The Beautiful Apple With A Rotten Core

Women’s Role According to Paul Excerpt Under the gospel, prayer is not to be confined to any one particular house of prayer, but men must pray every where. We must pray in our closets, pray in our families, pray at our meals, pray when we are on journeys, and pray in the solemn assemblies, whether more public or private. We must pray in charity; without wrath, or malice, or anger at any person. We must pray in faith, without doubting, and without disputing. Women who profess the Christian religion, must be modest in apparel, not affecting gaudiness, gaiety, or costliness. Good works are the best ornament; these are, in the sight of God, of great price. Modesty and neatness are more to be consulted in garments than elegance and fashion. And it would be well if the professors of serious godliness were wholly free from vanity in dress. They should spend more time and money in relieving the sick and distressed, than in decorating themselves and their children. To do this in a manner...

Pass From Death to Life Excerpt This is a spiritual resurrection  (see  Eph. 2:1–3 ) and takes place when sinners hear the Word and believe. The  man Christ healed was really a living dead man. When he heard the Word and  believed, he was given new life in his body. Christ has life in Himself, for Christ is “the Life” ( 14:6 ) and therefore can give life to others.  More Wiersbe, Warren W.  Wiersbe’s Expository Outlines on the New Testament .

The First Marriage Excerpt Everything in Creation was “very good” ( 1:31 ) except the loneliness of Adam. “It  is not good for man to be alone” points to the basis for marriage: (1) to provide  companionship; (2) to carry on the race; (3) to help one another and bring out  the best. The word “helpmeet” ( v.  18 ) refers to helper: one that meets his needs.  This companion was not found anywhere in animal creation, thus showing the  great gulf that is fixed between brute creatures and human beings made in the image of God. God made the first woman out of the flesh and bone of the first  man, and He “closed up the flesh in its place”   ( v.  21 ,  nkjv ). The verb “made” in  v.  22  is actually the word “built,” as one would build a temple. The fact that Eve  was made from Adam shows the unity of the human race and the dignity of woman. It has been remarked that Eve was made, not from the man’s feet to be...

The Silent Servant Isaiah 53:7–9 Excerpt A servant is not permitted to talk back; he or she must submit to the will of the master or mistress. Jesus Christ was  silent before those who accused Him as well as those who afflicted Him. He was silent before Caiaphas ( Matt. 26:62–63 ), the chief priests and elders ( 27:12 ), Pilate ( 27:14 ;  John 19:9 ) and Herod Antipas ( Luke 23:9 ). He did not speak when the soldiers mocked Him and beat Him ( 1 Peter 2:21–23 ). This is what impressed the Ethiopian treasurer as he read this passage in Isaiah ( Acts 8:26–40 ). Isaiah 53:7  speaks of His silence under suffering and  verse 8  of His silence when illegally tried and condemned to death. In today’s courts, a person can be found guilty of terrible crimes; but if it can be proved that something in the trial was illegal, the case must be tried again.  Everything  about His trials was illegal, yet Jesus did not appeal for another trial. “The cup which ...

July 31: Cosmic, Creation, Chaos 2 Samuel 23:1–24:25; Jude 1:17–25 ; Psalm 148:1–150:6 Psalm 148 is cosmic in scope and comforting in the message. It’s a depiction of how Yahweh brought order to chaos in the very beginning. Yahweh put the heavens, heights, angels, hosts (His armies), the sun, the moon, stars, and waters in their place—each a sign of His rule over the universe ( Psa 148:1–5 ). Yahweh rules over the elements commonly depicted as gods in the ancient Near East; He rules over the symbols of chaos. And this cosmic depiction is comforting. The version of the creation story we typically hear tells how things came to be, which is good. But when the story is cast like it is in Psa 148 —where we see God as ruler and Lord over chaos—the message moves beyond an intellectual knowledge. If God rules over chaos and has since the beginning, He can bring order to the chaos in our own lives. For this reason, the psalmist praises Yahweh both for His creation and for His work ...

Morning, July 31                             Go To Evening Reading “I in them.” — John 17:23 If such be the union which subsists between our souls and the person of our Lord, how deep and broad is the channel of our communion! This is no narrow pipe through which a thread-like stream may wind its way, it is a channel of amazing depth and breadth, along whose glorious length a ponderous volume of living water may roll its floods. Behold he hath set before us an open door, let us not be slow to enter. This city of communion hath many pearly gates, every several gates are of one pearl, and each gate is thrown open to the uttermost that we may enter, assured of welcome. If there were but one small loophole through which to talk with Jesus, it would be a high privilege to thrust a word of fellowship through the narrow door; how much we are blessed in having so large an entrance! Had the Lord Jesus been far aw...

July 31st Till you are entirely His Let your endurance be a finished product, so that you may be finished and complete, with never a defect. James 1:4 (Moffatt). Many of us are all right in the main, but there are some domains in which we are slovenly. It is not a question of sin, but of the remnants of the carnal life which are apt to make us slovenly. Slovenliness is an insult to the Holy Ghost. There should be nothing slovenly, whether it be in the way we eat and drink, or in the way we worship God. Not only must our relationship to God be right, but the external expression of that relationship must be right. Ultimately God will let nothing escape, every detail is under His scrutiny. In numberless ways, God will bring us back to the same point over and over again. He never tires of bringing us to the one point until we learn the lesson because He is producing the finished product. It may be a question of impulse, and again and again, with the most persistent patience...

July 30 Lesson 9 (KJV) Amos Devotional Reading: Psalm 119:1–8 Background Scripture : Amos 7 Amos 7:10–17 10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. 11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. 12 Also, Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court. 14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdsman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: 15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. 16 Now, therefore, h...
