Instead of considering those women who are most physically attractive, and then trying to restrain your flesh so as to give at least some thought to Christian character, you ought first to focus on those women who give evidence of fearing the Lord. Feminine wiles are deceiving, says God’s Word, and men easily fall prey to this very thing. Therefore, a wise Christian man will protect himself from the entrapment of beauty and will desire above all else a godly, growing Christian woman (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

Lord Is It I

Lord Is It I

“Lord, is it I?”

As on life’s road I rush along,

Seeking its pleasure with the throng,

Looking for fun and flattery,

Have you forgotten–Calvary?

Pitiful tribes in darkness grope,

Never have heard of Christ, their Hope;

More fancy churches, this the plea,

While I’m forgetting–Calvary.

Houses and cars and freezers fine,

While hungry orphans wait in line,

Rice in their bowls they cannot see

While I’m forgetting–Calvary.

Lepers, unwanted, homeless roam,

While faithless stewards rest at home;

Sad is their plight; their agony,

While I’m forgetting–Calvary.

Plenty for self from God’s own store,

Deaf is my ear as cries outpour,

Calloused my heart, 0, can it be

That I’ve forgotten–Calvary?

Treasures of earth will soon decay,

Nothing above I’ve stored away;

Wood, hay, and stubble, woe is me,

If I’ve forgotten–Calvary.

“Whose shall these THINGS be”

when I’m gone?

Things I have set my heart upon;

Naught in my hand to offer Thee–

LORD, I’ve forgotten–Calvary!

–Mable F. Miller
