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

  Morning, October 9 Go To Evening Reading "Able to keep you from falling." —Jude 24 In some sense, the path to heaven is very safe, but in other respects, there is no road so dangerous . It is beset with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is to take that if grace is absent), and down we go. What a slippery path that some of us have to tread! How often have we asked the Psalmist, "My feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped." If we were strong, sure-footed mountaineers, this would not matter much, but how weak we are in ourselves ! In the best roads we soon falter , in the smoothest paths we quickly stumble. These feeble knees of ours can scarcely support our tottering weight. A straw may throw us, and a pebble can wound us; we are mere children tremblingly taking our first steps in the walk of faith, our heavenly Father holds us by the arms or we should soon be down. If we are kept from falling, how must we bless the patient power tha...

  Morning, September 30 Go To Evening Reading "Sing forth the honor of his name; make his praise glorious." —Psalm 66:2 Whether we should praise God or not is not our choice. 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 name so ...

  Morning, September 27 Go To Evening Reading "Happy art thou, O Israel; who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord!" —Deuteronomy 33:29 He who affirms that Christianity makes men miserable is himself an utter stranger to it. It was strange if it made us wretched, for see to what a position it exalts us ! It makes us sons of God. Suppose that God will give all the happiness to his enemies and reserve all the mourning for his own family? Shall his foes have mirth and joy, and shall his home-born children inherit sorrow and wretchedness? Shall the sinner, who has no part in Christ, call himself rich in happiness, and shall we go mourning as if we were penniless beggars? No, we will rejoice in the Lord always and glory in our inheritance, for we "have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but we have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." The rod of chastisement must rest upon us in our measure, but it worketh for us t...

  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 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 not a promise in the Word which shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround thee let it be thy solace. This is thy Father’s love-token; thou art free to it at a...
