If we had accomplished obedience for twenty years, yet still, if in the next year we broke the law, we would come under its curse. A thief is not excused because he was honest beforehand, nor a murderer because previously he had not shed blood. A Methuselah would be under the law in his nine hundredth…

God’s law is not of variable quantity or quality depending upon the quantity or quality of the conscience; it is fixed and definite. It is just as if a man were to take prussic acid believing that it would benefit him—he would die, despite his conscience. Or it is as if a person were to walk northward…

The law ceases its office as pedagogue when it comes to be written on our hearts. Boys have their lessons on slates, but men have their laws in their minds. We trust a man where we would carefully watch a boy. When the child becomes a man, his father and mother do not write down little rules for him,…

You may have kept the law in many points, but if you have broken it in one, you are under its curse. If you want to send a message by the telegraphic wire, it may be perfectly sound for one hundred miles, but if it is only broken in one inch—not only that, but if it is simply cut across—you cannot send…

Did you ever know a boy without an excuse? I never did. I think I never knew a girl either. We all make excuses readily enough. But those rough, surly pedagogues always answered the boy’s idle apologies by giving the offender an extra stroke of the whip for daring to impose upon his guardian. That is…

I have read that, when the people of the State of Massachusetts wanted a set of laws, and they had not time to make them just then, they passed a resolution that they would be governed by the laws of God until they had time to make better ones. We may believe the doctrines revealed in the Word of God…

The law had its uses, blessed uses. The law should be used for its own purposes, and then it is admirable, it is divine. Take it out of its own proper use, make it a master instead of being a servant, and it is something like fire, which in your grate will comfort you, but if it masters you, it burns…

John Bunyan speaks of the law as coming to sweep a chamber like a maid with a broom. When she began to sweep there was a great dust that almost choked people and got into their eyes. But then came the gospel with its drops of water and laid the dust, and then the broom might be used far better. Now it…

This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston , Tennessee , by school Principal, Jody McLeod. "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."…

One nation under God was their cry and declaration, Upon the law of Nature’s God they built a mighty Nation. For Unlike Mankind before them who had walked this earthen sod, These men would never question the Sovereignty of God. That all men were “created was a truth “self-evident,” To secure the rights…

~~~ Here's to Mom! ~~~ My mother taught me IRONY - "Keep laughing and I'll give you something to cry about." My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE WHAT I HAVE - "It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick." My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE - "If you're going to kill each other…

Hell or Parental Responsibility What does God say to a little fellow growing up in a home? He says, “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord” ( Col. 3:20 ). But wait a minute—what if his parents don’t tell him to do the right things and don’t bring him up the…

There is the story of a preacher who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still in your pockets. ------------------------------------------------- While driving…

He who is dead is free from the law. Take a man who has been guilty of a capital offense: he is condemned to be hanged, he is hanged by the neck until he is dead—what more has the law to do with him? It has done with him, for it has executed its sentence upon him. If he can be brought back to life again…

FIRST PERSON - Religiously correct prayer: The secular left goes berserk By R. Albert Mohler Jr. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--As expected, the inaugural ceremonies for President George W. Bush opened and closed with prayer. Unexpectedly, the prayers have ignited controversy and unleashed a firestorm of histrionics…

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,…

The lawyer always says, “You had better be careful what you say, but when you go to law, never write anything. Hold back from the use of pen and ink, for that which is written remains.” When God writes His law in our hearts, He writes that which will never be blotted out. Once let Him take the pen in…

If children have learned a thing by heart, rather than merely by rote, they have made it their own, and it remains with them. A man with whom God the Holy Spirit deals is one who does not have to go to Exodus 20 to know what the law is. He does not need to stop and ask concerning most things, “Is this…

In a child of God there is a burning and a shining light that reveals the truth concerning sin. There is within him a something that cannot be silenced; this is that principle or power that John Bunyan calls in his Holy War, “Mr. Conscience, the Recorder of Mansoul.” You know that, when the city of Mansoul…

Christ has gone to heaven to put in an appearance on our behalf. As in a court of law, when a man appears by his attorney, or legal representative, he is in the court, even though he may be miles away. So are we, today, in possession of our eternal inheritance through Him, who has put in an appearance…

The first covenant was typical and shadowy. It was but a school lesson for children. Just as we give to our boys models of churches or models of ships, so was the ceremonial law a model of good things to come, but it did not contain the things themselves. Christ is no surety of a mere model or pattern…
