You do not have to like their way,
Nor how they waste life’s little day,
Nor agree as they hype the first of May,
You don’t have to like what they say,
To LOVE them.

…Beloved friends, the professing church of Christ stands in need of greater purification than it has yet attained to…there are many spots on her garments; she is defiled by the dust of the earth; and her garments are very much tattered. But when the professing church of Christ under every name, comes under the baptizing influence of the Holy Ghost, and comes to be led and guided in all things, by the uncompromising principle of life and light, then she will arise and shake her garments from the dust, then she will appear in her beauty, and there shall no more pass through her borders, the uncircumcised and the unclean.
– From Sermon by Joseph John Gurney, North Meeting-house, New Street (Philadelphia) First-day Afternoon, Second Month, Eighteenth, 1838. Hopper, Edward. Sermons and Prayers Delivered in the City of Philadelphia by Joseph John Gurney. Philadelphia: Kay & Brother, 1938.
…The guidance of the Spirit of truth, which leads into all truth and into all virtue, will never lead any man, either in opinion or practice to any thing which is Contrary to Holy Scripture.

…The Spirit of truth can never by any possibility contradict itself.
– From Sermon by Joseph John Gurney, North Meeting-house, New Street (Philadelphia) First-day Afternoon, Second Month, Eighteenth, 1838. Hopper, Edward. Sermons and Prayers Delivered in the City of Philadelphia by Joseph John Gurney. Philadelphia: Kay & Brother, 1938.
…The true reason, I believe, why so many who profess the name of Christ, are unwilling to be guided by the unflattering and uncompromising voice of the Spirit of God, which dictates a straight-forward course of unbending holiness, without turning to the right hand or to the left; they are displeased at the cross; they cannot bear the mortification of their heart’s lusts; the world, the world is their God; self is their idol; and they will not renounce the world; they will not renounce self, and walk in the narrow way.
– From Sermon by Joseph John Gurney, North Meeting-house, New Street (Philadelphia) First-day Afternoon, Second Month, Eighteenth, 1838. Hopper, Edward. Sermons and Prayers Delivered in the City of Philadelphia by Joseph John Gurney. Philadelphia: Kay & Brother, 1938.
…Though it is a narrow way, it is a way of peace.
– From Sermon by Joseph John Gurney, North Meeting-house, New Street (Philadelphia) First-day Afternoon, Second Month, Eighteenth, 1838. Hopper, Edward. Sermons and Prayers Delivered in the City of Philadelphia by Joseph John Gurney. Philadelphia: Kay & Brother, 1938.
We must follow him in the path of self-denial; we must follow him in his walk of holiness; we must follow him in his course of ever -abounding charity; we must, though at an immeasurable distance, imitate his patience, his meekness, his forbearance, his subjection to his Father’s will, his love for his enemies…if we would follow him and partake of his glory in the world of spirits.

Joseph John Gurney was born 8/2/1788.

Age (when it found time to begin),
Was like a point, point of a pen.
Later, age becomes a mere word,
Then words “bunched up,” as a full herd.
Soon age is its own paragraph;
(Do “aging” jokes now make you laugh?)
Age, in its swift moving old rage,
At present covers a full page.
Once a period? Now chapter!
Age keeps growing. What’s it after?
Age will soon more chapters complete;
On-rolling age knows no defeat.
Shortly, age will own the whole book;
It steals youth like no other crook.
Like a book, long ago loaned, Friend
Lastly come those sad words – “The End.”

Christ Comes
Posted in Jesus Christ, philosophy, poem, time, tagged charts border on, Christ came, friend, He came, He comes Friend, He’ll come as King, His faithful, knowing He would be "sold", may not fit our small mold, poor prophecy rhyme, promised of old, prophets told, Read the Book, remove the blindfold, return may not be “two-fold”, streets of gold, to break sin’s hold, warm or cold, your chart on March 17, 2009| Leave a Comment »
He came before, as promised of old.
Christ came before as prophets had told.
He came, knowing He would be “sold”
But He came to break sin’s hold!
He’ll come again as a King, bold.
Christ will come from streets of gold.
He’ll come again His faithful to enfold.
Oh, be hot, my Friend, not warm or cold.
His coming may not your chart uphold.
Christ’s coming may not fit our small mold.
His return may not be (as thought) “two-fold”
But He comes Friend. Be ready to behold.
Read the Book; make it your stronghold.
Do not this poor prophecy rhyme scold.
Reading helps to remove the blindfold.
Some charts border on the over-bold. – eab, 3/17/08
