"You have to work hard to offend Christians. By nature, Christians are the most forgiving, understanding, and thoughtful group of people I've ever dealt with. They never assume the worst. They appreciate the importance of having different perspectives. They're slow to anger, quick to forgive, and almost never make rash judgments or act in anything less than a spirit of total love . . . No, wait--I'm thinking of Labrador retrievers!" David Learn, 1998

NEW YEAR: NEW MERCIES!

This post is adapted from theologyforgirls.com.  Plagiarism is the sincerest form of appreciation.
"Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!"

    "Sing a hymn newly composed, for you have now a new knowledge of God.   He is ever new in his manifestations; his mercies are new every morning; his deliverances are new in every night of sorrow; let your gratitude and thanksgivings be new also. . .
     "Our singing should be 'unto the Lord';  the songs we sing should be of him and to him, 'for of him, and to him, and through him are all things.' . .  Our new songs should be devised in Jehovah's honour; indeed all our newest thoughts should run towards him.  Never can we find a nobler subject for a song than the Lord, nor one more full of fresh matter for a new song, nor one which we are personally so much bound to sing as a new song 'unto the Lord.' "  ~  Charles Spurgeon 

             "It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, 
                                  because His compassions fail not. 
           They are new every morning: great is Your faithfulness."  
                                            Lamentations 3:22-23


  Happy New Year!
