It's Not a Baby...Right?

This is absolutely ridiculous!

A Very Interesting Read

It kisses--and kills!

By: George Swinnock

"The deceitfulness of sin." Hebrews 3:13

Sin goes in a disguise--and thence is welcome.

Like Judas, it kisses--and kills!

Like Joab, it salutes--and slays!

A Bill In Uganda Has Mr. Warren Upset.

Warren: The bible teaches that "all sex outside of marriage is not what God intends"....

GTR: No, actually it says that it's an abomination. It's sin. It's wrong. Why does Mr. Warren feel like he needs to water down what the Bible says to make it more comfortable for the world to hear? What favor is he doing anyone? He's not...when you reword things to remove the conviction you are keeping people from the TRUTH.

Shame on You Mr. Warren.

Only One Life

By Charles Thomas Studd, Missionary to China, India, and Africa

Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way; Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done; Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgment seat; Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choice Bidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God’s holy will to cleave; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Only one life, a few brief years, Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears; Each with its clays I must fulfill, living for self or in His will; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

When this bright world would tempt me sore, When Satan would a victory score; When self would seek to have its way, Then help me Lord with joy to say; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Give me Father, a purpose deep, In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep; Faithful and true what e’er the strife, Pleasing Thee in my daily life; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Oh let my love with fervor burn, And from the world now let me turn;Living for Thee, and Thee alone, Bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne; Only one life, “twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Only one life, yes only one, Now let me say, “Thy will be done”;And when at last I’ll hear the call, I know I’ll say ’twas worth it all”;Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Little slips!

(J. R. Miller, "Miller's Year Book--a Year's Daily Readings")

"Whoever is faithful in very little--is also faithful in much; and whoever is unrighteous in very little--is also unrighteous in much." Luke 16:10

We are apt to under-estimate little failures in duty.

It seems to us, a small matter: that we do not keep an engagement, that we lose our temper, that we say an impatient or angry word, that we show an unkind or harsh spirit, that we speak uncharitably of another, that we treat someone with discourtesy, or fail in some other way which appears trivial.

We think that so long as we are honest, faithful, and loving in the larger things--that it of small importance, that we make 'little slips'.

But we never can tell what may be the consequences of our failure, in even the most minute duty.

A little slip hurts our own life! It leaves us a little weaker in our character, a little less able to resist the next temptation that comes at the same point. It breaks our habit of faithfulness, and makes it easier for us to break it a second time. We sin against ourselves, when we relax our diligence or our faithfulness, in even the least thing!

Then, we do not know what the consequences to others will be--when we fail in their presence. An outburst of temper in a Christian, may hinder many others in their Christian life. The failure of a Christian minister to pay a little debt, may destroy the minister's influence over many in his church.
