WORD

Wine is a mocker,

strong drink is raging: and

whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.  Pro 20.1

Brother, Brother

Love looks beyond the faults of a Brother,

has patience with the “faultless” Brother 🙂 or :(,

and prays for the false Brother.

Achan

 

Ole Achan saw, coveted, took

Becoming a bad name in the Book

Coveting is against God’s law

Though the sin was not that he saw

Watch – Do not take that second look.   (Jos 7)

Fanny Crosby – converted to Christ

ON THIS DATE

Fanny Crosby was dramatically converted to Christ 11/20/1850 at Methodist revival meeting.

She had been religious before but said thd following about her experience “The Lord planted a star in my life and no cloud has ever obscured the light.”  (Remember – these are the words of a blind lady.)

It would be about fifteen years before she started writing hymn texts.  After she began it seems she “could not stop.” J  Some counts of her hymn texts go as high as 8000.  They include “Rescue the Perishing” “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross” “All the Way My Savior Leads Me” and “Saved By Grace” to name a few.  Fanny was born in Putnam County, NY (3/24/1820), and died at Bridgeport, CT (2/12/1915).

Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain

This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior, all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior, all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
