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

  Morning, September 30 Go To Evening Reading “Sing forth the honor of his name; make his praise glorious.” —Psalm 66:2 Whether we shall praise God or not is not left to our own option. Praise is God’s most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of his grace, is bound to praise God daily. We have no authoritative rubric for daily praise or commandment prescribing certain hours of song and thanksgiving, but the law written upon the heart teaches us that it is right to praise God. The unwritten mandate comes to us with as much force as if it had been recorded on the tables of stone or handed to us from the top of thundering Sinai. Yes, the Christian must praise God. It is not only a pleasurable exercise, but it is the absolute obligation of his life. Think not ye who are always mourning, that ye are guiltless in this respect, or imagine that ye can discharge your duty to your God without songs of praise. You are bound by the bonds of his love to bless his na...

  Morning, September 29 : Go To Evening Reading “Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague.” —Leviticus 13:13 Strange enough, this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This morning, it may be well for us to see the typical teaching of so singular a rule. We, too, are lepers and may read the law of the leper as applicable to ourselves. When a man sees himself to be altogether lost and ruined, covered all over with the defilement of sin, and no part free from pollution; when he disclaims all righteousness of his own and pleads guilty before the Lord, then is he clean through the blood of Jesus and the grace of God. Hidden, unfelt, unconfessed iniquity is the true leprosy, but when sin is seen and felt, it has received its death blow, and the Lord looks with eyes of mercy upon the soul afflicted with it. Nothing is more deadly than self...

Morning, September 28 Go To Evening Reading “The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.” —Psalm 33:13 Perhaps no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light than when he is spoken of as stooping from his throne and coming down from heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. We love him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniquity, would not destroy those cities until he had personally visited them. We cannot help pouring out our hearts in affection for our Lord, who inclines his ear from the highest glory and puts it to the lip of the dying sinner, whose failing heart longs after reconciliation. How can we but love him when we know that he numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks our path, and orders our ways? Especially is this great truth brought near to our heart when we recollect how attentive he is, not merely to the temporal interests of his creatures, but to their spiritual concerns. Though leagues of distance li...
