You accepted the real Saviour for your real sin, and you believed in the real death of Christ for you: are you going to run back? Will you doubt your Lord after this? God grant you may not; but, on the contrary, may you go on confirming the testimony of Jesus, and setting it to your seal again and again that God is true! Give glory to God by believing that what he has promised he is able also to perform. Never stagger at the promise through unbelief. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Christ Jesus, to the glory of God by us; wherefore, we set to our seal that God is true. I have done, when I have said just this. Avoid, dear hearers, anxiously, the double sin of unbelief. If you do not believe Jesus, you do not believe God. If you reject his Son, you reject himself. If you give the lie to the teaching of Christ, you give the lie to God. Flee from this deadly sin.
–Charles Spurgeon, “Christ’s Testimony Received”–

This is really good.
–J.B.–

I have not shunned to declare
unto you all the counsel of God.
–Acts 20:27 (KJV)–

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: but the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence
of the Gospel.
–Philippians 1:15-17 (KJV)–

The Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord
looketh on the heart.
–1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)–

How could you know
Running in circles
With your eyes wide open
It’s not enough for you to hear me say
Things don’t have to be this way

Mental assent will give you nothing
Bitterness can become your epidemic

Don’t let it go away
Only you can make this change
Delusion’s an epidemic
Your grip
Your grip is firm
Casting words into empty lakes

Would you rather be blind?
Would you rather be blind?

How could you know
Running in circles
With your eyes wide open

Your grip is firm
Casting words into empty lakes
An epidemic

Would you rather be blind?
Would you rather be blind?

Don’t let it go away
Only you can make this change

⁹ When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. ¹⁰ There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. ¹² For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. ¹³ You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. ¹⁴ For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you.
–Deuteronomy 18:9-14 (NKJV)–

Many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.

When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the Word of God with boldness.
–Acts 4:31 (KJV)–

He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
–Proverbs 15:32 (KJV)–

He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
–James 4:6-7 (KJV)–
