Tidbits


Behold the Gospel. Good news at its best.  ~Beth Moore

Worry, like a rocking chair, will give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.  ~Vance Havner

You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You; because he trusts in You. None of those who trust in Him shall be desolate. The Lord knows those who trust in Him. Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You; which You have wrought for those who trust in You before the sons of men. You shall hide them in the secret of Your presence. What a marvelous and precious cluster of Divine encouragements.   ~Octavius Winslow

The Word of God, whether it is preached and heard or read and memorized, is more than simply true. It is effectual.  ~Sam Storms

Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.  ~Voltaire

By God's grace, we can afford to be overlooked and underappreciated and quiet about it.  ~Scotty Smith

I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.  ~John Piper

Gossip is oral diarrhea. Yeah, it really is that gross.  ~Scotty Smith

In the middle of all the changes in life, it's good for us that there is One whom change cannot affect, whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows. Everything else changes. The sun grows dim with age, the world is growing old, and the heavens and earth will soon pass away and perish. But there is One who alone has immortality, of whose years there is no end, and in whose person there is no change. The delight that sailors feel when they step upon solid shore after having been tossed about for many days is like what Christians feel when, in the middle of all the changes of this troubled life, they rest their faith upon this truth: 'I the Lord do not change.'  ~Charles Spurgeon
