Glory is essential to the Godhead, as light is to the sun.
We glorify God, by being contented in that state in which Providence has placed us.
Though nothing can add to God's essential glory, yet praise exalts Him in the eyes of others.
Let us lead Scripture lives. Oh that the Bible might be seen printed in our lives! Do what the Bible commands. Obedience is an excellent way of commenting upon the Bible.
What a mercy is it that God has not only acquainted us with what His will is, but that He has made it known by writing.
God knows whatever is knowable.
He is God, and has a sovereignty over us; therefore, as we received life from Him, so must we receive a law from Him, and submit to His will in all things.
Oh study the shortness of life and length of eternity!
God has decreed troubles for the church's good. The troubles of God's church is like the angel's troubling the water, which made way for healing His people.
I fear I shall not hold out. Christian, dost thou believe the power of God? Has not God preserved thy grace thus far? Mayest thou not set up thy Ebenezer? God has kept thy grace hitherto as a spark in the main ocean; and is He able to still keep it?
This divine worship God is very jealous of; it is the apple of His eye, the pearl of His crown; which He guards, as He did the tree of life, with cherubims and a flaming sword, that no man may come near it to violate it. Divine worship must be such as God Himself has appointed, else it is strange fire.
Thanksgiving does not stand in church-music, the melody of an organ, but rather in making melody in the heart to the Lord.

News of the Fellowship
We were being greatly blessed through the faithful ministry of Rev. John Thackway from Holywell at our 157th Church Anniversary. The three sermons are available on the Church website.
On May 28th, we set apart Mr. John Adamson as our Deacon. We thank God for guiding us as a congregation.
We continue to witness in the open air at Ringwood, and visit homes in Fordingbridge where gospels and tracts are distributed. Every home has received “The Gospel according to Luke”, and then further visited. We pray for the Lord’s assistance in visiting the whole town again, the Lord willing, in the next few years. The Proclaimer is currently being distributed around the local hamlets.
We are praying for our young people who come to Sabbath School, Thursday Club, Senior and Junior Clubs. We are very pleased to have at least six young people at our Sabbath Services. The monthly Ladies Coffee Mornings continue to be a great blessing.
We continue to support Stephen and Yolanda at the New Tribes Mission H.Q.

Letters of Samuel Rutherford
The letters of Samuel Rutherford have for long been the constant companion of the most devout minds. Therein we have a treasure, for they are an extolling of the virtues of Christ, and record of “love banquets with my royal, high, and princely King Jesus”. Yes, the glorious greatness of Emmanuel is his constant theme. His heart is full of Christ, and “out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth speaketh”. While love to God was the ruling affection of his heart, love to man breathes from every page of his spiritual letters.
In a short review only one example may be given. It is in a letter to John Gordon at Rusco, “Remember, many go far on and reform many things, and can find tears, as Esau did; and suffer hunger for truth, as Judas did; and desire the end of the righteous as Balaam did; and fight for the Lord, as Saul did; and desire the saints to pray for them, as Pharoah did; and prophesy of Christ, as Caiaphas did; and fear God`s judgements, as Ahab did; and put away idolatry, as Jehu did; and hear the Word of God gladly, as Herod did; and offer to follow Christ, as the servant did, (Matthew 8:19). “And yet”, Rutherford says, “all these are but like gold in colour only”.
“But let us try ourselves, and not rest till we be a step nearer to Christ. I commend Christ and His love to you in all things. Let Him have the flower of your heart and love”.

Meet The Puritans With A Guide To Modern Reprints by Joel R. Beeke and Randall J. Pederson
“Meet the Puritans” is a remarkable portrait gallery and a wonderful library of biographies. It is a reader's guide to great Christian literature and a record of an international movement of the Spirit. It is also a personal tutorial in Puritan history and theology, and much more.
The revival in interest and commitment to the truths of Reformed Theology over the last fifty years is due largely to the rediscovery of Puritan literature. “Meet the Puritans” introduces the leading figures of the Puritan movement in England, Scotland, Holland and America, with brief biographies and extracts from their works. All that you ever needed to know about the Puritans and Puritanism has come from the pens of these two distinguished scholars, Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson, who have given their lives to making the Puritan men and their works known and accessible to this present generation. Their work has been painstaking, thorough and comprehensive – a splendid achievement!

