FRIENDS, CHOICE OF
      Depend upon it, a great deal depends upon whom we choose for our companions when we begin life. CC121 It is true I may be an apparent loser by declining evil company, but I had better leave my cloak than lose my character; it is not needful that I sh ... read more

FRIENDSHIP
      The vanity of all friendship which is not found in true principle, was never more plainly expressed than in an honest, but heartless, sentence of one of Horace Walpole’s letters. “If one of my friends happens to die, I drive down to St. Jame’s Coffee-h ... read more

FRIENDSHIP -WITH GOD
      Faith is to credit contradictions, and to believe impossibilities, when Jehovah’s word is to the front. If you and I can do this, then we can enter into friendship with God, but not else; for distrust is the death of friendship. 1962.272 ... read more

FRUGALITY
      Economy is half the battle in life; it is not so hard to earn money as it is to spend it well. Hundreds would never have known want if they had not first known waste. PT79 Men do not become rich by what they get, but by what they save. PT110 Some b ... read more

FRUIT BEARING
      The absence of positive fruit was that which condemned the lost. “Every tree,” says John, “that beareth not fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire.” He does not say, “Every tree that bears bitter fruit, or sour grapes,” but “Every tree that bri ... read more

FULFILLMENT
      The man who has a God also has the explanation of a great many things which puzzle other people, and he has something better still, for he has his God to fall back upon when he cannot explain anything. 2396.30 ... read more

FUTURE, THE
      Whether it be for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love, the future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith. Looking into the future we see sin cast out, the body of sin and death destroyed, the soul made perf ... read more

GAMBLING
      A young gambler is sure to be an old beggar if he lives long enough. PT112 I can never look upon dice except with abhorrence. If you ask me why; I reply,— Because the soldiers at the foot of the cross threw dice for my Saviour’s garments, and I have ... read more

GAP THEORY
      I will not venture upon any dogmatic theory of geology, but there seems to be every probability that this world has been fitted up and destroyed, refitted and then destroyed again, many times before the last arranging of it for the habitation of men. “ ... read more

GIFTS
      There is no person without a talent of some sort or other, no one without some form of power either given by nature or acquired by education. We are all endowed in some degree or other, and we must each one give an account for that talent. WE50 ... read more

GIVING
      Those who are poor in pocket, if rich in faith, will be accepted none the less because their gifts are small; but, poor reader, do you give in fair proportion to the Lord, or is the widow’s mite kept back from the sacred treasury? ME289 Honesty first ... read more

GIVING -GRUDGING
      Churlish souls stint their contributions to the ministry and missionary operations, and call such saving good economy; little do they dream that they are thus impoverishing themselves. ME600 If we are grateful to God, we shall feel that the first thi ... read more

GLUTTONY
      Next, common things may be defiled by an excess in the use of them. This may be done by gluttony. What a defilement it is of bread, the staff of life, and of those comforts which God gives to us for food, when a man makes his own belly into a god, whos ... read more

GOD
      It is taken for granted by all theologians that God can neither suffer nor feel. There is no such thing in the Word of God. TN19 It was said that order is heaven’s first law; surely variety is the second; for in all God’s works, there is the most bea ... read more

GOD -BENEFICENCE OF
      He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spri ... read more

GOD -CONDESCENSION OF
      Sinners, when God stoops, will you not stoop? When from the highest heaven he seeks you, will you not seek him? 665.704 O think, that he who was master of all heaven’s majesty came down to be the victim of all man’s misery! 1239.345 Our degrees an ... read more

GOD -CONSISTENCY OF
      Among the unrevealed things there cannot be anything in conflict with the revealed things; none of the secrets can possibly contradict those truths which God has seen fit to unfold. 1117.337 ... read more

GOD -DISTORTION OF
      As long as a man thinks that God is as bad as he himself is, he will never repent of his sin. It is often the holiness of God that breaks men down under a sense of their own guilt. This mistaken idea of the character of God also prevents the exercise of ... read more

GOD -FATHERHOOD OF
      It is easy for the dear lips of redeeming love to put away the child’s offences, since he has already obtained pardon for the criminal’s iniquities. If with his heart’s blood he won our pardon from our Judge, he can easily enough bring us the forgivenes ... read more

GOD -GLORY OF
      God’s great design in all his works is the manifestation of his own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of himself. He cannot act for the good of his creatures as an ultimate aim, for that were for God to be impelled by a motive less great than ... read more

GOD -GOODNESS OF
      The Lord is infinitely good, essentially. He is growingly good, experimentally. TN72 ... read more

GOD -HATRED
      We cannot love God without hating that which he hates. TD97:10 He will not hate his people, but he does hate their sins, and hates them all the more because they nestle in his children’s bosoms. 738.122 A sinner is disgusting to God. Notwithstandin ... read more

GOD -HOLINESS OF
      The most spiritual and sanctified minds, when they fully perceive the majesty and holiness of God, are so greatly conscious of the great disproportion between themselves and the Lord, that they are humbled and filled with holy awe, and even with dread ... read more

GOD -IMMUTABILITY OF
      Perfect stability belongs alone to God; he alone, of all beings, is without variableness or shadow of a turning. He is immutable; he will not change. He is all-wise; he need not change. He is perfect; he cannot change. 158.405 If we are inclined to g ... read more

GOD -JOY OF
      “The gospel of the happy God.” Have you ever considered how happy God must be! how supremely happy? No care, no sorrow, can ever pass across his infinite mind. He is serenely blessed evermore. Now, when a man is miserable, and of a miserable turn of mi ... read more

