May God Bless You with unspeakable joy, not only in the world to come, but in this world also. May your path be bright and full of light everywhere you go. May God tell darkness that it must flee at your command. And, I pray your feet will never stumble out of God's plan. May the desires of your heart…

Butterfly A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could…

When you know a man, if he is your intimate friend, you trust him, you love him, you esteem him, you are on speaking terms with him. You not only bow to him in the street, but you go to his house, you sit down with him at his table. At other times, you hold counsel with him, or you ask his assistance.…

The Word of God gets at the very marrow of our manhood; it lays bare the secret thoughts of the soul. It is “able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart.” Have you not often, in hearing the Word, wondered how the preacher could so unveil that which you had concealed? He says the very things…

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. Would you eat all meat indiscriminately without tasting and testing its quality? If so, would you not soon be ill? Does a man take any drug that may…

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…

One says of Father Adam that he knew a great deal, and it was a pity that he did not know one thing more: namely, that he knew enough. For had he known that he knew enough, he would not have eaten of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You know enough when you believe. If you know…

Suppose you say to your little boy, “Don’t you know, Tommy, if I were not to give you your dinner and your supper you would die? There is nobody else to give Tommy dinner and supper.” What then? The child does not think that you are not going to give him his dinner and supper. He knows you will, and…

Have you never noticed how men get their senses clear through affliction? I read in the life of good Dr. Brown that when he first preached he heard two women at the door talking to one another about his sermon. One of them said to the other, “Ah! It was very well, but it was almost all tinsel.” A short…

Some of our teachers wanted us to learn the big doctrines first, and they did not like it because we could not at once see all the sublime truths of election and predestination. Certain of the old standards who are very orthodox expect all newborn babes to eat meat at once; as soon as ever a person is…

Trusting to our own judgment often means following our own whims. But faith seeks direction from infallible wisdom, and so it is led in a right way. God knows your capacity better than you do; ask Him to choose your inheritance for you. If the flowers were to revolt against the gardener, and each one…

I heard of a good man who went down the Rhine, but took care to read a book all the way for fear he should have his mind taken off heavenly topics by the beauties of nature. I confess I do not understand such a spirit—I do not want to. If I go into an artist’s house I do that artist a displeasure if…

When our Lord met the disciples at Emmaus and talked with them, they did not know Him while He talked with them. But when do you think they knew that they knew Him? It was not until they performed an act of obedience by offering hospitality to a stranger. Then He was known to them in the breaking of…

It would never do for weak eyes to have the full light of the sun pouring down upon them. Often, when men are faint and nearly dying of hunger, they would be killed outright if strong meat were at once set before them. They must be gently fed as they are able to bear it. So God, knowing the feebleness…

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…

In Pilgrim’s Progress, when Mr. Greatheart went with Miss Much-afraid and Mr. Feeble-mind on the road to the Celestial City, he had his hands full. He says of poor Mr. Feeble-mind that, when he came to the lions, he said, “Oh, the lions will have me!” And he was afraid of the giants, and afraid of everything…

When a young man comes to college he usually has much to unlearn. If his education has been neglected, a sort of instinctive ignorance covers his mind with briars and brambles. If he has gone to some faulty school where the teaching is flimsy, his tutor has first of all to fetch out of him what he has…

You might be the possessor of a large estate, and an adversary might contest your right to it, and you might not be able to find your title deeds. The estate might be yours clearly enough, but those deeds of yours might be mislaid and locked up in a forgotten drawer, and perhaps you might be sorely put…

Galatians 6:1 does not mean that we are to spy out our brother’s faults. There is a story of John Wesley going several times to a certain town where he thought that there was a band of earnest Christian people. But he was met by a brother who told him how dead they all were, what little life there was…

Faith is like a metalworker who is about to prepare some work of fine art, such as smiths used to produce in the days of wrought iron. Faith, like a strong and vigorous smith, has love as its arm. Faith does not lift a finger without love. Faith believes and resolves, and then it proceeds to action,…
