Are you Nourishing your Inner Man?

The Lord taught me that the first business I needed to attend to every day was to have my spirit happy in the Lord. My first concern shouldn’t be thinking of ways to serve the and glorify the Lord,  but rather, how to get my spirit into a happy state, and how to nourish my inner man. –George Mueller

Invest in your Children

Sow into your children your entire life, especially during their years at home: saturate them in the Word, Bible studies, prayer, family worship, and sound teaching.

Following Jesus is the Right Response

 

When I came to see that Jesus Christ had died for me, it didn't seem hard to give up all for Him. It seemed just common, ordinary honesty.

C. T. Studd

The Living God has Spoken!

There is a living God;
He has spoken in the Bible;
He means what He says
and will do all He has promised.

The Name of Jesus Drives Away Fear

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

Believe and Practice? Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Though we claim to believe the whole of Scripture, in practice we frequently deny much of it by ignoring it.

A Man's Words when His Memory started failing--inspiring!

 

My memory is nearly gone;
but I remember two things;
That I am a great sinner, and
that Christ is a great Saviour.

Do you really love Christ?

Love to Christ is proved by doing
the things which He commands,
and not merely saying, "Lord, Lord."

C. H. Mackintosh

My Bible and I

My Bible and I

We've traveled together through life's rugged way,
O'er land and o'ver water, by night and by day:
To travel without it I never would try;
We keep close together, my Bible and I.

In sorrow I've proved it my comfort and joy,
When weak my strong tower which nought can destroy;
When death comes so near me 'tis thought I would die,
We still are together, my Bible and I.

If powers of evil against me would come,
And threaten to rob me of heaven and home,
God's Word then directs me to Him in the sky;
And nothing can part us, my Bible and I.

When evil temptations are brought to my view,
And I in my weakness know not what to do,
On Christ as my strength I am taught to rely;
And so we keep company, my Bible and I.

When life's path is ended; if Jesus should come
And take all his blood-purchased brethren home;
Or if, in long suffering, He waits till I die,
We'll never be parted, my Bible and I.

And when in the glory my Lord I behold,
With all His redeemed gathered safe in the fold,
My Bible and I close companions will be,
FOR GOD'S WORD ABIDES FOR ALL ETERNITY.
                                —Author unknown

Evangelism Minded?

Some want to live within the sound
Of Church or Chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop
Within a yard of hell.

C. T. Studd

Desire Peace but don't Sacrifice Truth for it

Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.

Matthew Henry

No Substitutes for Jesus

Christianity is Christ!

No one ever lost out by excessive devotion to Christ.

Christ is a substitute for everything,
but nothing is a substitute for Christ.

H. A. Ironside

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine!

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh what a foretaste of Glory Divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of the Spirit, washed in His Blood.

Fanny Crosby

Just an Ordinary Day

Just An Ordinary Day

Sometime some ordinary day will come,
A busy day like this—filled to the brim
With ordinary tasks—perhaps so full
That we have little thought or care for Him.

And there will be no hint from silent skies,
No sign, no clash of cymbals, roll of drums;
And yet that ordinary day will be
The very day in which our Lord will come.
                      —Author unknown

Trying to Earn God's Approval? You Can't.

Salvation is a work of God for man,
rather than a work of man for God.

Lewis Sperry Chafer

Where's your source of power?

The secret of peace within, and power without, is to be always and only occupied with Christ.

When Not Doing Something is Sin

 

It is not only that sin consists in doing evil,
but in not doing the good that we know.

H. A. Ironside

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

James 4:17 (ESV)

The Testimony of Polycarp

Eighty and six years have I now served Christ, and he has never done me the least wrong; how, then, can I blaspheme my King and my Saviour?

Polycarp

So you think it's a Secret

It may be a secret sin on earth,
but it is open scandal in heaven.

Lewis Sperry Chafer

Forgivness O How Sweet! It is the Gift, the Grace of God to Me

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

William Cowper

Is your Testimony matching

If lips and life do not agree, the testimony will not amount to much.

H. A. Ironside

Manifest the Truth

We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth.
We tell people the world is vain;
let our lives manifest that it is so.
We tell them that our home is above
and that all these things are transitory.
Does our dwelling look like it?
O to live consistent lives!

Hudson Taylor

Saying or Living?

Our walk counts far more than our talk, always!

George Müller

Bearing fruit?

The best evidence of our having the truth is our walking in the truth.

Matthew Henry

What's your guide?

There is one sure and infallible guide to truth, and therefore, one, and only one corrective for error, and that is the Word of God.
