There is a river flowing along in a gentle slope toward the sea. A boatman is upon it. His vessel is here, then it is there, and soon it will be at the river’s mouth. Only that part of the river upon which he is sailing is present to him. But up yonder, on a lofty mountain, stands a traveler. As he looks…

BIBLE MEDITATION: “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy.” Isaiah 57:15 DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain” ( Exodus 20:7 ).

When I was visiting one of our sick friends he uttered a sentence that stuck to me. He said, “I have had some education for heaven in attending the Metropolitan Tabernacle.” “How is that?” “Because I have been used to worship with a great company of godly people, used to join in the songs of great multitudes,…

Americans Believe in Heaven and Hell I believe John Lennon was wrong. I believe that heaven and hell are real places and that each of us will spend eternity in one place or the other. Interestingly, recent polls show that I'm not alone in that belief. A 1991 survey commissioned by U.S. News and World…

I like the remark of the people who were requested to accept a Universalist as a minister. They said, “You have come to tell us that there is no hell. If your doctrine is true, we certainly do not need you; and if it is not true, we do not want you. Either way, we can do without you.” It is a most dreadful…

In some of the houses not far from here, I noticed some linnets in cages, in which there were tufts of grass or small branches of trees as perches for the poor prisoners; yet they were singing away right merrily. I suppose that grass and those fragments of trees were meant to remind them, in this great,…

A Revolutionary Response to God By the mercies of God . . . present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. Romans 12:1 Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, was the one who said the earth revolved around the sun, not vice versa. As revolutionary as the thoughts of Copernicus were…

A “richly supplied” entrance has sometimes been illustrated in this way. You see yonder ship. After a long voyage, it has neared the haven, but is much injured; the sails are rent to ribbons, and it is in such a forlorn condition that it cannot come up to the harbor: a steam-tug is pulling it in with…

At present, it is with us as it is with the world during the winter. If you had not seen the miracle wrought again and again, you would not guess, when you look upon those black beds in the garden, or when you walk over that snowy and frosty covering, crisp and hard beneath your feet, that the earth…

A man goes to work to make money, and after toiling hard for it he gets it and it is a consolation to him. But it is not an everlasting consolation, for he may spend or he may lose all his money. He may invest it in some company (limited or unlimited) and very soon find it vanish or he may be compelled…

If you would get a fair estimate of the happiness of any man, you must judge him in these two closely connected things: his life and his death. The heathen Solon said, “Call no man happy until he is dead, for you do not know what changes may pass upon him in life.” We add to that, “Call no man happy…

In every work we undertake, it is most important that we should act on right principles. If we are misled upon essential points, our efforts will be wasted, since success cannot possibly be the result. A man may study the stars as long as he pleases, but he certainly will not come to right conclusions…

I have heard of a certain king who had a jester or “fool” to make fun for him, as kings used to have. But this “fool” was no fool; he had much sense, and he had thought wisely about eternal matters. One day, when he had greatly pleased the king, his majesty gave him a stick, and said to him, “Tom, there…
