People can tell lies when they hold their tongues. There was a little girl at school who always held her hand up when the boys and girls were asked to show that they knew the answer to any question that had been put to them. One afternoon she held her hand up when she did not know the answer, and a classmate…

Do you not know that plain dealing is more precious than rubies? Would you not say to your physician, “Put me under the severest examination, and let me know the truth”? Would you pay him a fee so that he might deceive you? As to your soul, do you not desire to know the very worst of your case? If you…

~ D E A T H ~ WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not…

THE LORD'S PRAYER (Could be a skit for worship) Rather cleverly done. This is in two parts, The Prayer (in blue or black type) and GOD (in red type) in response. It is very, very good. ********** Our Father Who Art In Heaven. Yes? Don't interrupt me. I'm praying. But -- you called ME! Called you? No,…

The swallow dips his wing into the brook, and then he is up again into the skies, soaring toward the sun. The duck can swim in the pool or dive under the water—it is in its element. So the Christian just sometimes touches with his wing the streams of earth, but then he is up again where he should be.…

A stone thrown about from hand to hand is self-contained and independent, but when the mason puts it on the foundation it is dependent. It leans on the cornerstone upon which it is placed. Poor tempted soul, that is just what you have to do. You must not be a loose stone resting on yourself and tossed…

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…

All that is of nature’s spinning must be unraveled. The natural building must come down, lath and plaster, roof and foundation, and we must have a house not made with hands. It was a great mercy for our city of London that the great fire cleared away all the old buildings that were the lair of the plague;…

Plants unknown in certain regions have suddenly sprung from the soil: the seeds have been wafted on the winds, carried by birds, or washed ashore by the waves of the sea. So vital are seeds that they live and grow wherever they are borne; and even after lying deep in the soil for centuries, when the…

When I go to bed at night and say to myself, “Did I lock the door?” I am not content to lie there and say, “I hope and trust that I did.” There may be a thief in the garden, so it will not be safe for me to “hope and trust” that all doors and windows are properly fastened. We like to be sure about these…

I remember talking once to a lady who assured me again and again that she prayed daily for me that I might be kept humble. I told her that I would pray the same prayer for her. When she said, “Oh, I am never tempted to be proud,” I replied, “Well, dear friend, I am afraid you are very far gone in that…

I can use no better illustration than the distinction between fainting and dying. There lies a young creature; she can scarcely breathe; she cannot herself lift up her hand, and if lifted up by anyone else, it falls. She is cold and stiff; she is faint, but not dead. There is another one, just as cold…

Michael Faraday said that there was enough latent electricity in a single drop of water for an ordinary flash of lightning. What reserves of destructive force there must be in and around the globe! God’s dreadful armies lie in ambush everywhere; what if I say God’s bodyguard is sleeping in His guard…

There is a little mischief in the village about Miss A or Mr. B, and Mrs. Tittle-tattle is up as early as possible, and calls on Mrs. Scandal, and says, “Have you heard the sad news? I hope it is not true.” “No, I have not heard it.” “Well, don’t mention it to anybody else. I hope it is not correct,…

If any of you should be well assured that, in a certain line of business, you would make a vast sum of money, would that confidence lead you to refuse that business? Would it lead you to lie in bed all day, or to desert your post altogether? No, the assurance that you would be diligent and would prosper…

I suppose that when the stones for the temple were quarried in the mountains, each one received a special mark from Solomon’s seal, marking it as a temple stone and perhaps denoting its place in the sacred edifice. This would be like the first inscription, “The Lord knows those who are his.” But the…

Familiarity with Christ soon begets congeniality of disposition and spirit, for those who are much with Christ become much like Christ. He who lies on a bed of spices will naturally find his garments smell of the same. A mirror upon which the sun is shining is bright itself and flashes its reflected…

Suppose there is a fire in the upper room of a house and the people gather in the street. A child is in the upper story; how is he to escape? He cannot leap down—he would be dashed to pieces. A strong man comes beneath, and cries, “Drop into my arms.” It is a part of faith to know that the man is there;…

There was a crest and motto that some of the old Reformers used to use, and that I commend to any of you who are under trial. It was an anvil with a number of hammers, all broken, lying around; and this was the motto when translated, “The anvil breaks many hammers.” And how does it do this? Not by striking:…

Turn to Acts 12, where you have the record of Peter lying asleep in the prison, watched by soldiers. And yet at the dead of night, an angel of the Lord came into the prison, smote Peter on the side, bade him bind on his sandals and gird himself, and follow him. Peter went through all the doors of the…
