MORNING THOUGHTS, or DAILY WALKING WITH GOD By Octavius Winslow MAY 1. "This people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone." Jeremiah 5:23 We look at a believer's lax practice, we mourn and weep over it, and we do well; we trace our own, and still deeper shame and confusi... Read More

The famous Love Chapter in the Bible, even 1 Corinthians 13, lists fifteen characteristics of love (vv 4-7). Most interestingly the very first manifestation is patience. "Love is patient!" I believe that the order of mention in the Scripture is also inspired by God. Shall we say that patience is the... Read More

I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. (Matthew 11:11) The Lord said John was more than a prophet. He claimed John was Elijah. The angel proclaimed to Zechariah that hi... Read More

"To another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:8, 9). We have not passed this way hitherto. I believe that Satan has many devices and that they are worse today than ever before; but I also believe that there is to be a full manifestation on th... Read More

The law of sowing and reaping: Gal. 6:7-8 "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life everlasting." The mind is like a farmers f... Read More

But there is this great difference between them. The first, third and fifth refer to the b... Read More

Foreword by John Bloore Plainfield, N. J. February, 1935. As the years pass and the Lord calls home those who have been used to bring out the essential teachings of God's word as to the truth of the gospel and the scriptural order of the assembly, and as a new generation of believers grows up, many ...

APOSTLES If any man build a house, he will begin by the foundation and will not try to make the roof first. It is hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that an apostolic service is analogous to laying a foundation. Indeed the great Apostle to the Gentiles uses the figure where responsible w...

Down to the 10th verse of the 2nd chapter, the apostle is looking at the counsels of God to be made good in a people on the earth through that mighty power by which Christ was raised from the dead. From Eph. 2: 11, to the end of Eph. 3, we get him looking at the change that had taken place upon eart... Read More

With us it may be sometimes such a little thing that Satan gets hold of, but in Christ he found nothing and he was utterly worsted; and what can he do against us now if Christ is up there watching over every child of God? He may find fault with my walk, and allow me to be passed through a process, l... Read More
