Sermons and Biblical Studies

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:
HIS MAJESTY; GOD: HIS SOVEREIGNTY”

The decline of the knowledge of the holy has brought on our troubles. A rediscovery of the majesty of God will go a long way toward curing them. It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate. If we would bring … Continue reading “GOD:
HIS MAJESTY; CONCEPT OF GOD; SPIRITUAL VICTORY”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”
