Some Quotes Worth Pondering . . .

"We Will Not Sit Down"

God sent Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoint a king for Israel from among his sons. Jesse made several of his sons to pass before the aging prophet. "And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these." He then asked Jesse if these were all his sons. Jesse said, "There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep". To which the prophet replied: "Send and, fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither" (1 Samuel 16:11).

This last statement indicates something grand and noble about Samuel; God sent him on a mission, and he would not rest until it was accomplished. It would also be a grand and noble thing today, if those of us who seek to serve the Lord manifested the same attitude toward our duty to God. Too many of us have sat down before the job was finished and as a result the day is far spent and much work is yet undone.

Oh for servants of the Lord like Samuel who refuse to take their ease until His work is done!

Standing Alone

In the days of wicked king Ahab, the nation of Israel had drifted far from God. They had embraced idolatry and at the center of that apostasy stood 450 prophets of Baal, boldly supported by the king and queen. Against them stood one faithful man — Elijah. On Mount Carmel, Elijah asked the people a piercing question: “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him” (1 Kings 18:21). Sadly, they answered him not a word.

What a lonely position Elijah was in - one man standing for truth while hundreds opposed him. Yet Elijah was right, and the multitude was wrong. When God sent fire from heaven to consume Elijah’s sacrifice, it became unmistakably clear that truth is not determined by majority opinion. God’s faithful servant stood alone, but he stood with God.

This has often been the case for God’s faithful servants. Noah preached righteousness while the whole world ignored God (Genesis 6:5-8). Micaiah stood alone against 400 flattering prophets who told king Ahab only what he wanted to hear (1 Kings 22:6-14). Jeremiah was mocked and persecuted for declaring God’s word to a rebellious nation (Jeremiah 20:1-2,7-9). The ultimate example is that of our Lord Jesus who was rejected by many who loudly professed devotion to God.

Faithful Christians should not be surprised when the same thing happens today. Those who insist on teaching the pure truth of God’s word are often criticized, isolated, and misrepresented — not only by the world, but even by their own brethren. Paul warned Timothy that “the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3). Truth makes people uncomfortable when they are determined to follow their own desires instead of God’s will.

One danger should be noted. We must never assume that being unpopular automatically means we are faithful. But when Christians humbly and lovingly teach the truth of God’s word, opposition should not discourage them. Jesus said, “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you… for my sake” (Matthew 5:11).
Elijah once thought he was completely alone, but God assured him there were still seven thousand in Israel who had not bowed to Baal (1 Kings 19:18). Likewise today, faithful servants of God are never truly alone. Most importantly, the Lord stands with those who stand for His truth.

We must never compromise God’s word for the sake of acceptance or popularity. The majority crowd may be large, loud, and even appear ‘religious’ — but truth still belongs to God and His faithful servants. Think!

False Standards

I often hear people trying to establish right and wrong based on the wrong standard. Here are some examples:
• Our Parents (Mt. 10:21, 34-37). As much as we should love and respect our parents, we cannot establish right and wrong on the basis of our parents alone.
• Our Conscience (Ac. 23:1; 26:9-11; 1 Tim. 1:12-13). Even though our conscience can be useful, we may still be wrong even though our conscience doesn't bother us. Paul had followed his conscience even when he was a persecutor.
• Emotions & Feelings (Pr. 14:12; 28:26; Jer. 10:23). Just because something "feels" right to you, that doesn't necessarily make it right. Sin can even "feel" right.
• The Majority (Mt. 7:13-14). Don't ever think that something is right simply because most believe it. The majority is headed to destruction.
• Preachers & Religious Leaders (2 Cor. 11:13-15; 2 Pet. 2:1-3). Your preacher may be a great guy, but that doesn't mean he is right.
• Tradition (Mt. 15:1-9; Col. 2:8). Truth is not • established by how long something has been around. Sin has been around a long time, too.
• The Good End (Rom. 3:8). The end doesn't always justify the means. Something is not right just because we may think it is causing "good".

What is the "RIGHT" way to tell right from wrong? God's WORD, and HIS word ALONE (Jn. 12:48).

