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

  Morning, June 30 Go To Evening Reading "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them." —John 17:22 Behold the superlative liberality of the Lord Jesus, for he hath given us his all. Although a tithe of his possessions would have made a universe of angels rich beyond all thought, was he not content until he had given us all that he had. It would have been surprising grace if he had allowed us to eat the crumbs of his bounty beneath the table of his mercy, but he will do nothing by halves; he makes us sit with him and share the feast. Had he given us some small pension from his royal coffers, we should have had cause to love him eternally; but no, he will have his bride as rich as himself, and he will not have a glory or a grace in which she shall not share. He has not been content with less than making us joint-heirs with himself so that we might have equal possessions. He has emptied all his estate into the coffers of the Church and hath all things every day ...

  Morning, June 29 Go To Evening Reading "Them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." —1 Thessalonians 4:14 Let us not imagine that the soul sleeps in insensibility. "Today shalt thou is with me in paradise," is the whisper of Christ to every dying saint. They "sleep in Jesus," but their souls are before the throne of God, praising him day and night in his temple, singing hallelujahs to him who washed them from their sins in his blood. The body sleeps in its lonely bed of earth beneath the coverlet of grass. But what is this sleep? The idea connected with sleep is " rest ," which is the thought that the Spirit of God would convey to us. Sleep makes each night a Sabbath for the day. Sleep shuts the door of the soul fast and bids all intruders tarry for a while that the life within may enter its summer garden of ease. The toil-worn believer quietly sleeps, as does the weary child when it slumbers on its mother's breast. Oh!...

  Morning, June 28 Go To Evening Reading “Looking unto Jesus.” —Hebrews 12:2 It is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus, but Satan’s work is the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, “Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of his children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.” All these are thoughts about self; we shall never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self: he tells us that we are nothing but that “Christ is all in all.” Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ that keeps thee—it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be the instrument—it is Christ’s blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to thy hand w...

  Morning, June 27 Go To Evening Reading “Only ye shall not go very far away.” —Exodus 8:28 This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must go out of Egypt, he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms and the observation of his spies. In the same fashion, the world loves not the nonnonconformity nonnonconformityr the dissidence of dissent; it would have us be more charitable and not carry matters with too severe a hand. Death to the world, and burial with Christ, are experiences that carnal minds treat with ridicule. Hence, the ordinance sets them forth is almost universally neglected and even condemned. Worldly wisdom recommends the path of compromise and talks of “moderation.” According to this carnal policy, purity is admitted to be desirable, but we are warned against being too precise; the truth is, of course, to be followed, but the error is not to be...

  June 26 Lesson 4 (KJV) God Offers Deliverance Devotional Reading: Isaiah 51:1–8 Background Scripture: Isaiah 51 Isaiah 51:1–8 1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are dug. 2 Look unto Abraham, your father, and Sarah, that bare you: for I called him alone, blessed him, and increased him. 3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places, and make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. 5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. 6 Lift up your eyes to the h...
