You never saw a fly on the dome of St. Paul’s; it would have been too small an object for you to see when walking around the cathedral. Now, a fly on the dome of St. Paul’s is a monstrous being, a marvelous individual, compared with you crawling about this world. It bears a much larger proportion to…

When I go to the sunny south in the winter for my health, I am advised by the physician to keep myself as much as possible in the sun. I am told to let my rooms look towards the sun rising and to keep clear of sunless streets and courts. This is the advice of wisdom, for if you lodge in rooms upon which…

A fair garden is before us. We look over the wall, and are even allowed to stand at the door while one hands out to us baskets of golden apples. This is very delightful. Who would not be glad to come so near as this to the garden of heavenly delights? Yet it is something more to be shown the door, to…

If you stand at the source of a great river like the Thames you see nothing there but a tiny rivulet, the fact being that we do but by courtesy speak of that little brook as the source of the river. It is only a very partial source; a great river derives its volume of water from a thousand streams and…

There are two gentlemen of equal rank in society, and the one is not at all obliged to the other. They, being equal, can easily feel a disinterested admiration for each other’s characters, and a consequent disinterested affection. If the love of disinterested admiration were required from a sinner, I…

You have seen a noble fountain in a city adorning a public square. See how the water leaps into the air; then it falls into a circular basin that fills and pours out its fullness into another lower down, and this again floods a third. Hear the merry splash as the waters fall in showers and cataracts…

Men will do far more from love than we might dare to ask as a matter of duty. Napoleon’s soldiers frequently achieved exploits under the influence of fervid attachment for him that no law could have required them to attempt. Had there been cold-blooded orders issued by some domineering officer who said,…

A child might point us to a bright mirror reflecting the sun, and he might cry, “In this is light!” You and I would say, “Poor child, that is only borrowed brightness. The light is not there, but in the sun.” The love of saints is nothing more than the reflection of the love of God. We have love, but…

Do you think that He who is willing to die is unwilling to apply the results of His passion? A man leaps into the water to bring out a drowning child. After he has brought the child alive on shore, if he happens to have a piece of bread in his pocket and the child needs it, do you think that he who rescued…

You begin to read a will, but you do not find it interesting. It is full of words and terms that you do not take the trouble to understand because they have no relation to yourself. But if you should, in reading that will, come upon a clause in which an estate is left to you, the nature of the whole…

Faith, as soon as it opens its mouth, begins to make a personal appropriation of the blessings of the grace of God. What do you do when you come to the communion table? Do you come there to see other people eat bread and drink wine? No. In communion, each of you eats, and each of you drinks, and that…

Think what an injury and injustice would be inflicted upon all the honest men in London if the thieves were never punished for their roguery. It would be making the innocent suffer if you allowed the guilty to escape. God, therefore, not out of arbitrary choice, but from necessity of rightness, must…

If some poor girl were suddenly called away from the milk pail and lifted from poverty and hard servitude to be the bride of a prince, the very thought of it would bring the crimson to her cheeks. “Can it be!” she would say. I can imagine that when she was brought to court there would be a noticeable…

If you have visited the picture galleries at Versailles, where you see the wars of France from the earliest ages set forth in glowing colors upon the canvas, you cannot but have been struck with the pictures and interested in the terrible scenes. Upstairs in the same palace there is a vast collection…

If a mistress has a large number of maids, somebody might ask them, “What kind of mistress do you have?” They might all say, “Oh, she is a most delightful person,” and so on, because they were afraid to speak the truth. But if there should be a dozen of them, eventually one would be found in the street…

A tree of common fruit may be let alone so long as there is some little fruit on it, but the very best fruit gets the sharpest pruning. I have noticed that in those countries where the best wine is made, the vinedressers cut the shoots right close in, and in the winter you cannot tell that there is a…

God the Architect Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1a Recommend Reading Psalm 127 Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the twentieth century's most well-known architects, practiced "organic architecture" - designs that flow out of and reflect the context of their environment.…

God's Grace - A Free Gift For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 When a person works an eight-hour day and receives a fair day's pay for his time, that is a wage. When a person receives recognition for his achievements, that is…

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 beautiful spirit worthy of a Christian was that of a man who found his horse in the pound one day. The farmer who put it in said, “I found your horse in my field, and I put it in the pound. If I ever catch it there again, I’ll put it in again.” “Well,” replied the other, “I found six of your cows in…

SHARING YOUR FAITH IS NOT HARD Typically, a person wants to tell everyone about a gift he or she received. Yet many people treat salvation like it's some kind of secret. They know what a wonderful thing they have but they're reluctant to tell others. * Sharing is called many things. The Bible calls sharing…

God recently allowed me to see Jesus through the eyes of someone seeing Him for the first time. Having the advantage of knowing how the story ends, we can easily forget the cost of our redemption and the love of
our Savior.
