C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"He answered him to never a word."-Matthew 27:14
    
    He had never been slow of speech when He could bless the sons of men, but He would not say a single word for Himself. "Never man spake like this Man," and never man was silent like Him. Was this singular silence the index of His perfect self-sacrifice? Did it show that He would not utter a word to stay the slaughter of His sacred person, which He had dedicated as an offering for us? Had He so entirely surrendered Himself that He would not interfere in His own behalf, even in the minutest degree, but be bound and slain an unstruggling, uncomplaining victim? Was this silence a type of the defenselessness of sin? Nothing can be said in palliation or excuse of human guilt; and, therefore, He who bore its whole weight stood speechless before His judge. Is not patient silence the best reply to a gainsaying world? Calm endurance answers some questions infinitely more conclusively than the loftiest eloquence. The best apologists for Christianity in the early days were its martyrs. The anvil breaks a host of hammers by quietly bearing their blows. Did not the silent Lamb of God furnish us with a grand example of wisdom? Where every word was occasion for new blasphemy, it was the line of duty to afford no fuel for the flame of sin. The ambiguous and the false, the unworthy and mean, will ere long overthrow and confute themselves, and therefore the true can afford to be quiet, and finds silence to be its wisdom. Evidently our Lord, by His silence, furnished a remarkable fulfillment of prophecy. A long defence of Himself would have been contrary to Isaiah's prediction. "He is led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth." By His quiet He conclusively proved Himself to be the true Lamb of God. As such we salute Him this morning. Be with us, Jesus, and in the silence of our heart, let us hear the voice of Thy love.

All Things Possible by Mark Schultz

Ok so I've been putting it off and putting it off so now is the time to mean business.  I've had this cd for some time and just keep telling myself I'll get the review posted.  So I decided that there is no good time like the present.....

If you like contemporary Christian music then Mark Schultz "All things Possible" would probably make a hit with you.  Myself I'm not too into Contemporary Music but I'm on the older side.  The younger crowd will probably love this cd.  My teen daughter didn't seem to mind it as we listened to the cd.  I'm sure my 20 year old would approve of it also.  There was one song I thought ended very abruptly though I told my daughter "well, that just ended like now."  there was no leading up to it or nothing.  So we checked to see the title of the song and it was Be Still.  Kind of had to laugh I said, "Well, it definitely got still."  I think the title song was one of my faves on the cd "All Things Possible".

Here is s listing of the songs on the CD:
  • All Things Possible
  • It is Well
  • One Day
  • I Gave Up 
  • Love Walked In 
  • More to You
  • Be Still
  • What do you give a King
  • Haven't Met you Yet
  • I will Love you Still

A copy of this CD was provided by the Media Collective in exchange for my honest review.
