DAILY, WEEKEND, AND HOLIDAY INTERNET EVANGELIZE TO THE WORLD MINISTRY

  Morning, August 25 Go To Evening Reading "His fruit was sweet to my taste." —Song of Solomon 2:3 In the Scripture, faith is spoken of under the emblem of all the senses. It is sight : "Look unto me and be ye saved." It is hearing : "Hear, and your soul shall live." Faith is smelling : "All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia"; "thy name is as ointment poured forth." Faith is a spiritual touch . By this faith, the woman came behind and touched the hem of Christ's garment; by this, we handle the things of the good word of life. Faith is equally the spirit's taste. "How sweet are thy words to my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my lips." "Except a man eats my flesh," saith Christ, "and drink my blood, there is no life in him." This " taste " is faith in one of its highest operations . One of the first performances of faith is hearing . We hear the voice of God, not with...

  Morning, May 1 Go To Evening Reading “His cheeks are like a bed of spices, sweet flowers.” —Song of Solomon 5:13 Lo, the flowery month is coming! March winds and April showers have done their work, and the earth is all bedecked with beauty. Come to my soul, wear your holiday attire, and gather garlands of heavenly thoughts. Thou know  whither to betake thyself, for “the beds of spices” are well known, and thou hast so often smelt the perfume of “the sweet flowers,” that thou wilt go at once to thy well-beloved and find all loveliness, all joy in him. That cheek once so rudely smitten with a rod, oft bedewed with tears of sympathy and then defiled with spittle—that cheek as it smiles with mercy is as fragrant aromatic to my heart. Thou didst not hide thy face from shame and spitting, O Lord Jesus, and therefore I will find my dearest delight in praising thee. Those cheeks were furrowed by the plow of grief and crimsoned with red lines of blood from thy thorn-crowned te...

  Morning, March 1 Go To Evening Reading “Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out.” —Song of Solomon 4:16 Anything is better than the dead calm of indifference. Our souls may wisely desire the north wind of trouble if that alone can be sanctified to the drawing forth of the perfume of our graces. So long as it cannot be said, “The Lord was not in the wind,” we will not shrink from the most wintry blast that ever blew upon plants of grace. Did not the spouse in this verse humbly submit herself to the reproofs of her Beloved, only entreating him to send forth his grace in some form and making no stipulation as to the peculiar manner in which it should come? Did she not, like ourselves, become so utterly weary of deadness and unholy calm that she sighed for any visitation which would brace her to action? Yet she desires the warm south wind of comfort, the smiles of divine love, the joy of the Redeemer’s presence; thes...

  Morning, March 19 Go To Evening Reading "Strong in faith." —Romans 4:20 Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect,  faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings . If we want gifts from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith. Prayer cannot draw down answers from God's throne except the earnest prayer of the man who believes. Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and the Lord Jesus in glory. Let that angel be withdrawn; we can neither send up prayer nor receive the answers. Faith is the telegraphic wire which links earth and heaven—on which God's messages of love fly so fast that before we call, he answers, and while we are yet speaking, he hears us. But if that telegraphic wire of faith be snapped, how can we receive the promise? Am I in trouble?—I can obtain help for the situation by faith. Am I beaten about by the enemy?—my soul on her dear Refuge leans by faith. But take faith away—in vain, I call to God. There is no r...

  Morning, March 18 Go To Evening Reading “Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:26 The fatherhood of God is common to all his children . Ah! Little-faith, you have often said, “Oh, that I had the courage of Great-heart, that I could wield his sword and be as valiant as he! But, alas, I stumble at every straw, and a shadow makes me afraid.” List thee, Little-faith. Great-heart is God’s child, and you are God’s child too, and Great-heart is not one whit more God’s child than you are. Peter and Paul, the highly-favored apostles, were of the Highest family, and so are you also; the weak Christian is as much a child of God as the strong one. “This cov’nant stands secure, Though earth’s old pillars bow; The strong, the feeble, and the weak, Are one in Jesus now.” All the names are in the same family register. One may have more grace than another, but God, our heavenly Father, has the same tender heart towards all. One may do more mighty wor...
