Before the judgment seat of Christ my service will be judged not by how much I have done but by how much I could have done. In God’s sight my giving is measured not by how much I have given but by how much I could have given and how much I had left after … Continue reading “SERVICE:
SACRIFICIAL; GIVING; JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST”

Any serious-minded Christian may at some time find himself wondering whether the service he is giving to God is the best it could be. He may even have times of doubting, and fear that his toil is fruitless and his life empty.… The church has marked out certain work and approved it as service acceptable … Continue reading “SERVICE:
MOTIVES FOR; JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST”

Christians, and especially very active ones, should take time out frequently to search their souls to be sure of their motives. Many a solo is sung to show off; many a sermon is preached as an exhibition of talent; many a church is founded as a slap at some other church. Even missionary activity may … Continue reading “SERVICE:
MOTIVES FOR; MISSIONS: MOTIVES FOR”

There is no limit to what God can do through us if we are His yielded and purified people, worshiping and showing forth His glory and His faithfulness. Romans 6:19; Ephesians 2:8–10; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 3:2–3 Whatever Happened to Worship?, 101.

SUFFERING; CROSS: PERSONAL”

Many appear to have arrived at their present eminence by pull, brass, nerve, gall and lucky accident. We turn away from them sick to our stomach and wonder for … Continue reading “SERVANTHOOD;
UNSUNG HEROES; CELEBRITIES”

Every Christian should be looking to the Lord for something to do in the kingdom of God, and everyone ought to be asking God to honor him with a job too big for him.… I think it may be safely said that God is still looking for men who know their own insufficiencies so well … Continue reading “SERVICE:
INSUFFICIENCY FOR”

A Muslim falls down on the ground five times a day in reverence to God in heaven—and a lot of people laugh at him. The Hindu measures himself painfully on the way to the Ganges River to bathe himself—and a lot of people comment, “How foolish can you get?” But I would rather be a … Continue reading “SELF-SUFFICIENCY;
JUDGMENT OF GOD: FUTURE; PRIDE: SPIRITUAL”

Only God is self-sufficient. When men boast of being self-sufficient, they are indulging a fiction that can be proven fictitious just by taking a quick look around.… The human body cannot live on itself. To live it must have constant help from the outside. Though filled with pride and overflowing with self-assurance, men and women … Continue reading “SELF-SUFFICIENCY;
PRIDE: HUMAN; DEPENDENCE ON GOD”
