The gradual disappearance of the idea and feeling of majesty from the Church is a sign and a portent. The revolt of the modern mind has had a heavy price, how heavy is becoming more apparent as the years go by. Our God has now become our servant to wait on our will. “The Lord … Continue reading “GOD:

GOD: HIS MAJESTY; HUMANISM; MEDITATION
… we must practice the art of long and loving meditation upon the majesty of God. This will take some effort, for the concept of majesty has all but disappeared from the human race. The focal point of man’s interest is now himself. Humanism in its various forms has displaced theology as the key to … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS MAJESTY; HUMANISM; MEDITATION”
GOD: HIS LOVE; GOD: HIS KINDNESS
In our desire after God let us keep always in mind that God also has desire, and His desire is toward the sons of men, and more particularly toward those sons of men who will make the once-for-all decision to exalt Him over all. Such as these are precious to God above all treasures of … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS LOVE; GOD: HIS KINDNESS”
GOD: HIS LOVE; INDIVIDUAL IMPORTANCE
We will eternally thank God for the Christian message and the Christian hope and the miracle of transformed human lives that assures us that God cares and that He loves us individually. We will eternally thank God also that His care and concern are not tailored for the nice people and the respectable people and … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS LOVE; INDIVIDUAL IMPORTANCE”
GOD: HIS MAJESTY
Old Novatian said, “That in the contemplation of God’s majesty, all eloquence is done,” which is to say that God is always greater than anything that can be said about Him. No language is worthy of Him. He is more sublime than all sublimity, loftier than all loftiness, more profound than all profundity, more splendid … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS MAJESTY”
GOD: HIS MAJESTY; CONCEPT OF GOD; CHURCH: SERVICES
I am positively sure after many years of observation and prayer that the basis of all of our trouble today, in religious circles, is that our God is too small. When he says magnify the Lord, he doesn’t mean that you are to make God big, but you are to see Him big. When we … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS MAJESTY; CONCEPT OF GOD; CHURCH: SERVICES”
GOD: HIS IMMUTABILITY; GOD: HIS MERCY
What peace it brings to the Christian’s heart to realize that our Heavenly Father never differs from Himself. In coming to Him at any time we need not wonder whether we shall find Him in a receptive mood. He is always receptive to misery and need, as well as to love and faith. He does … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS IMMUTABILITY; GOD: HIS MERCY”
GOD: HIS LEADING; DISTRACTIONS
Imagine! Moses hired a guide to lead Israel through the wilderness! The circumstances being what they were, this seems almost incredible, but Moses was a man capable of making mistakes like the rest of us. And hiring Hobab was a serious mistake.… What need do we have of Hobab’s eyes? Surely none at all. Yet … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS LEADING; DISTRACTIONS”
GOD: HIS LOVE; GOD: HIS GOODNESS
There is a sweet wisdom in love that is above reason—it rises above it and goes far beyond it. Who could ever imagine the God of all the universe condensing Himself into human form and, out of His love, dying for His alienated people? It seems an unreasonable thing to do, but it was reasonable … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS LOVE; GOD: HIS GOODNESS”
GOD: HIS GRACE; FORGIVENESS
We who feel ourselves alienated from the fellowship of God can now raise our discouraged heads and look up. Through the virtues of Christ’s atoning death the cause of our banishment has been removed. We may return as the Prodigal returned, and be welcome. As we approach the Garden, our home before the Fall, the … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS GRACE; FORGIVENESS”
