“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the Seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. […]
Blundering & stumbling on in darkness J.C.Philpot After the Lord has quickened our souls, for a time we often go blundering on, not knowing there is a Jesus. We think that the way of life is to keep God’s commandments—obey the law—cleanse ourselves from sin—reform our lives—cultivate universal holiness in thought, word, and action—and so […]
The Omnipresence of God John MacDuff, “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 an Omniscient, Omnipresent One! “His Eyes are […]

But if all things are put under Jesus’ feet—there […]
All is transparent and harmonious to His eye! (Octavius Winslow, “My Times in God’s Hand!”) We live in a world of mysteries! They . . . meet our eye, awaken our inquiry, and baffle our investigation at every step. Nature is a vast arcade of mysteries. Science is a mystery. Truth is […]
THE SUPREME INVESTITURE John MacDuff “Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said,” “All power in heaven and in earth is given unto Me!” — Matthew 28:18 What an empire is this! Heaven and earth — the Church militant — the Church triumphant — angels and archangels — saints and seraphs are under […]
Why do we love Him? Spurgeon, “THE CHURCH’S LOVE TO HER LOVING LORD” Because before this round earth ever was fashioned between the palms of the great Creator- before he had painted the rainbow, or hung out the lights of the sun and moon, Christ’s delights were with us. He foresaw us and he knew […]
When the creature failed, he flew to the Creator! (Charles Spurgeon) “Help, Lord! For the godly are no more.” Psalm 12:1 The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, seasonable, pithy, and suggestive.
