Neither the writer nor the reader of these words is qualified to appreciate the holiness of God. Quite literally a new channel must be cut through the desert of our minds to allow the sweet waters of truth that will heal our great sickness to flow in. We cannot grasp the true meaning of the … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS HOLINESS”

For a moral being to change it would be necessary that the change be in one of three directions. He must go from better to worse or from worse to better; or, granted that the moral quality remain stable, he must change within himself, as from immature to mature or from one order of being … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS IMMUTABILITY”

Always and always God must be first. The gospel in its scriptural context puts the glory of God first and the salvation of man second. The angels, approaching from above, chanted “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” This puts the glory of God and the blessing of … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS GLORY; EVANGELISM: GOD FIRST”

Always God’s goodness is the ground of our expectation. Repentance, though necessary, is not meritorious but a condition for receiving the gracious gift of pardon which God gives of His goodness.

HIS GIFTS; BLESSINGS: UNLIMITED”

The God of contemporary Christianity is only slightly superior to the gods of Greece and Rome, if indeed He … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS GLORY”

And in case you do not know what glamor is, I might explain that it is a compound of sex, paint, padding and artificial lights. It came to America by way of the … Continue reading “GLAMOR”

But in this service I attended, they had asked a young girl to sing, and she was a hunchback, terribly deformed and twisted. There she stood, about as high as the desk, and with her face set almost down on her breast. Sweetly she began to sing and you knew she was singing her testimony … Continue reading “GLORIFIED
BODY; HEAVEN: GLORY OF; TRIALS: ATTITUDE TOWARD”

A person who has sensed what Isaiah sensed will never be able to joke about “the Man upstairs” or the “Someone up there who likes me.” One of the movie actresses who still prowled around the nightclubs after her supposed conversion to Christ was quoted as telling someone, “You ought to know God.
