luke-9:23

Friends,—Keep your women's meetings in the power of God, which the devil is out of; and take your possession of that which you are heirs of, and keep the gospel order. For man and woman were helps-meet [Gen 2:18] in the image of God [Gen 1:27], and in righteousness and holiness, in the dominion, bef... Read More

To all Friends that live in the truth, and by it are become God's freemen and women [1 Cor 7:22], and by the truth and power of God are brought out of the world's vain fashions and customs, in their feastings, and revelings, and banquetings, and wakes, and other vain feastings, where they spoil the ...

Reading: Eze 40:2-4; 43:10-11; Matt 3:17; 11:25-30; John 1:51; Luke 9:23; Eph 4:20-21. The basic word out of those read, for our present purpose, is Mat 11:29—"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me." Learn of me. The Apostle Paul, in a slightly different form of words, gives us what the Lord Jesus ... Read More

Reading: Ezekiel 40:2-4; 43:10-11.
