Hudson Taylor: Saved By a Tract

Here is another story of what a tract can do from Moments with the Book and their little booklet “ Moments for You ”.    If you would like to read this on line you can go here . Gospel tracts have the amazing ability to deliver their message to many souls that the distributor of the tract will never even meet. Hudson Taylor, who was used of the Lord to reach countless souls in China, is an excellent example of this. One day while seeking something to read, Hudson turned over a basket of tracts in his father's library and selected one that looked interesting. While reading it he was struck with the phrase, "The finished work of Christ." Immediately the words attracted his attention. "What was finished?" he asked himself. Reading further, the tract explained the finished work as "a full and perfect atonement and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world." Then Hudson thought, "If the whole work was finished on the cross of Calvary, and the whole...

Appropriate Attire

I found this little thought on the Biblical Family Ministries Site.  Just something to think about. Appropriate attire in court Here is a thought from Deleware Superior Court Judge, William Whitham Jr. He said, “Courts are a place where serious business is conducted, and that demands appropriate attire. We’re not out to treat people as school kids, but we do expect if you come to court, you need to treat it with the appropriate respect and dignity it should deserve due to the occasion.” Wow! I wonder where the Judge goes to church. Does it amaze you that the world gets it, but too often Christians do not? What happened to respect and dignity in the worship of Almighty God?

None in Hell

"Tracts everywhere!" said a young man with a sneer as a Christian handed him a gospel tract one afternoon. "No," said the tract distributor quietly, "there will be none in hell," and passed on. God fastened that single sentence in that young man's mind and he could not get rid of it. "None in hell!" seemed to echo in his ears every time he saw a tract, and ultimately he was converted. This little story was taken from the site Moments with the Book and their little booklet “ Moments for You ”.  Their booklet this month has several little stories about tracts and how profitable they are.  If you would like to read this on line you can go here . This is also a great place to order some quality tracts.   I will try to post a few more of these stories on my blog also.

Trials

“Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to His feet Lay me low, and keep me there.” ~Spurgeon "Prayer makes the darken'd cloud withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love; Brings every blessing from above." ~Spurgeon

Scripture and a Snapshot

I really enjoy looking at this site and seeing all the different pictures and the Scriptures that have been chosen to go with them. Here is my picture for the week. It was taken in South Carolina, where we did an easy hike to Twin Falls. I am reminded of so many things in this picture: God did so many things for His children. Even when they murmured and complained so much He provided for them in the wilderness. He loved and cared for them over and over. Amazingly, He is still the same today. He loves and cares for us and meets our needs over and over, often in spite of our discontent and complaining. God is my rock – He is my firm foundation. Psalms 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. He is the rock that will never crumble; His work is always perfect. Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just an...

My Valentine Weekend

A wonderful weekend! The weekend was spent  with my valentine of 35 years! – my hubby. We had our first date on Valentine’s Day 35 years ago. We were married 1 year and 2 mo. later. We spent this past weekend together.  We visited Twin Falls in South Carolina.  This is a easy hike to a pretty waterfalls.  The weather was warm and so pretty which made it so enjoyable. We enjoyed scenic driving on back roads. The next day was a contrast as we drove to Charlotte to the IMAX theatre to view “The Alps” It was fun and good and did not have too much garbage about “millions and millions” of years ago. We ended with a quiet evening at home talking and sharing.  God has been so good to us and His blessings cannot be numbered.  So thankful for this 35 years.
