THE HOLY SPIRIT. There is a certain key called the "master-key," because it is so constructed that it can open many locks. The master-key to the Scriptures is the Holy Spirit. He can unlock every hidden truth. He has come to guide us into all truth. He takes the unsearchable riches of Christ and shows … Continue reading “0940. THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

NONCONFORMISTS. There are more Nonconformists than those who refused to conform to the Established Church at the Restoration of Charles II. Every Christian is called of God to be conformed to the image of His Son (Rom_8:29). We talk about the "noble Nonconformist conscience." May it be noble, indeed, in not conforming to the world. … Continue reading “0937. NONCONFORMISTS.”

VOLUNTEERS OR REGULARS. When a man joins the Volunteers he offers himself for military training, but only for home service; but when a man joins the Regulars he offers himself for service anywhere. Are you a volunteer or a regular in the service of Christ? Are you willing to go anywhere for Jesus? Autor: James … Continue reading “0938. VOLUNTEERS OR REGULARS.”

AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST. Sailors have sometimes to use what they call a "jury-mast." This is a temporary mast which takes the place and does the work of the one which has been carried away with the storm. Christ was carried away with the storm of human indignation and hate. We as Christians are now in … Continue reading “0935. AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST.”

AFFLICTION. To temper metals they must be subjected to great heat and cooled slowly, otherwise they would become brittle and easily broken. Paul had been well tempered in the furnace of trial when able to say, "I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" (Php_4:11). Those easily discouraged have not been … Continue reading “0936. AFFLICTION.”

THE BREAKWATER PROMISE. A barrier is frequently erected outside the harbour to break the force of the waves, and so protect the ships lying in port. "All things work together for good to them that love God" (Rom_8:28). This precious promise surrounds the Christian in every circumstance, and breaks the force of every wave of … Continue reading “0933. THE BREAKWATER PROMISE.”

WHAT IS MAN? Man has been very aptly designated a "microcosm," that is, "a little world"-a little world full of great possibilities, a little world wrapt up in the darkness of sin and death or rolling in the light of eternal day, a little world of chaos, confusion, and disorder because of rebellion against God, … Continue reading “0934. WHAT IS MAN?”

PRIDE. Pride and ambition are twin brothers. The word "ambition" had its origin in Rome, from candidates going about seeking votes. Seeking the honour that comes from men is an unholy ambition, and betrays a pride of heart which is opposed to the Spirit of Jesus Christ. If God be for us, then we have … Continue reading “0931. PRIDE.”

THE PURE WORD. The reddish dye of the "anotta tree" (South America) is largely used in colouring butter and cheese. Some like them all the better because of the colouring. In any case, the pure Word of God needs no colouring. Man has nothing to add to it to make it any better. But the … Continue reading “0932. THE PURE WORD.”

LIFE INSURANCE. Everybody is familiar with the Life Insurance Society. But, after all, no society can insure life for a single moment. It may insure money at death, but that is not insuring life. The only life insurance for man is in the Gospel of the grace of God-union with the ever living Son of … Continue reading “0929. LIFE INSURANCE.”
