The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell when the hands will stop At late or early hour. To lose one's wealth is sad indeed, To lose one's health is more. To lose one's soul is such a loss, That no man can restore.

Fifty-five or so people died while you read this short poem. Every hour around 7143 people go to meet their maker. You could have been among them. Sooner or later you will be. Are you ready?

Love may be blind, but hatred is far more so.

There was a manufacturer who made something. The product later became defective. The manufacturer put out a kit to overcome the fault.God is the manufacturer, we are the product. The repair kit is Jesus. We can choose to receive the repair kit or remain faulty. When the manufacturer does his call-back the defective products will be scrapped. Be a fixed product!

If you can't be thankful for what you receive, be thankful for what you escape.

Thoughts are seeds planted in the garden of your mind.
Unfortunately, the only plants that grow without us doing anything are WEEDS. In our mind we need to work and root out the weeds for they are things which crowd out good plants, and plant some good seed.

Philippians 4 : 8. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.

The kindness planned for tomorrow, doesn't count for today.

Friendship doubles your joys and divides your grief.

You want something from me. I want to give it to you but I require something from you. OBEDIENCE. This is a disobedient and sinful world. I say come out of her my people. Now go and sin no more. We are in the world but not of the world.

If there is one thing that we need in this world today, it is for people to stand in the gap.
What do we mean by this statement? Look around and see the conduct and condition of the society in which we live. Broken promises of love to wives, husbands, children, friends. We need to stand in the gap and show an example of love that this sin-sick world doesn't know, that they may ask "Why are you so different?" We should be able to show the love of God in all we do. Stand in the gap and pray that God will give you love and compassion for people.

The simple-but difficult-key to contentment is to realise that life is in its entirety is a gift, not a right.

There are so many times when we put the things of this world before Gods will. I know myself, so many times I've said `Hold on Lord, I'll just........'.I get called to prayer or to read the word but it's 'I'll just watch this' or 'I'll just do that' and before you know it it's way past bed time so you rush a prayer or a bit of bible reading out of a sense of duty because of the guilt your feeling. Where are the priorities in that? Where's the self sacrifice? Where's the putting God and the things of the Lord first? 1 John 2.15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world, the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does come not from the Father but from the world. The world and it's desires pass away but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

Real happiness is more of a habit than a goal, more of an attitude than an attainment.

You died to yourself at baptism but to what degree do we allow our old self to be resuscitated? The more of our self interests we obey the less of God we obey.
