john-14:27

Oh, how the Spirit is straitened by us as He goes through the wilderness with us and finds so little answer in our hearts, and cannot get the waters to flow! Do not speak of self, failure, or circumstances, though we have deeply to humble ourselves: Satan would always try to put these between us and... Read More

What would one do if instead of looking at Christ, one looked at all the billows and vanities down here, around or within? Here all conflict, up there all peace.

Some of us have seen people do all sorts of extraordinary things under the influence of religious excitement, and those of us who are pasto... Read More

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but ... Read More

SERVING the Lord in order to be happier in Him tends to legality. The work done is the source of the happiness and not Christ Himself.
