• HAVE YOU NOTICED...that the world has gone slightly crazy? Do you realize that it won't reset itself back to "normal"?

    It's time to get the next generation, especially the young men, to understand the times and act accordingly. If you have sons or grandsons, you might want to have a chat with them. Here's a poem I wrote this morning to explain...

    WAKE UP MY SON

    Wake up my son, your time is now,
    the world’s begun to burn
    Your father’s strength is fading
    so, you must take your turn

    There’s no more time for sleeping
    There’s no more time to waste
    There’s no more time to sit around
    There’s no more time to play

    So break away from foolish things
    And break your remote control
    The madness just outside your door
    has come to take your soul

    Your age it does not matter
    Each man has work to do
    It takes both strength and wisdom
    to see this challenge through

    You see while we were sleeping
    Or wasting precious time
    The fools stepped into places
    where they captured feeble minds

    They spoke from golden podiums
    The media was all theirs
    They lied, and tried to con us all
    But many never cared

    Their words were sweet and lofty
    Their deeds were black as night
    So many failed to understand
    that they were in a fight

    Today the battle’s not for gold
    The war’s not over soil
    Instead, the evil goal’s to grab
    Many hearts and minds to spoil

    So now’s the time to stand up straight
    And answer God’s great call
    Now’s the time to speak your mind
    and save others from the fall

    Your nation is in peril
    And so’s your way of life
    The lazy think it’s easier
    to just avoid the strife

    But let this old man warn you
    Please hear my strongest call
    You are close to losing everything
    Your wall’s about to fall

    Your duties they are known to God
    His call to you is sure
    Put down all your distractions
    And make your heart more pure

    Just ask the Lord for favor
    Just ask the Lord for power
    Just ask him for direction
    In this, your finest hour

    Don’t wonder if he’s called you
    Don’t shrink from his command
    His call’s to each and every
    one that he created ‘man’

    So, wake up my son, your time is now
    The world’s begun to burn
    Your fathers’ strength is now all yours
    So, you must take your turn

  • "I soon felt that strange and mysterious sensation which is awakened in the mind when looking down from lofty hilltops, and now I was able to do so without any feeling of nervousness, having fortunately hardened myself to that kind of sublime contemplation. I wholly forgot who I was, and where I was. I became intoxicated with a sense of lofty sublimity, without thought of the abysses into which my daring was soon about to plunge me."

  • Isaiah 2
    King James Version
    2 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

    2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

    3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

    4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

    5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

    6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

    7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

    8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

    9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

    10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.

    11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

    12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

    13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

    14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

    15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

    16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

    17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

    18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

    19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

    20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

    21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

    22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

    The world on fire

    ‘Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.’ 2 Peter 3:11
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Psalm 90:1–17

    I saw yesterday with much solemnity of mind the spot where the Bishop of Winchester met with sudden death. A cross is cut in the turf to mark the place. The spot is in the midst of the most lovely scenery conceivable. I have often walked hard by, full of delight at the fair prospect. It is a spot too fair to be darkened by so dark a cloud; death seems hardly congruous with the beauty which everywhere charms the eye.

    I could only imagine, if anyone knew that he should die at that moment, what would be his conversation. What would be the conversation of a man of God riding over the downs, who expected to die in the valley below? Such ought to be our constant conversation. We should live always as if we might die in a moment. Mr. Wesley once said, ‘Now, if I knew I should die tomorrow morning, I would do exactly what I have planned to do. I should take the class-meeting at such an hour, preach at such an hour and be up at such a time in the morning to pray.’ That good man’s life was spent in prospect of sudden departure, and it was therefore active and holy. Is ours the same?

    The motive for holiness becomes stronger still if the thought is not merely that I shall die, but that ‘all these things’ around me ‘shall be dissolved’. That breezy down, that towering hill, yonder lofty trees, this overhanging cliff, these rich meadows, the ripening harvest, all will in a moment be in a blaze. Am I ready to be caught away to be with my Lord in the air? Or shall I be left to perish amidst the conflagration? How ought I to live? How ought I to stand as it were on tip-toe, ready when he shall call me, to be away up into the glory, far off from this perishing world!

    FOR MEDITATION: ‘Prepare to meet thy God’ (Amos 4:12); it may happen out of the blue (Luke 12:40). Peter presumed he was ready before he was (Luke 22:33–34), but Paul knew when he was ready (Acts 21:13).

    The royal prerogative

    See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal.’ Deuteronomy 32:39
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Isaiah 44:6–20

    There is only one God: Jehovah is his name—the ‘I AM’. That one God will not endure a rival. Why should he? He made all things and sustains all things. Should a creature that his own hands have made set up in rivalry with him? If it be a great man like Nebuchadnezzar who says, ‘Is not this great Babylon, that I have built?’ God will send him to grass among the bullocks and make him to know that no man is great in the sight of God.

