From Psalm 51:10-12: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”

The law is the only protection of the weak, and the only efficient restraint upon the strong.

The man who can look upon a crisis without being willing to offer himself upon the altar of his country is not for public trust.

Milliard Fillmore (188-1874) was the 13th President of the United States. As Vice President, he ascended to the Presidency upon the death of President Zachary Taylor.

Refresh your commitment today to test everything by the Word of God. The surest defense against spiritual deception is knowledge of spiritual truth.

From 1 Peter 5:8-9: “Discipline yourselves; keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”

Charles Hodge Quote

Posted on May 17, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

When we are weak, then are we strong. When most empty of self, we are most full of God.

From Ephesians 3:17-19: “And that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Charles Hodge (1797-1878) was an American theologian and Christian teacher.

Charles Swindoll Quote

Posted on May 5, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

With each new dawn there is delivered to your door a fresh, new package called “today.” All the grace we need will be supplied by Him as we live out that day.

From Psalm 9:10: “And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

William Tyndale Quote

Posted on May 1, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

To have a faith, therefore, or a trust in anything, where God hath not promised, is plain idolatry, and a worshipping of thine own imagination instead of God.

From Deuteronomy 5:8: “You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.”

William Tyndale (c. 1494 – c.1536) was an English Biblical scholar and linguist. He became a leading figure in the Protestant Reformation, and his writings were influenced by the thoughts shared from fellow reformer Martin Luther.

God’s Quiet Place

Posted on April 19, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

From Luke 6:12: “Now during those days He went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.”

Needing to rest awhile

Overwhelmed, countless thoughts

Looking for special place

Mind bound in endless knots

Seeking time for prayer

Faced with fleeting choices

Searching for quiet place

Away from past voices

Hiking to mountaintop

Filled with Spirit’s insight

Trusting every new step

God welcomes with His light

Being alone with God

Bottled up words speak out

Praying for hours on end

Life’s course now comes about

Hearing from God’s wisdom

Blessed words offer grace

Quelling battle within

Always, God’s quiet place

From Luke 5:16: “Meanwhile, He would slip away to deserted places and pray.”
