EVENING THOUGHTS or DAILY WALKING WITH GOD JUNE 1. "Howbeit you are just in all that is brought upon us; for you have done right, but we have done wickedly." Neh. 9:33 IT would be incorrect to suppose that the chastisements of our heavenly Father were in themselves pleasant and desirable. They are n... Read More

The Bible repeatedly commands us to “rejoice in the Lord” (Phil 3:1; 4:4). These are actually the words Apostle Paul wrote from inside the prison to the Christians in Philippi. It’s usually the visitors to prisons who would encourage the inmates. But here we see the other way round! That’s what poin... Read More

The Spiritual Vine by Thomas Watson "I am the true vine." John 15:1 "Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth—for Your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of Your perfumes; Your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love You!" Song of Songs 1:2-3. Jesus ... Read More

We have four Scriptures, in distant parts of the Word, which find connection with this subject, "The Redemption of the Inheritance." I mean Lev. 25: 25; Deut. 25: 5-10; Ruth 4: 1-10; Jer. 32: 6-15. The ordinance in Lev. 25 teaches us, that an Israelite might redeem or buy the inheritance of an impov... Read More

The soul is the dwelling-place of the truth of God. The ear and the mind are but the gate and the avenue; the soul is its home or dwelling-place. The beauty and the joy of the truth may have unduly occupied the out-posts, filled the avenues, and crowded the gates--but it is only in the soul that its... Read More
