Resource Manager Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 26 June 2014"In its diction nothing could be simpler than the statement 'He that hath the Son hath life'. It is a truth to ponder upon, to weigh in the mind, to return to again and again, to carry with one through all the perplexities and uncertainties of this mortal life, to call to remembrance in moments of crisis and decision, to rest upon in the less dramatic routine of daily living. It is as powerful in its positive assurance as it is ominous in its warning. It sets before us with luminous clarity and sharpness of definition the purpose and final meaning of our existence, the ultimate issues of life and death, of time and eternity: “He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."- Neville SmartThe First Epistle of John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 27 June 2014"... we have been called to an eternal inheritance; whilst the world and the fashion of it fades away and its attractions perish with the using, the true believer has lost his identity as a son of Adam and shares the life of One who is alive for evermore, and so he rests in the promise that “he that doeth the will of God abideth forever”. So, although the world may hate the disciple, even as it hates his Master, and although if he remains faithful he will be subjected to pressures of all kinds and suffer many things, he will rejoice in his conflict because his life is lived in the context of eternity and he will realise with Paul that “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18).- Melva PurkisThe Christian and the World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 28 June 2014"When Jesus says “Have faith in God,” he is not asking the impossible. He is asking us to look at our lives and find out what things we trust. When we realise where we have put our faith, he asks us to transfer it. “Have faith IN GOD,” he says. God is more deserving of our confidence than anything or anyone else."- John S. RobertsThe Bible, The Lord Jesus and You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 29 June 2014"Walk humbly with thy God". This passage falls into perfect harmony with the idea of preparation by all things. If a man walks humbly with his God in all his progress through life, he is at all times under divine guidance and influence. Whether in sorrow or joy, at work or play, his experiences can thus help to prepare him for the more complete manifestation which is to come."- Islip CollyerConviction and Conduct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 30 June 2014"There is something profoundly moving in ... thinking about eternity, and it must be counted the greatest treasure and experience of our lives that prophets should have been inspired to write for our learning of things and visions which reveal horizons beyond the ken of natural man, and the more the pity that our age and our kind of civilization leaves us little time to sit still "to hear the word of the Lord".- John MarshallReflections on the Way (1960) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
