The smiling face of God is always turned toward us—but the cloud of concealment is of our own making.38

Upon God’s faithfulness rests our whole hope of future blessedness. Only as He is faithful will His covenants stand and His promises be honored. Only as we have complete assurance that He is faithful may we live in peace and look forward with assurance to the life to come.39

Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.1 —— The Just died for the unjust; and because He did, the unjust may now live, with the Just in complete moral congruity. Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift.2 —— God always gives us … Continue reading “GIFTS/GIVING”

The position of some would-be teachers, which insists that when you come into the kingdom of God by faith you immediately have all there is in the kingdom of God, is as deadly as cyanide.

Such a sight the angels behold day and night forever and ask nothing more to make them perpetually satisfied.1 … Continue reading “CREATION/CREATOR”

The devoted and committed person who takes the cross and follows the Lord does not ask what the consequences will be, neither does he argue about God’s plan and God’s wisdom.1 —— The world crucified Jesus because they couldn’t stand Him! There was something in Him that rebuked them and they hated Him for it … Continue reading “THE
