 Holy Vessels....or not?.....F.B.MEYER, CHRIST IN ISAIAH

Through this world, unseen by mortal eye, a procession is passing, threading it's way across continents of time. It bears holy vessels.the forms of expression in which Divine truth is enshrined may be compared to the vessels of the old dispensation, set apart to serve the purpose of the sanctuary. testimony to God's truth, the affirmation of things unseen and eternal, the announcement of the facts of redemption; [b]such are our sacred charge.[/b]




We must contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. "Take heed to thyself, and [b]to the doctrine."[/b] the greatest service the Church can give to the world is it's perpetual witness to the truth of God's being; to the facts of redemption, of judgment, and of the world to come. Concerning all of these, the olden charge is given us,"Watch you, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and of the Levites, in the chambers of the house of the Lord."




What manner of persons ought we [b]not[/b] to be, to whom so high a ministry is entrusted? How careful that our holy trust should not be forfeited because of our unholy life? How eager lest the glistening glory of our charge be blurred or dimmed by our thumb marks!? How watchful that [b]the testimony of a doctrine[/b] be not traversed by the life of those that profess it!



[b]Men estimate the worth of the truths to which we bear witness by the worth of our personal character.[/b]



Let us commend the Gospel by the holiness and the elevation of our lives.


F.B.MEYER,...CHRIST IN ISAIAH

I ran across this piece by Meyer, and thought of our stand for doctrine. It must be more than between our ears; it must exhibit the fruits of gentleness and holiness, in all that we write and do.
