“When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.” – Coffee News,  Vol 120:1

“Things, minus God, equal misery.” – Billy Graham

“Let the moment come when nothing is left but life, and you will find that you do not hesitate over the fate of material possessions.” – Eddie Rickenbacker

Have you ever heard that?

The Bible puts it this way:

“BEFORE HIS DOWNFALL A MAN’S HEART IS PROUD.” – Proverbs 18:12

“Near my home is a spring that never varies its flow at any season of the year. Floods may rage nearby, but it will not increase its flow. A long summer’s drought may come but it will not decrease. It is perennially and always the same. Such is the type of happiness for which we yearn – and it can be found in Christ.” – Billy Graham

I am glad I came across that today again. I remember reading that when I was a young Christian in Germany many, many years ago.

“Give God your best today; remember, delayed obedience is a brother of disobedience.”

When I read today “Don’t be caught Empty Handed!”, a German hymn came to my mind. The words are by C. C. Luther (About 1850).

The hymn has four verses .

1. “Muss ich gehn mit leeren Haenden, so vor meinem Herrn zu stehn?

Kann ich keine Seel ihm bringen, keine einz’ge Garbe sehn?”

4. “O ihr Christen, wirket emsig, wirket, wie der Tag noch winkt;

werbet Seelen fuer den Heiland, eh auch euch die Sonne sinkt.”

THE HYMN IS  A CALL TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT THE LORD, AND THE HYMN WARMS MY HEART! (Personal Evangelism!)
