Prayer Quotes

"How often have we prayed something like, 'O Lord, be with cousin Billy now in a special way'? Have we stopped to consider what it is we're requesting? Imagine that you are a parent who is preparing to leave your children with a babysitter. Would you dream of saying, 'O Betsy, I ask you now that you would be with my children in a special way'? No way. You would say, 'Betsy, the kids need to be in bed by 9 pm. They can have one snack before their baths, and please make sure they finish their homework. You can reach us at this number if there's any problem. Any questions before we go?' We are very specific with our requests and instructions for our babysitters. We want them to know specifics. It should be no different with prayer." -David Jeremiah

"There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed." -Charles Spurgeon

To Live Is CHRIST

"Some Christians are for living on Christ, but are not so anxious to live for Christ. Earth should be preparation for heaven." ~C. H. Spurgeon

How can we expect to enjoy spending all of our time in heaven with our Saviour, if we are not even willing to spend a portion of every day serving and worshipping Jesus?

We are not called to self-indulgence and a life of ease, we are called to suffer for Christ by doing right. We are called be the body of Jesus Christ Himself;cry out for the nedy, to pray for the persecuted, to reach out to the lost, to show love to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and to love the Lord our God with every fiber of our being!

I heard it asked, "What good is it having someone who can walk on water if you don't follow in his footsteps?"



Footprints of Jesus

Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.

Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

Though they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam’s fountains,
Helping the weak.

Refrain

If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

Refrain

Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!

Refrain

If Thy way and its sorrows bearing,
We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain.

Refrain

By and by, through the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav’n’s golden street.

Refrain

Then at last when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.

Asleep in the Light by Keith Green

Do you see?
Do you see?
All the people sinking down?
Don't you care?
Don't you care?
Are you gonna let them drown?

How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come!?
You close your eyes,
And pretend the job's done

"Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord"
You know it's all I ever hear
No one aches!
No one hurts!
No one even sheds one tear!

But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for your needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in,
Oh, can't you see it's such a sin?

Cause He brings people to you door,
And you turn them away
As you smile and say,
"God bless you, be at peace"
And all heaven just weeps
Cause Jesus came to your door
You've left him out on the streets

Open up!
Open up!
And give yourself away
You see the need,
You hear the cries,
So how can you delay?

God's calling and you're the one
But like Jonah you run,
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in,
Oh can't you see it's such a sin?

The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light!
How can you be so dead,
When you've been so well fed?
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed!

Oh, Jesus rose from the dead!
Come on, get out of your bed!

How can you be so numb,
Not to care if they come?
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done,
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done

Don't close your eyes!
Don't pretend the jobs done!
Come away!
Come away!
Come away with Me, My love!
Come away, from this mess!
Come away with Me, my love.

Verse of the Week

Let the Beauty of Jesus Be Seen In Me

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
All His wonderful passion and purity;
May His Spirit divine
All my being refine,
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me.

When your burden is heavy and hard to bear,
When your neighbors refuse all your load to share,
When you're feeling so blue,
Don't know just what to do,
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you.

When somebody has been so unkind to you,
Some word spoken that pierces you through and through,
Think how He was beguiled,
Spat upon and reviled;
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you.

From the dawn of the morning to close of day,
In example, in deeds, and in all you say,
Lay your gifts at His feet,
Ever strive to keep sweet,
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you.
