Our Holidays

Our Riches in Christ Jesus

Our Walk
Our walk is a synonym for our life. Life is a walk from the cradle to the grave. Our steps emerge from the jewelled gates of birth, traverse rock and sand, enamelled meadow and difficult mountain steeps, and ultimately pass within the portal of death, whi ... read more
OUT OF EGYPT DID I CALL MY SON
Matthew 2:16-23
The death of those little children was very pathetic. From the first it seemed as though our Lord’s advent would bring not peace, but the sword. Their mothers have long since been comforted, but it was a bitter experience. The litt ... read more

O, ... read more

Power

"Four kings with five." -- Genesis 14:9.

Resting-Places
Life is not all climbing, fighting, toiling. There are sweet vales nestling among the gaunt hills, which invite us to come apart and rest awhile. In the darkest day there are some chinks of blue. On the steepest hills there are some level places. No life ... read more
REWARDS OF FAITH

Rising up betimes.
Rising up betimes. 2 Chron. xxxvi. 15.

SALVATION FROM KNOWN SIN--BUT NOT FROM TEMPTATION.
Still, up to the limit of our light God can keep us from known sin. I will say that again: up to the limit of our light--twilight, morning, noon--up to the limit of our light God is able to keep us from all conscious and known sin. But He will not keep us ... read more

Saul and Jonathan were lovely
Saul and Jonathan were lovely
and pleasant in their lives. 2 Sam. i. 23.
IT was very lovely and pleasant of David to say so. He had no hesitation, of course, in saying this of his beloved Jonathan, every memory of whom was very pleasant, like a ... read more
Savorless Salt
No wonder that the common people hung on Christ's words. He was a Master of the Art of Illustration, because he sought his emblems, not from remote corners of creation, or its recondite processes, but from the common incidents of ordinary human experience ... read more
Sealed with the king's ring.
Sealed with the king's ring. Esther viii. 8.

SEEKING LIFE TESTING LEADERS
Matthew 7:13-23
The world is full of shams. Counterfeit coins circulate; paste jewels are worn. Let us take heed against a counterfeit religion. It betrays itself thus:
(1) It does not involve the denial of self. Our Lord compares this to entrance by a ... read more
Seeking the good of his people, and speaking
Seeking the good of his people, and speaking
peace to all his seed. Esther x. 3 (R.V.).

SEPARATED FROM LOT
"Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or, if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left." --Genesis 13:9.
In our last, we saw something o ... read more
SEVEN CONDITIONS
(1.) You must be Holy Ghost filled. Peter was filled thrice; once in the second chapter of Acts, and twice in the fourth chapter. He was a Holy Ghost filled man in character, and therefore he could count on the co-operation of the Spirit.
(2.) You must b ... read more
Shall any teach God knowledge?
Shall any teach God knowledge? Job xxi. 22.
WE cannot tell God anything He does not know already. The most fervent and full of our prayers simply unfold in word all that has been patent to his loving, pitying eye. This does not make prayer nee ... read more
She came to prove Solomon with hard questions.
She came to prove Solomon with hard questions. 2 Chron. ix. 1.
