Resource Manager Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 26 May 2016 "We have not seen the Lord but have been blessed because we have been brought to believe in him (John 20:29); and as the apostle Peter says, "Without having seen him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy" (1 Peter 1:8, R.S.V.). The apostle John reminds us that we are now the sons of God, and that when the Lord returns "we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is". But with this reminder of our hope of becoming partakers of the divine nature John also reminds us that "every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself" (1 John 3:23)." - Spencer L.

Resource Manager Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 27 May 2016 "Instead of looking at life as if we were magnificently part of this vast purpose, we usually live as if we were onlookers of a passing scene, whereas we are, in truth, working with God to make history. Thus the Father’s business should invade every aspect and activity of our lives so that we may develop the qualities which will fit us to become the kings and priests who are to rule over the social and religious orders of the Kingdom." - John MarshallReflections on the Way (1960) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 28 May 2016 "Let us then present the whole counsel of God, as the message for today, with the earnest conviction of those who know a proper understanding of God’s truth to be vital, and with the dedication of those who are first living aright before God, and then preaching His Word. Let the Word regulate our own behaviour, and then let us present it to all who will hear, as that which seeks both to inform and transform the hearer. Thus we may, by God’s grace, help the palsied to walk and aid the infirm, that we may walk together along the way ahead towards Zion." - Tecwyn MorganThe Way Ahead (1981) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 29 May 2016"Study is a meditation upon the word of God and an application in daily life of the lessons that are learned from it. It is not an intellectual exercise, it is a work to which all servants of God are called that we all might be approved before God."- Peter ForbesMaking Bible Study Enjoyable (1996) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 30 May 2016 "The promise of the life of the saint holds glorious possibilities, and the scriptures were written not only for our learning and instruction, but so that we could recognize the kind of truth and the quality of personality that are pleasing to the Father. We should ever be grateful to the apostle Paul for so vividly and so courageously recalling us to the essential nature of our life, and the proper direction of our work." - John MarshallPortrait of the Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 31 May 2016 "Let us bear in mind that when the body is changed and becomes the vehicle of eternal life, there is something more than a physical transformation. There is an accompanying psychological change. The individual is delivered from the temptations, the tensions and frustration of our present existence. Christ himself made full acquaintence with anguish and travail of soul (See Matthew 26:37,3—in N.E.B.). The morning of resurrection brought the sweetness of full release." - T.J.
