Thou hidden Source of calm repose,
Thou all-sufficient Love Divine,
My help and refuge from my foes,
Secure I am, if Thou art mine;
And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame,
I hide me, Jesus, in Thy Name.
Thy mighty Name salvation is,
And keeps my happy soul above;
Comfort it brings, and power, and peace,
And joy, and everlasting love;
To me, with [...]

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God,
and fear him,
and keep his commandments,
and obey his voice,
and ye shall serve him,
and cleave unto him.

“They straightway left their nets, and followed him.”
Matthew 4:20
Their nets were probably all they had. It was with these that they earned their living. Yet at the call of Christ they gave up all, cut themselves off from their means of support, and in simple obedience and faith went with Him. That is just the [...]
Tell Men So! {unknown}
Posted in Heart, Help, Humility, Love, Poetry, Soul, Word on May 28, 2008 | No Comments »
If you hear a kind word spoken
of some worthy soul you know,
It may fill his heart with sunshine
If you only tell him so.
If a deed, however humble,
helps you on your way to go,
Seek the one whose hand has helped you,
seek him out and tell him so!
If your heart is touched and tender
toward a sinner, lost [...]

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.”
–Psalm 55:22
Care, even though exercised upon legitimate objects, if carried to excess, has in it the nature of sin. The precept to avoid anxious care is earnestly inculcated by our Saviour, again and again; it is reiterated by the apostles; and it is one which [...]
The Door {F.I.L.}
Posted in Poetry on May 26, 2008 | No Comments »
Today the Door is open;
Will to-morrow be too late?
To-day the Saviour beckons,
Tho’ the world reeks crime and hate. –
To-day the Saviour’s glory
Brings eternal blessings – but
To-morrow? Ah! The Judgement!
– And the Door? –
The Door is shut!

“If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”
Matthew 5:23,24
There is something to do before we kneel down to pray in our [...]

The world knew him not.
That’s what the Holy Spirit said in John 1:10, “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.”
The world knew Him not.
That is an amazing fact. At face value, this Scripture teaches that creation did not recognise its Creator.
Have you ever pondered [...]
Be Not Ashamed

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16

“Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:”
Matthew 5:22
We ought to learn to read the commandments with the light of our Lord’s explanation upon them. So long as the sixth commandment is interpreted to mean only actual murder, most people get along pretty well with it; they [...]

“Afterward.”
–Hebrews 12:11
How happy are tried Christians, afterwards. No calm more deep than that which succeeds a storm. Who has not rejoiced in clear shinings after rain? Victorious banquets are for well-exercised soldiers. After killing the lion we eat the honey; after climbing the Hill Difficulty, we sit down in the arbour to rest; after traversing [...]

“And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches. For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye and your cattle, and your beasts.”
