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

  Morning, November 30 Go To Evening Reading "And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered The Lord can give thee much more than this." —2 Chronicles 25:9 A fundamental question this seemed to be to the king of Judah, and possibly it is of even more weight with the tried and tempted O Christian. To lose money is never pleasant, and when principle involves it, the flesh is not always ready to sacrifice. "Why lose that which may be so usefully employed? May not the truth itself be bought too, dear? What shall we do without it? Remember the children and our small income!" All these things and a thousand more would tempt the Christian to put forth his hand to unrighteous gain or keep himself from carrying out his conscientious convictions when they involve profound loss. All men cannot view these matters in the light of faith; even with the followers of Jesus, the ...

  Morning, November 29 Go To Evening Reading "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people … Thou shalt rebuke thy neighbor and not suffer sin upon him." —Leviticus 19:16 , 17 Tale-bearing emits a threefold poison, for it injures the teller, the hearer, and the person concerning whom the tale is told. Whether the report is true or false, we are, by this precept of God's Word, forbidden to spread it. The reputations of the Lord's people should be very precious in our sight, and we should count it a shame to help the devil to dishonor the Church and the name of the Lord. Some tongues need a bridle rather than a spur. Many glories in pulling down their brethren as if thereby they raised themselves. Noah's wise sons cast a mantle over their father, and he who exposed him earned a fearful curse. In one of these dark days, we may need forbearance and silence from our brethren; let us render it cheerfully to those who require it now. Be this our ...

  Morning, November 28 Go To Evening Reading "For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth." —3 John 3 The truth was in Gaius, and Gaius walked in the truth. If the first had not been the case, the second could never have occurred; and if the second could not be said of him, the first would have been a mere pretense. Truth must enter the soul, penetrate and saturate it, or else it is of no value. Doctrines held as a matter of creed are like bread in hand, which ministers no nourishment to the frame, but doctrine accepted by the heart is as food digested, which, by assimilation, sustains and builds up the body. In us, truth must be a living force, a vibrant energy, an indwelling reality, a part of the woof and warp of our being. If it is in us , we cannot henceforth interest in it. A man may lose his garments or limbs, but his inward parts are vital and cannot be torn away without complete loss of li...

  November 27 Lesson 13 (KJV) God Gives Tools for Our Protection Devotional Reading: Psalm 91 Background Scripture: Acts 19; Ephesians 6:10–24; Revelation 2:1–7 Ephesians 6:10–18 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the devil's wiles. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness ; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace ; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and ...
