Good Will

December 30, 2019 jakin7

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

“And when the Lord Jesus has become your peace, remember, there is another thing: good will towards men.

Do not try to keep Christmas without good will towards men.” –

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

I know there is a hope in religion; I know there is faith and I know there is prayer about religion and necessary to it,

but God is most glorified when there is peace on earth and good will towards men. Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)

I See

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen,

not only because I see it,

 

but because by it I see everything else.”

it can eventually cause a hurricane in another.

The Mind

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell,
a Hell of Heaven.          John Milton (1609-1674)

 

A Noble Theme

October 31, 2017 jakin7

My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.  Psalm 45:1

I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.  Matthew 5:18

But it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.   Luke 16:17

 

 

Compelled

we must lose the supporting cork belt
that we may be compelled to trust
ourselves to the buoyant wave.
we must descend into the darksome
glen, that we may test for ourselves
the reliability of the staff and the rod
which before we may have considered
as superfluities or as ornaments.     unknown

Soul to the Universe

October 18, 2016 jakin7

Music is a moral law.
It gives soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
a charm to sadness,
gaiety and life to everything.
It is the essence of order
and lends to all that is good
and just and beautiful.
