Crumbs from "Our Daily Bread"

"Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no talebearer, strife ceases." (Proverbs 26:20)
The tongue can spread suspicion,
And reputations steal;
But when the Lord controls our tongue,
Its words will soothe and heal. -Sper

"Gentiles,...although not having the law, are a law to themselves,..their conscience also bearing witness." (Romans 2:14-15)
Sometimes there's just one step to go
Before we yield to sin,
But God will help us to say no
If we trust His power within. -Hess
Only Jesus' blood can wash away the stain of sin.
"Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. (Psalm 119:97)
O Send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me,
That He may touch my eyes and make me see;
Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed I see Thee, Lord. -Groves
A well-read Bible is the companion of a well-fed soul.
"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." (2 Peter 1:2)

The blood of Jesus whispers peace within;
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?

Who strive for worldly fame;
It lies instead with those who choose
To serve in Jesus' name. -D. De Haan

"The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
Sufficient is the blood of Christ
To cleanse us from all sin,
But daily we must claim its power
To keep us pure within. -D. De Haan
Jesus takes our sin and gives us His salvation.
"It is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead." (Acts 10:42)

Neutral you cannot be;
Someday your heart will be asking,
"What will He do with me?" -Simpson
Everyone must choose-Christ or condemnation.
