“I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go.” - Song of Solomon_3:4 Does Christ receive us when we come to him, notwithstanding all our past sinfulness? Does he never chide us for having tried all other refuges first? And is there none on earth like him? Is he the best of all the good, the fairest of all the fair? Oh, then let us praise him! Daughters of Jerusalem, extol him with timbrel and harp! Down with your idols, up with the Lord Jesus. Now let the standards of pomp and pride be trampled under foot, but let the cross of Jesus, which the world frowns and scoffs at, be lifted on high. O for a throne of ivory for our King Solomon! Let him be set on high for ever, and let my soul sit at his footstool, and kiss his feet, and wash them with my tears. Oh, how precious is Christ! How can it be that I have thought so little of him? How is it I can go abroad for joy or comfort when he is so full, so rich, so satisfying. Fellow believer, make a covenant with thine...

"Evening “My Beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.” - Song of Solomon 5:4 Knocking was not enough, for my heart was too full of sleep, too cold and ungrateful to arise and open the door, but the touch of his effectual grace has made my soul bestir itself. Oh, the longsuffering of my Beloved, to tarry when he found himself shut out, and me asleep upon the bed of sloth! Oh, the greatness of his patience, to knock and knock again, and to add his voice to his knockings, beseeching me to open to him! How could I have refused him! Base heart, blush and be confounded! But what greatest kindness of all is this, that he becomes his own porter and unbars the door himself. Thrice blessed is the hand which condescends to lift the latch and turn the key. Now I see that nothing but my Lord’s own power can save such a naughty mass of wickedness as I am; ordinances fail, even the gospel has no effect upon me, till his hand is stretched out. Now, also, ...

What a beggarly thing it is for a man only to do his work well when he is watched. Such oversight is for boys at school and mere hirelings. Spurgeon M en and women who hear the Gospel regularly, I often fear much for you. I fear lest you become so familiar with the sounds of its doctrines, that you gradually become dead to its power. I fear lest your religion should sink down into a little vague talk about your own weakness and corruption, and a few sentimental expressions about Christ, while real practical fighting on Christ’s side is altogether neglected. Oh, beware of this state of mind! “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” No victory—no crown! Fight and overcome! ~ J.C. Ryle Blessed is he who expects nothing of poor flesh and blood, for he shall never be disappointed. Spurgeon When the wheel turns, those who are lowest rise, and the highest sink. Patience, then, believer, eternity will right the wrongs of time. Spurgeon "Boast not of Christ's work...

Friday, September 23, 2011 Heaven's Location The location of heaven doesn’t concern me. Just because I couldn’t tell you the exact location of the country of Mauritania doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. All we can say for certain is that it is “up” (see Deut. 30:12 ; Amos 9:2 ; John 3:13 ). Most people don’t realize the Bible teaches that heaven is coming down to earth. We are waiting for a new heavens and a new earth in which God will make all things new (see Isa. 65:17 ; 2 Pet. 3:13 ). Completely. When God sets up His kingdom on this earth, He is going to remove the Genesis curse; that means there will be no more floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes, disease, weeds, pain, suffering, or death. It is then that “the wolf and the lamb shall feed together” ( Isa. 65:25 ), and creation will stop devouring itself (see Rom. 8:18–25 ). Those who trust in Jesus Christ will be given brand new bodies that will be like the resurrected bod...

Here's another challenging clip. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this topic! I'm looking forward to watching the movie soon! (It is released on 26th!)

"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world." Philippians 2:14+15 So as well as thinking of ways to encourage each other, lets try stopping ourselves complaining! (Well, that's a challenge to me even if it isn't to anyone else!) "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death, if by any mean...

Faith obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession. Spurgeon If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him. Work for Him. If He has loved you and washed you from your sins in His own blood, you never need shrink from letting others know that you feel it, and love Him in return. ~ J.C. Ryle He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them. Spurgeon "When we allow God to be exalted in our difficulties we are in the perfect place to smell the fragrance of His Presence." AW Tozer The saints are sinners still. Our best tears need to be wept over, the strongest faith is mixed with unbelief. Spurgeon "Christians often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in a box isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." AW Tozer Stagger not at electing love; it is one of the highest notes of heavenly music. Spur...

“Encourage him.” - Deuteronomy_1:38 "Brethren, take the text as God’s message to you. Labour to help others, and especially strive to encourage them. Talk cheerily to the young and anxious enquirer, lovingly try to remove stumblingblocks out of his way. When you find a spark of grace in the heart, kneel down and blow it into a flame. Leave the young believer to discover the roughness of the road by degrees, but tell him of the strength which dwells in God, of the sureness of the promise, and of the charms of communion with Christ. Aim to comfort the sorrowful, and to animate the desponding. Speak a word in season to him that is weary, and encourage those who are fearful to go on their way with gladness. God encourages you by his promises; Christ encourages you as he points to the heaven he has won for you, and the spirit encourages you as he works in you to will and to do of his own will and pleasure. Imitate divine wisdom, and encourage others." I think it would be grea...

