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

  Morning, September 19 Go To Evening Reading “The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.” —Galatians 5:1 This “liberty” makes us free to heaven’s charter— the Bible . Here is a choice passage, believer, “When thou passest through the rivers, I will be with thee.” You are free to do that. Here is another: “The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee”; you are free to that. You are a welcome guest at the table of the promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith, and you are welcome to all covenant blessings . There is no promise in the Word that shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations, let this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress, let it cheer you; whend thee, sorrows surround let it be thy solace. This is thy Father’s love-token; thou art free to it ...

  Morning, September 12 Go To Evening Reading “God is jealous.” —Nahum 1:2 Your Lord is very jealous of your love , O believer. Did he choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think that you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He loved you with such a love that he would not stop in heaven without you; he would sooner die than you should perish, and he cannot endure that anything should stand between your heart’s love and himself. He is very jealous of your trust . He will not permit you to trust in an arm of flesh. He cannot bear that you should hew out broken cisterns, when the overflowing fountain is always free to you. When we lean upon him, he is glad, but when we transfer our dependence to another, when we rely upon our own wisdom, or the wisdom of a friend, worst of all, when we trust in any works of our own, he is displeased, and will chasten us that he may bring us to hi...

  Morning, August 29 Go To Evening Reading “Have mercy upon me, O God.” —Psalm 51:1 When Dr. Carey was suffering from a dangerous illness, the enquiry was made, “If this sickness should prove fatal, what passage would you select as the text for your funeral sermon?” He replied, “Oh, I feel that such a poor sinful creature is unworthy to have anything said about him; but if a funeral sermon must be preached, let it be from the words, ‘Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.’ ” In the same spirit of humility, he directed in his will that the following inscription and nothing more should be cut on his gravestone:— William Carey, Born August 17th, 1761: Died- - “A wretched, poor, and helpless worm On thy kind arms I fall.” Only on the footing of free grace can the most experienced and most honoured of the saints approach their God. The best of men are conscious above al...

  Morning, August 28 Go To Evening Reading “Oil for the light.” —Exodus 25:6 My soul, how much thou needest this, for thy lamp will not long continue to burn without it. Thy snuff will smoke and become an offence if light be gone, and gone it will be if oil be absent. Thou hast no oil well springing up in thy human nature, and therefore thou must go to them that sell and buy for thyself, or like the foolish virgins, thou wilt have to cry, “My lamp is gone out.” Even the consecrated lamps could not give light without oil; though they shone in the tabernacle, they needed to be fed, though no rough winds blew upon them, they required to be trimmed, and thy need is equally as great. Under the most happy circumstances thou canst not give light for another hour unless fresh oil of grace be given thee. It was not every oil that might be used in the Lord’s service; neither the petroleum which exudes so plentifully from the earth, nor the produce of fishes, nor that extracted from ...
