I want to talk about the stars today. They are amazing and speak to the absolute sovereignty of God Almighty, but first let’s talk about America’s sins: https://t.co/Tg6uOyt9Qr
We live in a generation that has made an artform of leaving a child to himself; rather than putting the yoke of godly obedience on a child and training them to carry it (Proverbs 22:16).

Email received, yesterday, from a neighbor: “Did you hear about the recent school shooting? How can anyone be evil enough to shoot children? Sometimes evil is so very hard to understand.”

The Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Deut.31:8

Twas with an everlasting love
That God his own elect embraced
Before he made the worlds above,
Or earth on her huge columns placed.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ... A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? Eccl.3:1, 8-9.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance. Ps28
"He who helped you when you were but a youth and ruddy, will help you now though you are old and infirm, and who knoweth what you may do yet!"
- Charles Spurgeon
@jworthington No need. We are always on your mind. Praise God...He did that good work. Please consider the wisdom of stopping your proud rebellion against your creator.
The love of Christ is pure and absolutely free from alloy. There cannot be the least suspicion of anything of self in it. And it is absolutely undeserved.
- John Owen
"My Lord has had reason enough to send me packing hundreds of times if he had willed to do so. He has not waited all these years to pick a quarrel with you at the last, I am sure, for he might have justly removed you from his household years ago."
- Charles Spurgeon
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:7-8

There Is A Stream, Whose Gentle Flow
Supplies The City Of Our God,
Life, Love, And Joy Still Gliding Through,
And Watering Our Divine Abode.
Zion Enjoys Her Monarch’s Love,
Secure Against The Threatening Hour;
Nor Can Her Firm Foundation Move,
Built On His Faithfulness And Power.
The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. Psalm 147:6-8
Before the day star knew its place,
Or planets went their round,
The church in bonds of sov’reign grace,
Were one with Jesus found.
'Twas for his saints he tasted death,
All glory to his name;
Yet when he breathed his dying breath,
With him his saint o’ercame.