I think this is a really great song, and I've thought so since I first heard it. I hope you enjoy it too.

Further to my previous blog post, here is the link for Creation Research's web museum. There is some more fascinating information to be found here!! http://evidenceweb.net/index.php?pr=MainPage and here! http://www.creationresearch.net/ Get researching!! :)

Well, Dad and I had a really fantastic time in Winsford, Cheshire listening to John Mackay. There were 3 sessions, and we arrived a few minutes into the 1st session due to a traffic jam. It sometimes feels a bit like information overload as he always gives so many fascinating facts. We learnt a lot!! 1 of my favourite parts was when he told us not to blame God for broccoli and brussels sprouts because they come from the cabbage and its man made breeding etc that gave us all these varieties. (But left to their own devices, they would revert to wild cabbage!!!!) We also had a great time singing along to Helen Shapiro's latest album "What Wondrous Love is this?" :):)

Well, after a really great night last night, I get a day off :) and my Dad is taking me to Winsford to hear John Mackay who is the founder of Australian creation ministry Creation Resarch. I'm excited :)3 sessions and they're going to be really great as well!

Well, we had an absolutely fantastic time with Helen Shapiro at St. Thomas' Church, Lancaster, this evening. It was great! She has a really powerful voice and a really powerful presentation of the Gospel incorporated with her testimony! Everyone I spoke to had REALLY enjoyed it and been so blessed. :)

I want you to beware of letting good thoughts and godly convictions slip away, if you have them. Cherish them and nourish them, lest you lose them for ever. Make the most of them, lest they take to themselves wings and flee away. Have you an inclination to begin praying? Put it in practice at once. Have you an idea of beginning really to serve Christ? Set about it at once. Are you enjoying any spiritual light? See that you live up to your light. Trifle not with opportunities, lest the day come when you will want to use them, and not be able. Linger not, lest you become wise too late. ~ J.C. Ryle It very often happens that the converts that are born in excitement die when the excitement is over. Spurgeon Any battle for victory, power, and deliverance - from ourselves and from sin - which is not based constantly upon the gazing and the beholding of the Lord Jesus, with the heart and life lifted up to Him, is doomed to failure. Alan Redpath If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full ...

I really love this song and I think its a great video too. So, I'm quite surprised I haven't put it on here before now! How remiss of me! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :)

O blessed Jesus, it is the same still, thou wilt not dazzle or amuse, and therefore men prefer any charlatan to thee. Spurgeon Are you a true believer? If you are, you ought to glory in Christ. Glory not in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, your own prayers, your own amendment, your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ. Alas! The best of us know but little of that merciful and mighty Saviour. We do not exalt Him and glory in Him enough. Let us pray that we may see more of the fullness there is in Him. ~ J.C. Ryle Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life. Spurgeon “…your life is safe in the care of the Lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch!” 1 Samuel 25:29 NLT Half our fears arise from neglect of the Bible and are the result of ignorance. Spurgeon I find all these quotes very interesting. I hope you do too! + Always remember that God cares for you so your life is safe in Him (although t...

O my Redeemer, What a Friend Thou art to me! Oh, what a refuge I have found in Thee! When the way was dreary, And my heart was sore oppressed, ’Twas Thy voice that lulled me To a calm sweet rest. Refrain Nearer, draw nearer, Till my soul is lost in Thee; Nearer, draw nearer, Blessèd Lord, to me. When in their beauty Stars unveil their silver light, Then, O my Saviour, Give me songs at night— Songs of yonder mansions, Where the dear ones, gone before, Sing Thy praise for ever, On that peaceful shore. Refrain Jesus, my Saviour, When the last deep shadows fall; When in the silence I shall hear Thy call— In Thine arms reposing, Let me breathe my life away, And awake triumphant, In eternal day. Refrain http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/w/f/wfyor2me.htm O safe to the Rock that is higher than I, My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly; So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine, would I be; Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee. Refrain ...

If we know any thing of true saving religion, let us ever beware of the beginnings of backsliding. It is like the letting out of water, first a drop and then a torrent. Once out of the way of holiness, there is no saying to what we may come. Once giving way to petty inconsistencies, we may find ourselves one day committing every sort of wickedness. Let us keep far from the brink of evil. Let us not play with fire. Let us never fear being too particular, too strict, and too precise. No petition in the Lord’s prayer is more important than the last but one, “Lead us not into temptation.” ~ J.C. Ryle   No law can give me the right to do what is wrong. - Abraham Lincoln  "Having made Jesus your all, you shall find all in Jesus." - C.H. Spurgeon   Let all who desire to please Christ, watch and pray against self-esteem. It is a feeling which is deeply rooted in our hearts. Thousands have come out from the world, taken up the cross, professed to forsake their own righte...
