mistake, which would be dire, intense emotions see. But flawless music's just as bad as any I have known. I leave unmoved, nor slightly glad, and inwardly I groan. Pianist's imperfections felt are filled with the heart's desires. The listener's hearts are fully telled by wet eyes bound to cryers. Perfection truly is of God. It speaks of Who He is, but flawless playing I can't applaud when a human is the whiz. So "less is more" when humans play, creating what they know. "The feeling moves me. This I say in gifted ways that show." by Jay O’Toole on December 2nd, 2024 |