Religion Our True Interest by Thomas Watson
Here we have Thomas Watson's most helpful exposition of Malachi 3:16,17. We can do no better than to give the famous preacher's own outline:
,1, A Character of the Godly: i) In general, they were fearers of God; “they that feared the Lord”. ii) in special, a. “They spake often one to another”. b. “They thought upon God's Name”.
,2, The Good Effects of their Piety: i) The Lord regarded; “He hearkened and heard”. ii) He recorded it; “a book of remembrance was written”.
,3, He rewarded it; and this reward consisted in three things. i) God's owning them; “they shall be mine”. ii) God's honouring them; “in that day when I make up my jewels”. iii) God's sparing them; “I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him”.
Thomas Watson himself says that the main design of this excellent Scripture, is to encourage solid piety, and confute the atheists of this world, who imagine that there is no gain in godliness. Will the world, or men's lusts, give them such noble recompenses of reward, as God bestows upon His followers? It is an unhappiness that, in these luxuriant times, religion should for the most part run either into notion or ceremony.

Standing for Prayer Booklet
The practice has been retained in many congregations in Scotland and Ireland, but, sadly, in England, along with other departures, standing for prayer has for some time been discontinued. However, and thankfully, there are signs in some quarters of a growing concern for the purity of worship and, in consequence, there has been a return to the biblically recognized posture for public prayer. It is our prayer that other churches will follow the lead given and that soon we shall see a general reformation in this area.
This booklet is now available price £0.34 + P & P. For a copy, please contact Rev. Aaron J. Lewis at

The best news
News is now available to those who desire it, 24 hours of the day, seven days of the week, from all over the world. With the modern media, news travels very quickly, so fast, that much of what is received has only just happened. In a matter of hours the world was shocked by the terrorist attack on the twin towers, and recently, the disasters in Burma and China. The news spread, and as it did, be sure many prayers were uttered. News from, as it were, 'the home front', is, have you noticed, often shocking and disturbing. Much of the news, would you not agree, does not bring us joy.
The Bible, which is God's Word, brings us news, which does not bring joy to our hearts, for there is the news of sin, death, punishment and Judgment. However it also brings to us the best news that you will ever hear, for it tells us of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. In Luke 2: 10 & 11, the shepherds were told by the angel, ”Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Oh what wonderful news! By Jesus Christ, through what He has done, particularly suffering and dying on the cross because of sin, one can be saved, forgiven, have a life with God, and go to heaven, rather than that other place. Do you truly know this good news? In God's hymnbook in the middle of the Bible, we read this; “Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:” Psalm 89:15 Are you happy to hear the gospel? and then, further, are you truly happy, because you know the gospel? If not, look unto the Lord, repent of your sins and believe the Gospel. Jesus said, “Come unto me” He says that today, for He is alive, there in heaven above.

Sing Psalms unto Him Volume 1
Twenty Psalms to introduce young people to God's Hymnbook.
Dear young people,
The ‘Book of Psalms’ which is found in the middle of the Bible, is God’s hymnbook. The Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Saviour, sang from this hymnbook when He was here upon earth. On His own, with His disciples, and in those places of worship He attended, He from His heart sang these heavenly songs. He found much joy, pleasure, and comfort in doing so.
The Lord tells us we are to sing, and, further, that we are to sing Psalms. In Psalm 105: 2, we read "Sing unto Him, sing Psalms unto Him:"
The Lord Jesus Christ has left us an example. Follow the Saviour in the singing of Psalms, and discover the wonder, the depth, the comfort, and the great joy there is to be found in them.
These 20 Psalms are taken from God’s hymnbook and are put together in this little book to introduce, and encourage you to sing Psalms!
For copies of this book please contact Rev. Aaron J. Lewis at

