Biography may be either a help or a hindrance, depending upon how we interpret and apply it. The biographer usually accents the high, stirring moments in the life of his subject and of necessity passes over the days and years when nothing out of the ordinary happened. Yet without the thousands of common days there … Continue reading “BIOGRAPHY:
INTERPRETATION OF”

None of us can ever be fully pleasing to God if we are not willing to be well taught in His Word.… I sense a spirit of independence, if not rebellion, in the believer who states, “I am not going to bother with the doctrines and the teachings. I am just going to lean back … Continue reading “BIBLE:
STUDY OF”

The Bible is unique among books, which means simply that no book has been produced just like it. The Bible is not a book of history, though it contains much history, and all it does contain is authentic. It is not a book of science, though all its pronouncements upon the facts usually falling into … Continue reading “BIBLE:
UNIQUENESS OF”

Think what a change it would make in the world if men and women suddenly paused to hear the Word of the Lord! The Word of God being what it is, and God being who He is, and we humans being who we are, I am sure that the most rewarding thing we could do … Continue reading “BIBLE:
VALUE OF”

When religion loses its sovereign character and becomes mere form, this spontaneity is lost also, and in its place come precedent, propriety, system—and the file-card mentality.… Here’s how the file card works when it gets into the Christian life and begins to create mental habits: It divides the Bible into sections fitted to the days … Continue reading “BIBLE:

If you do not read your Bible much and often and reverently, you are not thinking God’s thoughts.… There also has to be a lot of meditation. We ought to learn to live in our Bibles. … Continue reading “BIBLE:

Tozer once warned Christian believers not to read the Bible as they would another piece of literature or a textbook. “I have always felt that when we read and study the Word of God, we should have great expectations,” he explained. “We should ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the person, the glory and the … Continue reading “BIBLE:

The present neglect of the inspired Scriptures by civilized man is a shame and a scandal; for those same Scriptures tell him all he wants to know, or should want to know, about God, his own soul and human destiny.… Whatever keeps me from the Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to … Continue reading “BIBLE:
NEGLECT OF; MEDITATION; DISTRACTIONS”

The threefold purpose of the Bible is to inform, to inspire faith and to secure obedience. Whenever it is used for any other purpose, it is used wrongly and may do actual injury. The Holy Scriptures will do us good only as we present an open mind to be taught, a tender heart to believe … Continue reading “BIBLE:
OBEDIENCE TO”

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking Heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and … Continue reading “BIBLE:
MEDITATION; LISTENING TO GOD”
