We apologize for yesterday’s technical delay with our message.

You can’t win over the devil with physical force, with human influence, with scientific skill, with money, with arguments or threats or promises.  It takes spiritual armor and weapons provided by God and Him alone.

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Galatians 5:5
The King James Version

An Atlantic passenger laid in his bunk in a storm, deathly seasick.  A cry of “Man overboard!” was heard.  “May God help the poor fellow,” prayed the man, “there is nothing I can do.”  Then he thought, “At least I can put my lantern in the porthole,” which he did.  The man was rescued, and recounting the story the next day, said, “I was going down in the darkness for the last time when someone put a light in a porthole.  It shone on my hand, and a sailor in the life boat grabbed it and pulled me in.”  Weakness is no excuse for our not putting forth all the little strength we have, and who can tell how God will use it?

One can hardly think too little of oneself.  One can hardly think too much of one’s soul.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city.”  And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Acts 18:9-11
The Revised Standard Version

Sinners cannot find God for the same reason that criminals cannot find a policeman: They aren’t looking!

One of the devil’s snares is so to occupy us with the past and the future as to weaken us for the present.

But you, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations.

Lamentations 5:19
The English Standard Version

A sermon that gets only as far as the ear is like a dinner eaten in a dream.

It pays to serve the Lord; but don’t serve the Lord because it pays—for if you serve the Lord because it pays, it then may not pay.

Robert G. LeTourneau

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.  He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water—a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought.  Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
The Living Bible

This life therefore is not righteousness but growth in righteousness; not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise.  We are not what we shall be but we are growing toward it; the process is not yet finished but it is going on; this is not the end but it is the road.  All does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified.

Whatever God gives you to do, do it as well as you can.  This is the best possible preparation for what he may want you to do next.

George MacDonald

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.  Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good.  Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Psalm 143:9-10
The New King James Version

In silence comes all loveliness,
The dawn is ever still,
No noise accompanies the dew
That glistens on the hill.

The sunrise slips up quietly,
The moon is never heard,
And love that animates the eye
Surpasses any word.

So prayer is best in solitude,
It seems so very odd
That long ago, I did not know
In silence I’d find God.

Jane Sayre

The equipment for the inner life of prayer is simple.  It consists of a quiet place, a quiet hour and a quiet heart.

I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.

1 John 2:12
The New King James Version

Someday – I’m going down the street
And sit and chat with one whose feet
Have had to pause and rest awhile
Before they travel that last mile;
Well – someday.

Someday – A cake or pie I’ll bake
And with a cheery smile I’ll take
It to a home where there is need;
Just folks, of quite a different creed;
Well – someday.

Someday – A letter I will send
To that distant, lonely friend;
I’lI tell her every little thing
That will joy and comfort bring;
Well – someday.

Someday – A quiet place Ill seek
Where I can hear my Father speak,
Where I can listen undisturbed
To His precious guiding Word;
Someday.

Someday – I’ll surely take the time
To tell some soul of love divine,
Of salvation full and free,
Meant for them as well as me;
Someday.

Someday – I said it long ago.
The days slip by, and well I know
“Someday” will never come until
Today bends to my Father’s will.
Why not today?

The enemy of our souls loves to taunt us with past failures, wrongs, disappointments, disasters, and calamities.  And if we let him continue doing this, our life becomes a long and dark tunnel, with very little light at the end.

Charles Swindoll

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Hebrews 13:4
The English Standard Version

My situation is urgent, and I cannot see how I will ever be delivered.  Yet this is not my concern, for He who made the promise will find a way to keep it.  My part is simply to obey His commands, not to direct His ways.  I am His servant, not His advisor.  I call upon Him and He will deliver me.

C. H. Spurgeon

Christ spells peace.  When everything else in life fails Jesus draws near to support.  He makes real, through His living Presence, that those whose minds are stayed on God shall be kept in perfect peace.

Unknown

O God, thou knowest my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from thee.

Psalm 69:5
The Revised Standard Version

As a gardener is dependent upon God to grow a plant, so a parent is dependent upon God to grow a life.

Pride opens the door to every other sin, for once we are more concerned with our reputation than our character, there is no end to the things we will do just to make ourselves “look good” before others.

Warren Wiersbe

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28
The King James Version

God uses broken things.  It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength.  It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume…it is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.

Sometimes I think spiritual and physical strength is like manna: you get just what you need for the day, no more.

Suzanne Dale Ezell

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11
The New International Version

A poor blind woman in Paris put twenty-seven francs into a plate at a missionary meeting.  “You cannot afford so much,” said one.  “Yes sir, I can,” she answered.  On being pressed to explain, she said, “I am blind, and I said to my fellow straw-workers, ‘How much money do you spend in a year for oil for your lamps when it is too dark to work nights?’  They replied, ‘Twenty-seven francs.’  “So,” said the poor woman, “I found that I have so much in the year because I am blind and do not need a lamp, and I give it to shed light to the dark heathen lands.”
