Morning ======= "Help, Lord." / Psalm 12:1 The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication--when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not have cried for help; but at the same time he intended honestly to exert himself for the cause of truth, … [Read more...]
The incarnation and birth of Christ
“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 Suggested Further Reading: Hebrews 10:5-7 “Go,” saith the Father, “and thy Father’s blessing on thy head!” Then comes the unrobing. How do angels crowd around to see the Son of God take off his robes! He laid aside … [Read more...]
Faith omnipotent
‘Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.’ Mark 9:23 Suggested Further Reading: Romans 4:13–22 Faith studies what the promise is—an emanation of divine grace, an overflowing of the great heart of God; and faith says, ‘My God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain that this promise will be fulfilled.’ Then faith thinks, ‘Who gave this … [Read more...]

An appeal to sinners
“This man receiveth sinners.” Luke 15:2 Suggested Further Reading: Ephesians 1:3-8 Allow us just to amplify that word: “this man receiveth sinners.” Now, by that we understand that he receives sinners to all the benefits which he has purchased for them. If there be a fountain, he receives sinners to wash them in it; if there be medicine for the soul, he receives sinners to heal their diseases; if there be a house for the sick, an hospital, … [Read more...]
Liberty: Slavery
Isaiah 61:1-2 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim LIBERTY to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn. Liberty is the very essence of the gospel. God did not give laws commanding … [Read more...]
No tears in heaven
‘And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.’ Revelation 7:17 Suggested Further Reading: Matthew 6:25–7:5 How numerous are the tears of unbelief! We manufacture troubles for ourselves by anticipating future ills which may never come, or which, if they do come, may be like the clouds, all ‘big with mercy,’ and ‘break with blessings on our head.’ We get supposing what we should do if such-and-such a thing occurred, which thing God has … [Read more...]
I’m Third
I’m Third ========= from the Denver Post Out of the sun, packed in a diamond formation and flying as one that day, the Minute Men dove at nearly the speed of sound toward a tiny emerald patch on Ohio’s unwrinkled crazy quilt below. It was a little after nine on the morning of June 7, 1958, and the destination of the Air National Guard’s jet precision team was the famed Wright‐Patterson Air Force Base, just outside Dayton. On the ground, … [Read more...]
The Third Party
“No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 To experience genuine love with our mate, we must bring a third party into the equation—Jesus Christ. Only through this spiritual connection with Him can we begin to fulfill all the potential of the relationship we call marriage.
