The God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered awhile, make you mature, establish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Pet. 5:10).

The type of plow employed has much to do with the resultant harvest. The primitive stick-plow places quite a limitation upon what will...

Feed the flock of God which is among you. . . being examples to the flock" (1 Pet. 5:2; 3).

It is one thing to teach, but quite another to cultivate, nurture, and bring to maturity. "There are ten thousand tutors," but "not many fathers." Not many...

He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord" (1 Cor. 1:31).

There should be a progression in one's faith from objective facts about the Lord Jesus to personal fellowship with Him.

"It is sad to see the Lord's people, even many who pass for spiritual, who have very little...

If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new"  (2 Cor. 5:17).

"The illustration of a man drafted for...

My speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom" (1 Cor. 2:4).

There is human, soulish power and persuasion that can produce “decisions,” and “commitments”; but only the Holy Spirit has the life and power to bring a lost sinner to healthy re-birth in the Saviour.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God" (Ps. 42:1).

"If spiritual thirst is the language of your heart, there is great blessing in store for you. When believers are being turned...

Humble yourselves. . . under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time" (1 Pet. 5:6).

Face it! Trials and suffering are the heart of growth.

"It is the Cross of the Lord Jesus that makes what is naturally bitter sweet to us. It is the fellowship of His...

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Rom. 10:17).

Walking in the Spirit, our faith is heavenly, spiritual; walking in the flesh, our faith is earthly, carnal.

"Is it the mind of the Father which influences my faith and controls my actions, or is it the order...

Looking away (from all that will distract) to Jesus" (Heb. 12:2, Amp.).

Since we are morally coloured by the human company we keep, whether high or low, think of the importance of continually associating with the Lord Jesus on high, and having Him as the centre of our love and interest (

Now are ye light in the Lord" (Eph. 5:8a).

He (the Father) hath chosen us in Him (the Son) before the foundation of the world" (Eph. 1:4).

By His grace and mercy, our will becomes the Father's will when we choose the Saviour. May it ever continue!

"As the master musician knows exactly how the symphonic rendition will sound...

But now in Christ Jesus ye who once were far off are made near by the Blood of Christ" (Eph. 2:13).

Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it" (Matt. 26:26).

The Lord Jesus is not going to break' anything in our lives that does not require breaking. But that of the old which remains unbroken, which we seek to hold back from the processing of His nail-pierced hands, will continually leaven and...

He said to me, My spiritual strength is sufficient, for it is only by means of conscious weakness that power is developed" (2 Cor. 12:9, Wms.).
