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

  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 useless. 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, an active energy, an indwelling reality, and a part of the woof and warp of our being. If it be in us , we cannot henceforth part with it. A man may lose his garments or his limbs, but his inward parts are vital and cannot be torn away without absolute loss of ...

  Morning, November 27 Go To Evening Reading “Joshua, the high priest, standing before the angel of the Lord.” —Zechariah 3:1 In Joshua the High Priest, we see a picture of every child of God, who has been made nigh by the blood of Christ and has been taught to minister in holy things and enter into that which is within the veil. Jesus has made us priests and kings unto God, and even here upon earth, we exercise the priesthood of consecrated living and hallowed service. But this high priest is said to be “ standing before the angel of the Lord,” that is, standing to minister. This should be the perpetual position of every true believer. Every place is now God’s temple, and his people can genuinely serve him in their daily employments as they do in his house. They are to be constantly “ministering,” offering the spiritual sacrifice of prayer and praise, and presenting themselves as a “living sacrifice.” But notice where Joshua stands to minister; it is before the angel of ...

  Morning, November 26 Go To Evening Reading "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." —Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do" refers to possible works. There are many things that our heart finds to do that we never shall do. It is well in our heart, but if we were eminently helpful, we would not be content with forming schemes in our heart and talking of them; we must practically carry out " whatever our hand findeth to do ." One good deed is worth more than a thousand brilliant theories. Let us not wait for significant opportunities or for different kinds of work, but do just the things we "find to do" day by day. We have no other time in which to live. The past is gone; the future has not arrived; we shall never have time but time present. Then do not wait until your experience has ripened into maturity before you attempt to serve God. Endeavour now to bring forth fruit. Serve God now, but be careful how ...

  Morning, September 1 : Go To Evening Reading “Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterward receive me to glory.” —Psalm 73:24 The Psalmist felt his need for divine guidance. He had just been discovering the foolishness of his own heart, and lest he should be constantly led astray by it, he resolved that God’s counsel should henceforth guide him. A sense of our own folly is a significant step towards being wise when it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord. The blind man leans on his friend’s arm and reaches home in safety, and so would we give ourselves up implicitly to divine guidance, nothing doubting, assured that though we cannot see, it is always safe to trust the all-seeing God. “ Thou shalt ” is a blessed expression of confidence. He was sure that the Lord would not decline the condescending task. There is a word for thee, O believer; rest thou in it. Be assured that thy God will be thy counselor and friend; he shall guide and direct all thy ways. In his wr...