GOD -JUSTICE OF
      God’s mill grinds slowly, but it grinds to powder. Justice loiters to commune with mercy, but it speedily makes up for its lingering. 1125.434 A God who could pardon without justice might one of these days condemn without reason. 1173.285 God woul ... read more

GOD -KNOWLEDGE OF
      I do not know how much a gnat understands, but I feel sure that a gnat understands a far larger proportion of what I know, than I can comprehend of what God knows. 2862.607 ... read more

GOD -LONGSUFFERING OF
      There is no greater proof of the omnipotence of God, than his longsuffering; for it shows the greatest possible power for God to be able to control himself, to be able to keep in an anger which naturally must boil, and restrain a fury which else must b ... read more

GOD -LOVE OF
      Divine love had no beginning. Yon stars are babes whose eyes but yesterday were open to the light, and yonder mountains are infants newly born; but as for God’s love, it is coeval with His own existence, and the objects of it are always the same. BA158 ... read more

GOD -MAJESTY OF
      It is not possible that mortal men should be thoroughly conscious of the divine presence without being filled with awe. 1474.278 It is not given to such frail creatures as we are to stand in the full blaze of Godhead, even though it be tempered by th ... read more

GOD -MERCY OF
      Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us. 1182.393 Though the woman was made to feel great sorrows, yet those were connec ... read more

GOD -OMNIPOTENCE OF
      Every conversion is a display of omnipotence. 1314.522 ... read more

GOD -OMNIPRESENCE OF
      He is no petty deity, presiding, as the heathen imagined their gods to do, over some one nation, or one department of nature. TD96:4 Wherever thou art, and whatever thou lookest upon, thou art in God’s workshop, where every wheel is turned by his han ... read more

GOD -OMNISCIENCE OF
      Man is all outside to God. With heaven there are no secrets. That which is done in the private chamber of the heart is as public as the streets before the all-seeing eye. PT62 Hide nothing from him, for you can hide nothing. TD62:8 God knows us bef ... read more

GOD -POWER OF
      Huge as this great universe is, God has complete power over it, as you have over the ball which you toss in your hand. 1466.188 ... read more

GOD -PROMISES OF
       Every honest man has a right to credence, and much more does the God of truth deserve it. AP46 Moreover, it is a charming thought that our good God designedly gives us promises of good things that we may enjoy them twice; first by faith, and then by ... read more

GOD -PROVIDENCE OF
       To suppose that temporal things are too little for our condescending God, is to forget that he observes the flight of sparrows, and counts the hairs of his people’s heads. Besides, everything is so little to him, that, if he does not care for the littl ... read more

GOD -PROVISION OF
      Each day, though it bring its trouble, shall bring its help; and though you should live to outnumber the years of Methuselah, and though your needs should be as many as the sands of the seashore, yet shall God’s grace and mercy last through all your ne ... read more

GOD -PUNCTUALITY OF
      How strikingly punctual providence is! You and I make appointments, and miss them by half-an-hour; but God never missed an appointment yet. God never is before his time, though we often wish he were; but he never is behind, no, not by one tick of the c ... read more

GOD -SOVEREIGNTY OF
      We are too insignificant to be of any great importance in God’s vast universe; He can do either with us or without us, and our presence or absence will not disarrange His plans. AM62 If the disposal of the lot is the Lord’s, whose is the arrangement ... read more

GOD -THOUGHTS OF
      These, then, are the thoughts of God concerning us,—certain, numerous, tender, and infinitely wise. 2609.76 He was always thinking upon us; and he is always thinking upon us. The infinite mind of God can think of all things at once. 2654.616 Flowe ... read more

GOD -VERACITY OF
      Friendship only flourishes in the atmosphere of confidence, suspicion is deadly to it: shall the Lord God, true and immutable, be day after day suspected by his own people? TD95:9 Beloved, should we not have strong faith who believe in a God whose ve ... read more

GOD -WARNINGS OF
      God tries words before he comes to blows, “he said that he would destroy them”; but his words are not to be trifled with, for he means them, and has power to make them good. TD106:23 ... read more

GOD -WILL OF
      We read in Scripture of several instances where God apparently changed, but I think the observation of the old Puritan explains all these; he says, “God may will a change, but he cannot change his will.” 568.258 My supremest will shall be not to will ... read more

GOD -WISDOM OF
      Our Creator is infinitely good, and his will is love: to submit to one who is “to wise to err, too good to be unkind,” should not be hard. 1276.61 ... read more

GOD -WORDS OF
      Many words and little sense—this is too often the rule of man’s speech. Few words and much meaning—this is the rule with God. We give gold beaten out into leaf: God giveth ingots of gold when He speaketh. We use but the filings of gems: God droppeth pe ... read more

GOD -WORKMANSHIP OF
      When our Lord has accomplished in us what he is aiming at, the result will be to empty us out and to make us discover the utter vanity of self. 1287.200 God is making, by his grace, beings who will stand next to his throne, but will remain reverently ... read more

GODLINESS
      Godliness makes a man like God. 2088.307 ... read more

GOSPEL, THE
      After the gospel has been found effectual in the eternal salvation of untold multitudes, it seems rather late in the day to alter it; and, since it is the revelation of the all-wise and unchanging God, it appears somewhat audacious to attempt its impro ... read more

GOSSIP
      I learned his character at once from what he said about others (a mode of judging which has never misled me), and I made up my mind how to act. 2LS164 Remember that, as the receiver is as bad as the thief, so the hearer of scandal is a sharer in the ... read more
