THE BLESSED HOPE “This is the resting place, let the weary rest; and this is the place of repose”— “That blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:13 This is rest under God’s Palm-trees of promise, with a glorious vista seen through their branches. Their fronds […]
Now out of this eternal union with Christ flows every blessing. Only so far as we have an eternal union with Jesus have we any living union, or any spiritual communion with him. Only so far as we have a standing in Christ from before all worlds have we any saving interest in, or any […]
WHERE DO YOU STAND? Isaiah 28: 14-18 The LORD God Laid the Foundation (v16.) Christ Jesus the Son of God is the foundation (Genesis 49: 24: I Cor 3: 11.) In his eternal purpose God the Father chose his Son to manifest the triune God in a body. He was chosen of God to manifest […]

THE OMNIPRESENCE OF GOD (John MacDuff, “The Night Watches”) “Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Where shall I flee from Your presence?” Psalm 139:7 The omnipresence of God! How baffling to any finite comprehension! To think that above us, and around us, and within us — there is Deity — the invisible footprints of […]
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” Titus 3:5, 6 The conversion of a sinner to God is a convincing and precious evidence […]
“He would have given you living water.” John 4:10 How blessed a thing is vital godliness! That is the thing I always wish to contend for. Not for forms and ceremonies, or doctrines floating in the brain—but for the life of God in the soul. That is the only thing worth knowing—the only thing to […]
