Do not procastinate
Proverbs 27:1

Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

This directive concerns boasting about what we will do tomorrow, when we should be seeking how to do those things today. The proverb is less about boasting per se, although no wise person will not boast save in Christ Jesus (Romans 2:17; Galations 6:14), but rather its saying; look at me, I've no need to achieve such-a-such today, for I will do it tomorrow — its about procrastination.

The foundation truth is true wisdom is not founded on a future that may never come, or an event that may never occur. On on the other hand we cannot dwell on the past. While we have today, we must busy outselves and live and act and leave nothing undone which can be done today.

For the unbeliever, this is an imperative: salvation from the wrath of God and its enevidablt consequence of Hell. Salvation is offered today—now is the day of salvation. And for believers consider how many have been lost forever by procrastination, by thinking a more convenient time would come.

Hymn
Trusting Jesus

1. Simply trusting ev'ry day,
Trusting thro' a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting him whate'er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

2. Brightly does His Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

3. Singing if my way is clear,
Praying if the path be drear;
If in danger for Him call;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.


4. Trusting Him while life shall last,
Trusting Him till earth be past;
Till within the jasper wall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Guide me, O my great Jehovah
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and clou...

Hymn
I know whom I have believed
I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own. Refrain But I know Whom I have believèd,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day. I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impar.

Turn Back
Turn, O backsliding children, said the Lord to the house of Israel,… all of them were children by national adoption, and some by special grace, and yet "backsliders", O monstrous ingratitude! "backsliders", and yet "children", still the relation continues. O marvellous grace! God's own children may backslide, and often do; either in...

The Lord's Supper
The simplest statement of the benefit which a truehearted communicant may expect to receive from the Lord's Supper, is the strengthening and refreshing of our souls--clearer views of Christ and His atonement, clearer views of all the offices which Christ, fills as our Mediator and Advocate, clearer views of the complete redemption Christ ha...

Sin that is forgiven.
If we have committed sin, which is judged according to the light, and the sin is confessed, in that the will no longer takes part in the sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all sin. However, on the other hand if we say we have not sinned, it indicates that there is no truth in us, because we have no idea of re...

Assurance of Safety given by Jesus Christ
This special intercession of the Lord Jesus is one grand secret of the believer's safety. He is daily watched, and thought for, and provided for with unfailing care, by One whose eye never slumbers and never sleeps. Jesus is "able to save them to the uttermost who come unto God by Him, because He ever lives to make intercession for them." (...

But now is Christ risen from the dead
"But now is Christ risen from the dead."—1 Corinthians 15:20.

The whole system of Christianity rests upon the fact that "Christ is risen from the dead;" for, "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain: we are still in our sins." The divinity of Christ finds its surest proof in His resurrection, s.

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
What a wonderful remark; what awful consequences. When read alone, it is truly a wonderful remark, but when read in the context of when it was spoken, it clearly shows the true horrific state of affairs this earth was in - a state of affairs equal to today. Only Noah found grace in the eyes of our Lord - and no-one else had! Noah was saved,...

Humility requires growing downward
Charles Simeon, a minister from Scotland, was powerfully effective, writes Alistair Begg. He goes on and says: "There were correctives in Simeon’s life that came from all kinds of sources. John Thornton, who I think was the church warden in his time, wrote on one occasion to his vicar, 'Watch continually over your own spirit, and do all in .
