Resource Manager Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 26 February 2015 "The acceptable of the earth are the humble ones for they are not ashamed or afraid to "seek meekness", trusting in His mercy that they will be "hid" as treasure in the day of His wrath. Their confidence is based on the conviction that "The LORD your God in the middle of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)." - Fred Pearce From Hosea to Zephaniah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 27 February 2015 "There are many things in the Scriptures which are beyond the scope of finite minds fully to comprehend. The work of creation and the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ are cases in point. In such areas as these it is a question of accepting the facts as they are revealed and not seeking to explain that which is left unexplained. We must accept in faith that which has been made known for our learning and at the same time recognise our own limitations in all humility of mind (Psalm 131:1)." - R.

Resource Manager Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 28 February 2015 "The believer in the Bible does not fear examination of the Bible. It has its own endorsement for him, based upon his knowledge of it: and in that confidence no trial of the Bible is dreaded—the most far-reaching criticism has not proved it to be other than what it claims. "Thy word is truth", said Jesus: the follower of Jesus accepts these words as true, and finds them to be true; but James Orr has truly said: "It is the Nemesis of a wrong starting-point in every department of inquiry that those who adopt it find themselves plunged, as they proceed, into ever-deepening error and confusion; while a right guiding idea as infallibly conducts to a view marked by simplicity and truth." - John CarterOracles of God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