    What a provocation it must be to God to see men bowing down before idols fashioned by their own hands! What a degradation to man that he should worship gold, silver, wood or stone; but what a grievous dishonour to the great God of all! And it seems to me to be the worst of all dishonours when God sees the image of his own dear Son made into an idol, and the representation of the cross, on which redemption was made, lifted on high that before it men may prostrate themselves in worship. This must touch his sacred soul and vex him even to the uttermost, for God is God alone and beside him there is none else: his glory will he not give to another, neither his praise to graven images.

    The Lord says, ‘I, even I.’ That ‘I’ is so great that it fills all places, and, therefore, there can be no room for another. ‘I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me.’ In another place he says, ‘I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me.’ Oh to have such lofty thoughts of God that we can have no consideration for anything that would rob him of the glory which is so exclusively his own. May we burn with a holy jealousy which abhors the idea of a rival god, and casts the name of Baal out of its mouth with utter loathing.

    FOR MEDITATION: ‘Jealous’ is not only a description of God; it is also his name (Exodus 34:14)! His righteous jealousy is rightly aroused by man’s worship of idols (Exodus 20:4–5) and false gods (Deuteronomy 6:14–15; Joshua 24:19–20). Even if you feel that you are not in danger of doing this, remember that God is also jealous when we fall in love with the world (James 4:4–5).

  • 15 JUNE (1876)

    Good cheer for outcasts

    ‘He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.’ Psalm 147:2
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Psalm 40:1–17

    If Jesus Christ received some of us when we felt ourselves to be outcasts, how we ought to love him! It does you good to look back ‘to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged’. We get to be very top-lofty at times, my brethren. We are wonderfully big, are we not? Are we not experienced Christians now? Why, we have known the Lord these five-and-twenty years. Dear me, how important we are! Perhaps we are deacons of churches, or, at any rate, we have a class in the Sunday-school, and we pray in the prayer-meeting: considerable importance attaches to us, and we are high and mighty on that account.

    I have heard say of a man worth his thousands that once he had not a shirt to his back, and, if he recollected from what he sprang, he would not carry his head so high. I do not see much in that, but I do see something in this—if we recollected the time when we ‘were dead in trespasses and sins’, when we had not a rag to cover us, when we were under God’s frown and heirs ‘of wrath, even as others’, if we recollected our lost and ruined state by nature, I am sure that we should not lift our heads so very loftily, and want to have respect paid to us in the church, or think that God ought not to deal so very hardly with us, as if we had cause for complaint. Dear friends, let us remember what we used to be, and that will keep us low in our own esteem. But how it will fire us with zeal to remember from what a depth he has lifted us up. Did Jesus save such a wretch as I was? Then for him would I live and for him would I die. This ought to be the utterance of us all. We ought to live in that spirit. God grant we may!

    FOR MEDITATION: When Christians begin to glory in their own characters and achievements, they are thinking like unbelievers and forgetting the ground on which they stand before God (Ephesians 2:8–9). The apostle Paul knew how to burst the pride of arrogant Christians. Consider some of the questions he asked one proud church (1 Corinthians 4:6–7; 5:1–2, 6). He had to remind them of the various pits from which God had lifted them (1 Corinthians 1:26–29; 6:9–11).

I do not see much in that, but I do see something in this—if we recollected the time when we ‘were dead in trespasses and sins’, when we had not a rag to cover us, when we were under God’s frown and heirs ‘of wrath, even as others’, if we recollected our lost and ruined state by nature, I am sure that we should not lift our heads so very loftily, and want to have respect paid to us in the church, or think that God ought not to deal so very hardly with us, as if we had cause for complaint. Dear friends, let us remember what we used to be, and that will keep us low in our own esteem. But how it will fire us with zeal to remember from what a depth he has lifted us up. Did Jesus save such a wretch as I was? Then for him would I live and for him would I die. This ought to be the utterance of us all. We ought to live in that spirit. God grant we may! FOR MEDITATION: When Christians begin to glory in their own characters and achievements, they are thinking like unbelievers and forgetting the ground on which they stand before God (Ephesians 2:8–9). The apostle Paul knew how to burst the pride of arrogant Christians. Consider some of the questions he asked one proud church (1 Corinthians 4:6–7; 5:1–2, 6). He had to remind them of the various pits from which God had lifted them (1 Corinthians 1:26–29; 6:9–11). C. H. Spurgeon and Terence Peter Crosby, 365 Days with Spurgeon (Volume 4), (Leominster, UK: Day One Publications, 2007), 177.
