• “Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don’t wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work – to wake people up.” – Catherine Booth

    What a great life and testament? Despite her handicap, she knew that life was a gift and God's grace to her. Her labor for the Lord was not to build up personal merit but to give thanks. I will reference her in a sermon on 9/25/2022 when the theme is "Evangelical hymns of the Anglical Communion." Thank you, Charlotte. Praying for the repose of your eternal life. Amen.

Verse of the Day

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. — Isaiah 53:5-6 (NKJV)
