“The system of civilized life which organizes itself without considering God.” (Studies in the Sermon on the Mount, Chambers, 59)

“We think poverty to be such a great evil-Why? Because it is so esteemed by others” (The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, Burroughs, 269)

“…we need to remind ourselves that money is non-moral. There is no inherent evil in it and no inherent good. The questions of right and wrong have to do with what we do with money….A ditchdigger may be miserly and covetous, while a wealthy stockbroker may be generous.” (The Sermon on the Mount, Hughes, 221)

1.O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace.
2.My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread thro’ all the earth abroad the honors of your name.
3.Jesus! The name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease,
‘tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life and health and peace.
4.He breaks the power of cancelled sin, he sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me.
5.To God all glory, praise and love be now and ever given, but saints below and saints above, the Church in earth and heaven.
O for a Thousand Tongues- Charles Wesley 1739
