I have just watched the service from Stonebriar Community church in Frisco, Texas, the Pastor is Chuck Swindoll, a wonderful man of God, with a wonderful ministry, you can get it up on You Tube. He preached on 'Growing old, and growing deeper', at the end of his message, he mentioned the cross, and living 24/7 in light of the cross. Just before he finished, he sang a verse of a well known hymn.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride. ( Words . Isaac Watts )
Chuck is an older man than I am, he would never win a singing contest, but I am sure God was pleased and accepted his song of praise. I have a very dear friend who was booked to speak to the young people in his church many years ago, he had a miserable cold, but God honoured the word he gave, to the salvation of those young people.
Fear not to enter His courts in the
slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou would'st
reckon as thine;
Truth in its beauty, and love in its
tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on His
shrine.
( Words . J.S.B. Monsell)
