“To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal and are all the more fools for what they know. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. Christ’s teaching will make him wise of thought, and wise of heart. All you want to know of God, of sin, of life, of death, of eternity … Christ has either personally, or by his Spirit in the word of God, taught you.”
C.H. Spurgeon, The Fourfold Treasure, 1871
“Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the day; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can’t see and doesn’t know anything about. The Lord gives his people everlasting joy when they walk in obedience to him.”
D.L. Moody, Secret Power, 1881
Tell me the old, old story
of unseen things above,
of Jesus and His glory,
of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply,
as to a little child;
for I am weak and weary,
and helpless and defiled.
Tell me the story slowly,
that I may take it in,
that wonderful redemption,
God's Remedy for sin!
Tell me the story often,
or I forget so soon!
The early dew of morning
has passed away at noon!
Tell me the story softly,
with earnest tones and grave;
remember, I'm the sinner
whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the story always,
if you would really be,
in any time of trouble,
a comforter to me.
Katherine Hankey, The Old Old Story, 1886
