Only One Life By Charles Thomas Studd, Missionary to China, India, and Africa Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life's busy way; Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last. Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done; Then, in 'that day' my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgment seat; Only one life,' twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last. Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choice Bidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God's holy will to cleave; Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last. Only one life, a few brief years, Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears; Each with its clays I must fulfill, living for self or in His will; Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last. When this bright...

Here's a song I've heard and sung a few times and I really like. It's by Flora Visser and it is to the tune of How Great Thou Art (it's quite challenging too!). Oh, when I think of Thy dear people, Israel Who have not heard the sound of Thy sweet name Who know not of Thy wondrous work at Calvary And know not how Thy saving grace to claim Then cries my heart, "oh, teach me Lord to care Until they know how great Thou art" Then cries my heart, "oh, teach me Lord to care Until they know how great Thou art." Oh, when I think of empty strict traditions Which brings no life nor hope of Thy dear love Still they are blind and do not hear Thee calling Thy Word alone can bring men sight and hope Then cries my heart, "oh, make us go and tell Of Jesus whom we love so well" Then cries my heart, "oh, make us go and tell Of Jesus whom we love so well." Oh, when they come to knowledge of Messiah And they believe that Jesus died to save And as they...

I really love this song! Hope you enjoy it too!

http://www.sandagerpresentations.com I've been greatly blessed watching Susie Sandager presenting a one-woman dramatization of the life of Corrie Ten Boom in Morecambe, Kendal and Preston and they're really fantastic! I even got to help "steward" and be on the "CD (etc) stall". If you haven't heard her story, (she wrote "the Hiding Place") it's well worth a read (or you could watch the film!) and extremely challenging. Enjoy!

"The only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John_1:14 Believer, you can bear your testimony that Christ is the only begotten of the Father, as well as the first begotten from the dead. You can say, "He is divine to me, if he be human to all the world beside. He has done that for me which none but a God could do. He has subdued my stubborn will, melted a heart of adamant, opened gates of brass, and snapped bars of iron. He hath turned for me my mourning into laughter, and my desolation into joy; he hath led my captivity captive, and made my heart rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Let others think as they will of him, to me he must be the only begotten of the Father: blessed be his name. And he is full of grace. Ah! had he not been I should never have been saved. He drew me when I struggled to escape from his grace; and when at last I came all trembling like a condemned culprit to his mercy-seat he said, ‘Thy sins which are many are all forg...

I read this yesterday and wanted to share it with you. It's from Charles Spurgeon's devotional, Evening by Evening. “A very present help.” - Psalm_46:1 Covenant blessings are not meant to be looked at only, but to be appropriated. Even our Lord Jesus is given to us for our present use. Believer, thou dost not make use of Christ as thou oughtest to do. When thou art in trouble, why dost thou not tell him all thy grief? Has he not a sympathizing heart, and can he not comfort and relieve thee? No, thou art going about to all thy friends, save thy best Friend, and telling thy tale everywhere except into the bosom of thy Lord. Art thou burdened with this day’s sins? Here is a fountain filled with blood: use it, saint, use it. Has a sense of guilt returned upon thee? The pardoning grace of Jesus may be proved again and again. Come to him at once for cleansing. Dost thou deplore thy weakness? He is thy strength: why not lean upon him? Dost thou feel naked? Come hither, soul; put on th...
