There is one thing which seldom gets weaker through old age – that is, old Adam; he is as strong in his old age as he is in his young age, just as able to lead us astray when our head is covered with grey hairs, as he was in our youth. We have heard it said that growing in grace will make our corruptions less mighty; but I have seen many of God’s aged saints, and asked them the question, and they have said, “No,” their lusts have been essentially as strong, when they have been many years in their Master’s service, as they were at first, although more subdued by the new principle within. So far from becoming weaker, it is my firm belief that sin increases in power.

C.H. Spurgeon

A Message from our Provider:

“Some people look down on others because they don’t look UP to God.”

Truths about Friendship – From the life of Paul [in 2 Timothy 4]: 1. Paul believed in the critical importance of having close friends – verses 9, 21a. 2. Paul knew from personal experience the pain and anguish of loneliness – verses 10b, 11a, 16a. 3. Paul knew the importance of having the right kind of friends: be discerning and selective – verses 14-15. 4. Paul knew from personal experience the pain of betrayal and abandonment – verses 10a, 16. 5. Paul had learned the importance of forgiving those who had failed him. In fact, he believed in giving old friends who had blown it another chance – verses 11b, 16b. 6. As you grow old in life, in addition to friends, you need books! – verse 13. 7. In the final analysis, when everything is said and done, Jesus will always be your best friend; the only friend you can always count on – verses 17-18.
