Silence at the right times is a great asset in winning an argument.

God’s grace can keep you cool in hot places, sweet in sour places, and little in big places.

“We believe in Jesus. We have no other confidence. Where could we find any other?” — Charles Spurgeon

Go to church to worship rather than whisper; to commune rather than criticize; to edify rather than entertain; and to serve rather than to be served.

Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod; With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God? Yes, we'll gather at the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river; Gather with the saints at the river That flows by the throne of God.

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God, Let us follow the path that our Master has trod; With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew, Let us do with our might what our hands find to do. Toiling on, toiling on, Toiling on, toiling on: Let us hope, let us watch...

This generation needs men and women who will hold up the light of the gospel as they run their race. From yesterday's Commencement West Coast Baptist College:

Willpower doesn’t work without won’t-power.

"Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can."—D. L. Moody

My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea, So burdened with sin, and distressed, Till I heard a sweet voice saying, "Make Me your choice," And I entered the Haven of Rest. I've anchored my soul in the Haven of Rest, I'll sail the wide seas no more; The tempest may sweep . . .

In lovingkindness Jesus came, My soul in mercy to reclaim! And from the depths of sin and shame, By grace He lifted me! From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me! From shades of night to planins of light, O praise His name! Jesus lifted me!

So send I you to labor unrewarded, To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown, To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing- So send I you to toil for Me alone. "As the Father hath sent Me, so send I you."

Jesus did this for me and He will do the same for you!!

Jesus was willing to go wherever obedience required. Following His example, we should never let hardship or sacrifice keep us from doing the will of God. #DailyDevotion vist.ly/53gur

"Men do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself, but because it contradicts them."

"Take up thy cross and follow Me." I heard my Master say; "I gave My life to ransom thee. Surrender your all today." Wherever He leads I'll go, Wherever He leads I'll go, I'll follow my Christ who loves me so, Wherever He leads I'll go.

In a world full of uncertainty, true hope is found in God. (Watch full message, "Victorious Hope": lancasterbaptist.org/sermons/pastor…)