Psalm 3
'Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching'.
Psalm 3
Metrical Psalter 1650:
1 O Lord, how are my foes increas'd?
against me many rise.
2 Many say of my soul, For him
in God no succour lies.
3 Yet Thou my shield and glory art,
th' uplifter of mine head.
4 I cry'd, and, from His holy hill,
the Lord me answer made.
5 I laid me down and slept; I wak'd;
for God sustained me.
6 I will not fear though thousands ten
set round against me be.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, my God;
for Thou my foes hast stroke
all on the cheek-bone, and the teeth
of wicked men hast broke.
8 Salvation doth appertain
unto the Lord alone:
Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore
Thy people is upon.
Notes by John Brown of Haddington:
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
Having beheld the royal dignity of my Redeemer, let me here behold the joy, the peace, the safety of the redeemed, amidst their distresses innumerable. Here David, driven from his holy capital and high throne, by his rebellious son Absalom, (1.) Complains to his God of the number and malice of his enemies, ver. 1-2. (2.) He encourageth himself in his God, as the source and subject-matter of his safety, joy, and honour, ver. 3. (3.) He recollects, how, on former occasions, his troubles had driven him to his prayers; how he had always found God ready to hear and grant his requests; how safe and easy he had lived under his protection; and how effectually he had broken the power and restrained the malice of his enemies, ver. 4-5, 7. ( 4.) Triumphantly trusting in God, as the salvation and blesser of his people, he silenceth all his fears, and pours forth his prayers for new protection and deliverance, ver. 6, 8.
Think, my soul, of Jesus, who, when bulls of Bashan compassed Him about, trusted in God, that He would deliver Him. In all my distress, let me pour out my heart before him, believing in him as God, even my God. Let me always rejoice in the great God my Saviour. Let me trust in Him at all times, that as He hath delivered, and doth deliver, so He will deliver me.

God’s hymnbook found in the middle of your Bible has a place within my life; the songs touch the heart and therefore cause me to value them as precious. May I ask, is it precious to you? You may of course read from it, but have you neglected to sing from it? Consider our Saviour sung from it here upon earth. He sung from it, because He loved it, was in full agreement with its place within the worship of God, and, further, desired to set you an example. These inspired songs were sung from His heart, and He knew great comfort and joy in singing them. My dear friends, He desires you, and wants you to sing from them. “Let me here thy voice”, Song of Solomon 2: 14.
Let every minister promote this glorious hymnbook. Let every church and home have a Psalter. Let these glorious Psalms, hymns and songs that we have in the Psalter, be sung with such freshness, and be heard from every Church and Chapel of this old country of ours! May God yet bless the cause of Psalmody in a great way, to the glory of His name, and to the blessing of His Church.

Quotations from "The Salt-cellars", C.H.Spurgeon
If Christ be so sweet to thee, sin will be so bitter to thee.
If Christ lights the candle, Satan cannot blow it out.
Jacob saw angels ascending and descending, but none standing still.
Jesus Christ is light to the eye, honey to the taste, music to the ears, and joy to the heart.
Jesus Christ to a believer is fairer than the fairest, sweeter than the sweetest, nearer than the nearest, dearer than the dearest, richer than the richest, and better than the best.
Jesus has many lovers of His crown, but few bearer of His cross.
Jesus lived that He might die, and died that we might live.
It is the devil’s masterpiece to make us think well of ourselves.
If you would know the heart of your sin, you must know the sin of your heart.
If you are God’s child, behave yourself accordingly.
If in God you delight, you shall have songs in the night.
I have a great need of Christ; but I have a great Christ for my need.
Faith sees God, and God sees faith.
Faith honours Christ, and Christ honours faith.
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Faith’s eye sees in the dark.
Bless God heartily though He afflicts you heavily.
Be all for Christ, since He is all to thee.
Begin the year with godly fear.
