Jesus Christ makes no mistake of that kind. When He enlists a man in His service, He shows him the dark side; He lets him know that he must live a life of self-denial. If a man is not willing to go to heaven by the way of Calvary, he cannot go at all. Many men want a religion in which there is no cross, but they cannot enter heaven that way. If we are to be disciples of Jesus Christ, we must deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Him. So let us sit down and count the cost. Do not thi...

“The LORD's Free Men ” - Rom_6:14 Sin will reign if it can: it cannot be satisfied with any place below the throne of the heart. We sometimes fear that it will conquer us, and then we cry unto the LORD, "Let not any iniquity have dominion over me. This is His comforting answer: "Sin shall not have dominion over you. " It may assail you and even wound you, but it shall never establish sovereignty over you. If we were under the law, our sin would gather strength and hold us under its power;...

“God's Multiplication Table ” - Isa_60:22 Works for the LORD often begin on a small scale, and they are none the worse for this. Feebleness educates faith, brings God near, and wins glory for His name. Prize promises of increase! Mustard seed is the smallest among seeds, and yet it becomes a treelike plant, with branches which lodge the birds of heaven. We may begin with one, and that "a little one," and yet it will "become a thousand." The LORD is great at the multiplication table. How ofte...

Little Children Mar_10:13-16 Have you ever asked a baseball player for an autograph? We all have the feeling that, somehow, something of another's "greatness" will rub off on us if we can make physical contact. Something of that is seen here in these mothers who brought their children to Jesus. The drama comes from the disciples. They try to hold the children back. The great man is busy, there are huge demands on his time, children this small are unimportant, he can't be bothered with su...

IX. LOVE AND DISCERNMENT. "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all judgment: that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."-- Php_1:9-11. One of the most beautiful elements in the Pauline Epistles is the intimate relation which evidently existed between the Apostle and his co...

Getting There John 1:38-39 (Joh_1:38-39) Where our self-interest sleeps and the real interest is awakened. "They . . . remained with Him that day . . . ." That is about all some of us ever do. We stay with Him a short time, only to wake up to our own realities of life. Our self-interest rises up and our abiding with Him is past. Yet there is no circumstance of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. "You are Simon . . . . You shall be called Cephas" (Joh_1:42). God writes our new name only...

“No Fear of Death ” - Rev_2:11 The first death we must endure unless the LORD should suddenly come to His temple. For this let us abide in readiness, awaiting it without fear, since Jesus has transformed death from a dreary cavern into a passage leading to glory. The thing to be feared is not the first but the second death, not the parting of the soul from the body but the final separation of the entire man from God. This is death indeed. This death kills all peace, joy, happiness, hope. W...

How little Saul knew the shield that was protecting God's chosen king, and that no power of his could take away the life which God chose to preserve! this is only for us who are born again, the blood of the lamb has washed us...petr

To such imploring devotion the Almighty love which hears prayer cannot accord a grudging or ungracious response. Moses comes to find that God is more merciful than his earlier apprehension of Him implied, and towards these children of Abraham a longsuffering is extended which enfolds the hope of corporate salvation. But such a salvation cannot bar out punishment due to individual offenders. Many who belong to the nation which God consents to spare must yet look for their own dark reckoning-da...
