At all times, let us have in our minds the overwhelming love of God for us sinners and let each one of us be more prepared to show that quality of self sacrificing love towards others: "For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:7-8) - Trevor A.

Resource Manager Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 04 February 2021"... the Word of God is a lamp, a candle, a clear bright point of light which illumines our spiritual lives. Compared with the lights which flood our homes, the candle of the Lord’s commandment may sometimes appear to shed a very little light; but it can penetrate the deep recesses of our lives and illuminate our way. It focuses our vision; it outshines distracting images; God’s Word is truly a lamp to our feet." - John MorrisThe Commandment Is a Lamp (1993) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resource Manager Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 09 February 2021"One is a beginning. Indeed, it was the beginning, for all things spring from the one God. Such, too, was the beginning of the human race. Paul gave emphasis to this on Mars Hill when he declared: "God ... made of one every nation of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth" (Acts 17:26, R.V.). From one man all men have come, and all share the one’s blessings and cursings. And so with the new creation. There was one new man when Christ our Lord was glorified in immortality. He remains the unique, the first, the one Lord who still awaits the day of meeting with his brethren. The black heavens hold one star, the Star of Jacob, and we wait in faith for the day when he shall be joined by a numberless host of radiant orbs whose eternal light will show forth the praises of the Father of lights and His Son, the light of the world." - Harry TennantOne (1963) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we appreciate them? Do we understand their amazing implications? The true children of God will feel constrained to say: “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)." - Peter WatkinsThe Danger of Unbelief (1977) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 11 February 2021 "Our salvation depends in the first instance on God seeing that which was not secret, nor done in secret. This principle was shown on Passover night: “When he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you” (Exodus 12:23), Moses told Israel as they prepared for the Exodus. The atonement made for us by Christ with his shed blood is our shield of righteousness in the Almighty’s presence. This is why we can only draw nigh to God through him. Those who draw nigh in full assurance of faith now, will find that besides God seeing them, they themselves will see God. They who are Abraham’s seed—who himself rejoiced to see Christ’s day, saw it and was glad—will with faithful Abraham “See his face”.

Resource Manager Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 15 February 2021 "Thought is the most personal thing about us. No other human being is acquainted with our thoughts except in so far as we choose to reveal them. Thought is personal; it is also swift and “leaps like flame”. We may also add that thought is often disordered, undisciplined and undirected. Perhaps it is the hardest thing in the world to control. The Apostle James said that if a man “offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3:2). The control of thought is even harder, and in fact we know that we must be satisfied with something less. But it remains true that we must strive to be master of our thought, for unless we can master our thoughts we shall never master ourselves. The extent to which we are successful in this most fundamental of problems will determine the kind of persons we are, for “as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7)." - H.

Resource Manager Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 16 February 2021"Perfect knowledge of God can only be obtained by those who eventually become partakers of the Divine nature, and share the life of God in the very fullest sense. But we today by our way of life, can illustrate that we are growing in that knowledge. It is the only effective way of declaring our desire for eternal life, for if we have developed no abiding traits of character then in effect we are telling God that we are not really interested in the life He offers us. We might want to live for ever, but we do not want to live the life of God. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). To have that perfect knowledge, or as John puts it, to “see him as he is”, is to be like him. It is a glorious prospect: “And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 3:3)." - A.D. FifieldDo You Want Eternal Life?

Resource Manager Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 17 February 2021"We are a very diverse group of people differing greatly in all our natural characteristics. In the ordinary course few of us would probably be associated together. What is it that can unite such different personalities? It must be something that overrides our differences. The apostle Jude puts his finger on the spot when he says: “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” That common salvation, the great faith and hope which we all share, that is the bond that brings us together." - A.L.

Resource Manager Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 19 February 2021"We cannot read the account of this sacred experience without a sense of gratitude that we have been allowed a glimpse of that night of destiny. Our reverence and awe should be too deep to allow us to discuss its nature. We have seen what the disciples saw. We dare not seek to know what Jesus saw and heard. With Peter we “wist not what to say”, for the brightness of the glory fills our hearts. But we can understand the effect of this night of wonder. For Jesus surely it was an experience of the joy that was set before him. It was a renewed anointing for his death, to the glory of his Father and the redemption of all mankind. The disciples would feel that nothing could ever be the same again ... John would remember that moment as he looked up at the bowed head covered with blood and sweat. Peter would remember it after he had cried, “I never knew him”, and would go out into the night and sob as though his heart must break." - Melva PurkisA Life of Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We too live in a world of uncertainty and instability, rent by war, torn by suspicion and corrupted by indiscipline—a world that has lost all sense of the absolute and the secure. Its true prophets, speaking from God’s Word, tell us in like terms of a new age to dawn, of a world ruler who will bring peace and hope and joy to the earth. Yet even now the same crying needs of our human hearts, our fears, our doubts, our sadness, our despair can be answered and satisfied in the light which first shone from a babe in a manger, glowed from a life of love, of pain and of death and now pours from the living presence of Jesus in Heaven." - S.
