  • EVERY TRIAL MUST BE BORNE FOR THE SAKE OF ETERNAL LIFE

    Imitation of Christ THE VOICE OF CHRIST MY CHILD, do not let the labors which you have taken up for My sake break you, and do not let troubles, from whatever source, cast you down; but in everything let My promise strengthen and console you. I am able to reward you beyond all means and…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    No promise is of private interpretation. Whatever God has said to any one saint, he has said to all. When he opens a well for one, it is that all may drink. When he openeth a granary-door to give out food, there may be some one starving man who is the occasion of its being…

  • GRACE AMONG THE GRAPHIC

  • TRUST IN GOD AGAINST SLANDER

    Imitation of Christ THE VOICE OF CHRIST MY CHILD, stand firm and trust in Me. For what are words but words? They fly through the air but hurt not a stone. If you are guilty, consider how you would gladly amend. If you are not conscious of any fault, think that you wish to bear…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God’s covenant? Will not the distresses of life…

  • DANGER IN THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE

    Connect the TestamentsLeviticus 7:1-8:36; John 7:45-52; Song of Solomon 6:1-5 Leadership is like a bright spotlight; when the heat intensifies, it’s difficult to conceal the areas where we fail. But that’s where true character is revealed. The Pharisees didn’t fare well with the pressure of authority. We can see why Jesus had such compassion for…

  • ALL MEN ARE NOT TO BE BELIEVED, FOR IT IS EASY TO ERR IN SPEECH

    Imitation of Christ THE DISCIPLE GRANT me help in my needs, O Lord, for the aid of man is useless. How often have I failed to find faithfulness in places where I thought I possessed it! And how many times I have found it where I least expected it! Vain, therefore, is hope in men,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    And who comforteth like him? Go to some poor, melancholy, distressed child of God; tell him sweet promises, and whisper in his ear choice words of comfort; he is like the deaf adder, he listens not to the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely. He is drinking gall and wormwood, and comfort…

  • ANCIENT WORDS, FUTURE HOPE

    Connect The TestamentsLeviticus 4:1-6:30; John 7:14-44; Song of Solomon 5:13-16 Atonement is appealing because we all have relationships we wish we could reconcile. The 12-step program involves forgiving and forging renewed relationships when possible. But the story with God is different. There’s an acute awareness that we can’t fix things with our Creator; we need…

  • DO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT OUTWARD THINGS

    Imitation of Christ THE VOICE OF CHRIST MY CHILD, there are many matters of which it is well for you to be ignorant, and to consider yourself as one who is dead upon the earth and to whom the whole world is crucified. There are many things, too, which it is well to pass by…
