One reason God has a poor people is so that He may display more the power of His comforting promises and the supports of the gospel. “There,” says the architect, “this building is strong.” Yes, but it must be tested: Let the wind blow against it. There is a lighthouse out at sea, but it is a calm night—I…

These are great....and should be everywhere...Some new billboards are getting attention in Cleveland. Some reported seeing one or two messages, but the newspaper listed all of them. Here's a list of all variations of the "God Speaks" billboards. The billboards are a simple black background with white…

Taste is a test as to things to be eaten. We prove and try an article of food by tasting it. He who goes to the market to buy cheese draws out a piece and eats it that he may judge of the bulk by the taste. So it is with anything the value of which depends upon the flavor: it has to be tasted that it…

Especially at this present time it is incumbent upon Christians to learn how to use the discerning faculty with regard to what is, and what is not, truth.

When a ship first leaves the stocks it is well for it to go on a trial trip, but to have a ship always being tried would be very absurd.

A man may fancy that he is prospering in business, and yet he may be going back in the world. If he does not face his books or take stock, he may be living in a fool’s paradise, spending largely when on the verge of bankruptcy. Many think well of themselves because they never think seriously. They do…

I remember well going to speak to the minister and telling him that I hoped I had found the Savior, and begging him to ask me such questions as he thought fit to test me.

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…

What strength holy living in his people gives to the preacher of the word of God! Imagine a man comes before you and says, “There is, somewhere about here, an invisible lake, containing the purest, coolest, and most refreshing water that you ever drank. You never saw water so pure and delicious.” We…

How many Christians are like the miser who never feels sure about the safety of his money, even though he has locked up the iron safe, and secured the room in which he keeps it, and locked up the house, and bolted and barred every door! In the dead of night, he thinks he hears a footstep, and tremblingly…
