I NEEDED THE QUIET
I needed the quiet so he drew me aside
Into the shadows where we could confide,
Away from the bustle where all the day long
I hurried and worried when active and strong.
I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled,
But gently, so gently my cross he upheld,
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things,
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To heights never heard of when active and gay,
He loved me so greatly he drew me away.
I needed the quiet, no prison my bed,
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead –
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide
I needed the quiet so he drew me aside.

I Can't Pray Like That
They already made a bad decision. They already decided what they are going to do, now they want God's blessings on it, with God's people praying that God will help them as they go further away from what they should probably be doing. I can't pray like that.
It would be like praying for Jonah to have a good journey as he sails to Tarshish instead of Nineveh. I can't pray like that.
They didn't ask for counsel from God's Word. They made a decision and then wanted prayer as they went off without counsel. I can't pray like that.
Some time ago I suggested to them about another matter that they seek the counsel of a wise, former pastor's wife they knew and the look on their face was if I had slapped them. I think they knew what she would say but that was not what they wanted to hear. I can't pray like that.
It would be like praying for God to bless Rehoboam after he takes the advice of spiritually bereft individuals instead of the wise counsel offered by his father's counselors. I can't pray like that.

John R. Rice Quotes of the Week
Oh, sinner friend, what is wrong with you is not only your actions and your life, but your heart, your nature, your disposition. Even when you would like to do right, you do not know how, but basically on the great moral question of serving God, your wicked heart wants its own way.
So there is no way we can make some small payment and cover our sins. There is no fine we can pay the Judge and go free. Our attitude toward God is not that of a petty lawbreaker, but of a traitor, of an enemy, an alien, estranged from God, fighting God, running form God!
All that a poor sinner can do to have peace with God is turn his heart from sin and let God fix what the sinner cannot fix. He can hate his sins, but only God can take them away. The sinner can confess and turn his heart from his sin, but only God can make him good. - John R. Rice
At Minneapolis, Minnesota, I sat at the breakfast table in a home where the mother had tried to get her eight-year-old son to eat his food and to behave nicely at the table. He screamed at his mother, "I hate you!"
I told the boy that God said, "He that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death" (Exodus 21:15). That was the way God felt about a boy's rebellious attitude toward his mother.
Turning to me, this eight-year-old hotly said, "I don't want to hear about that!"
And so sinners go away from God because they do not want to hear the Gospel. They do not want their sin reproved; do not want to talk of heavenly things. They are blinded in sin. - John R. Rice
A famine came in the far country [Luke 15:14]. It always does. Sooner or later famine waits for the sinner. Dear lost friend, if you have not come to the famine yet, you will if you go on that road of Christ-rejection. - John R. Rice
Oh, we should thank God for the famines that come in the land of sin. Maybe otherwise many a prodigal boy would never come to his senses. Oh, thank God that we can find out sooner or later that sin does not pay. Happy are those who do not wait for the bitter dregs of the cup, but repent and seek the Lord before all the poison of the serpent is in their veins and before all the sorrows and want of the famine are experienced! - John R. Rice
The Bible says, "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." And the preceding verse says, "But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt" (Isa. 57:20, 21). In the heart of the unconverted, in the heart of a lost man or woman is the seed of famine. There is something that muddies all the water or peace, something that brings discord into all the music. There is some clamor of conscience that takes away satisfaction from the music of this world. - John R. Rice
The only reason everybody in the world does not turn to the Lord Jesus and love Him and trust Him and be saved immediately is that they are blinded in sin. Satan deceives. He is a liar. He makes white seem black. He makes the bad seem good. He promises joy out of things that are certain to bring sorrow. - John R. Rice

BIBLICAL SEPARATION AND FELLOWSHIP
I. Fellowship freely with Christians that live by the Word (Ps. 119:63, Eph. 6:23-23)
II. Fellowship carefully with "weak" Christians (Rm. 14:1-8)
III. Do not fellowship with Christians living in outrageous sin (Rm. 13:8-14, I Cor. 5:11-13, Mt. 18:17, Gal. 6:1) [The object being restoration]
IV. Do not "fellowship" with modernists, cultists, and the lost (II Cor. 6:14-18, II Jn. 7-11, I Cor. 5:9-10) [Obviously we can witness to the lost but that is not fellowship.]

THE TRINITY WORKS ON CHRISTIANS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT
Tuesday, August 22, 2017
The Nerve of some people!
I thought, "The Nerve of some people!" (How quaint!) To abuse the kindness of Subway providing tables, air-conditioning, and of course, free plasticware and napkins and bring in their inferior pizza (it wasn't even name brand). And then... it hit me. How often have I done the same to God? How often have we used God's air, the health He has given us, the resources He has allowed us to accumulate and then spent those resources (money, talents, time, whatever) on the Devil's inferior pastimes, substitutes, and what have you. How often have we squandered what God has given us on the Devil's cheap thrills. The Nerve of some people!
Then there are those who haven't even accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, depending only on Him for salvation. They ignore Him or insult Him by thinking they can add to their salvation as if He had not done enough. The songwriter had it right:
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Refrain
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
Refrain
And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.
Refrain
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
Refrain
When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
Shall rend the vaulted skies.
Refrain
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.
Refrain
