Good stuff.

Backward Christian Soldiers... Let the following be not true of us!

'Backward Christian soldiers, fleeing from the fight
With the Cross of Jesus nearly out of sight.
Christ our rightful master, stands against the foe
But forward into battle, we are loathe to go.
Like a mighty tortoise moves the Church of God
Brothers we are treading where we’ve always trod.
We are much divided, many bodies we
Having many doctrines, not much charity.
Crowns and thorns may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus hidden does remain.
Gates of Hell should never ‘gainst the Church prevail
We have Christ’s own promise, but think that it will fail.
Sit here then ye people, join our useless throng
Blend with ours your voices in a feeble song
Blessings, ease and comfort, ask from Christ the King
With our modern thinking, we don’t do a thing.'

“A church that refuses to take the gospel into the world meets together for judgement. Every song, every prayer, every sermon is but another indictment of its guilt.”

'To whom much is given much will be required.'

-Mr. Jon Pilgrim

“Teach me humbly to receive the sun and rain of Your sovereignty.
Each strand of sorrow has a place within this tapestry of grace;
So through the trials I choose to say, ‘Your perfect will in Your perfect way’.”

Do you have Christ and does Christ have you?

Your thought for today.

Find hope where there is true hope!

In Jesus alone.

Let those that have ears hear what the Spirit says…

My friend, you have a never-dying soul. Your heart will be restless until it finds its rest in God. You were made for eternity. You are more precious than the world, the majestic animals, and the stars. God made you as the crowning work of His creation.
-Joseph Urban
