"It Is Of The LORD's Mercies That We Are Not Consumed."

The base cares and the petty 
enjoyments of the present world
(
John Angell James)

Sin is raging all around us! 


Satan is busy in the work 

of destruction!

Men are dying!

Souls are every moment 

departing into eternity!

Hell is enlarging her mouth, 

and multitudes are continually 
descending to torments which 
knows no mitigation and no end!

How astounding is it sometimes 

to ourselves, that, the base cares 
and the petty enjoyments of 
the present world should have 
so much power over us, as to retard 
us in our heavenward course, and 
make us negligent and indolent, 
heedless and forgetful.

Time is short!

Life is uncertain!

Death 
is at hand!

Immortality 
is about to swallow 

up our existence in eternal life--
or eternal death!

Heaven expanding above us!

Hell is yawning beneath us!

Eternity is opening before us!


"It is of the LORD's mercies that we are 
not consumed, because HIS compassions 
fail not. They are new every morning:
great is THY Faithfulness." 
(Lamentations 3:22,23)