When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

We love to sing, “When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.” Those words express confidence — not doubt and uncertainty. And rightly so, because God wants us to have confidence about our salvation. John said we can know we have eternal life (1 John 5:13).

But we need to keep that confidence in balance. It must not turn into complacency. Paul warned, “Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12). Our assurance is not based on emotional feelings or past accomplishments, but on continuing to walk in the light and obey the Lord (1 John 1:8-10).

The hymn also expresses a second vital truth — determination. “Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun… let us talk of all His wondrous love and care.” This is the language of commitment. Jesus said, “He who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). We don’t quit. We don’t drift. We stay at it.

So when we sing, “When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there,” let it be more than just familiar words. Let it reflect a life that is trusting God, obeying His will, and pressing forward with unwavering purpose — all the way to the end.

How the Ads Should Read

If the places that sell whiskey would tell the truth in their advertising, the ads would read something like this: "Wanted -- 100 new customers as most of our old ones have dropped out. 10 committed su***de; 20 are in jail; 15 are in the poor house; 1 was executed for murder; 3 are in the mental hospital; and the rest are broke."

"We must have new customers -- young, fresh and strong for they will not live to stay with us long. Come to see us. We have brands that will cause you to disgrace your family, paralyze your mind, warp your body, and lose your friends.”

Consider this…

“Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease” (Proverbs 22:10).

Would my home, the place where I work, or the church where I am a member be more peaceful and harmonious if I were “cast out?” If I am a scoffing, murmuring, complaining scorner, they would be. Is it not a sad thought to think that life might be better for others if I were not present?

Bible Reading

Christians, do you read the Bible in your families every day? Do you read it in your closet every day? And do you read it not to quiet your conscience as a work of penance; but do you read it as a pleasure anxiously to be sought after? If you do, I need not tell you what utility, pleasure, and happiness is in the blessed employment. But if you do not, you may rest assured there is something greatly wrong, which, if it is not abandoned, subdued, or vanquished soon, will cause you sorrows, if not agonies, when you will be less able to conflict with them than at present. Resolve this moment, I pray you, that you will begin today to read the Bible, to enjoy God and Christ and the hope of immortality. "Let not mercy and truth forsake thee, bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thine heart; so shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man." Then will you say with Solomon, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding: for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared with her. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honor: her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." "Begin today: 'tis madness to defer." The religious world -- I mean the great majority of all professors -- are Bible neglecters. Their ignorance, prejudice, and error show it. I beseech you, daily, habitually, constantly, prayerfully read the Bible in its proper connections, and you will grow in grace as you grow in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord. The Lord will bless you, as he has said, in this deed. Read James 1:22-25, and may you prove it true!

God and Man

Remember that God sees the whole picture. He sees all the past; He sees all the present; and He has the power to see all the future. He can see the end from the beginning, and He knows the destiny of every person and the solution to every problem. He loves us and is always available to us, but He will force neither Himself nor His will upon us. As long as we live, we are allowed to choose. He is concerned about our true welfare and happiness - here and hereafter. With Him on our side every thing will turn out well (Romans 8:28,31); but if He must be against us, nothing will turn out right.

“I Lost It!”

I had it for a long time and used it all the time. But I never really thought much about it. It was just … there. Then one day, it was gone.

I looked everywhere. I checked all the usual spots. I retraced my steps. And as the search went on, something became very clear - I really needed that thing. What I had treated as unimportant suddenly seemed very valuable. But it was too late. I had lost it.

That happens more often than we’d like to admit. Not just with things - but with people: good friends, family, brothers and sisters in Christ. We assume those relationships will always be there. We fail to nurture them. We let little problems go unresolved. We don’t say the kind words that should be said.

God’s word urges us to be “kind… tenderhearted” (Ephesians 4:32). There’s a reason for that. Relationships don’t survive neglect.

But there’s something even more serious. Salvation can be lost the same way. Hebrews 2:3 warns about “neglecting” our salvation. Notice, it is not rejected - just neglected. This is manifested in: a little less prayer, a little less interest in God’s word, a little less commitment. And over time, something incredibly valuable can slip away. Don’t let that happen.

If you’ve ever said, “I lost it!” you know the regret that follows. Make sure you never have to say that about your soul. Think!
