- Second, if you want to understand this keeping, remember that it is not only an all-inclusive keeping, but it is an almighty keeping. I want to get that truth burned into my soul; I want to worship God until my whole heart is filled with the thought...
- The wisdom of the fathers...Some people think that they never can get so far as that every word of their mouth should be to the glory of God. But it is what God wants of them, it is what God expects of them. God is willing to set a watch at the door...

- A young child may be the perfect image of his father. There may be a great difference in age, in stature, in power, and yet the resemblance may be so striking that every one notices it. And so a child of God, though infinitely less, may yet bear the...
- The wisdom of the fathersHow perfectly chilling and horrible for persons to oppose the idea of expecting deliverance from sin and yet talk calmly of going on in sin all the rest of their earthly days!As an elder whom I knew rose in meeting and told...
- If the cross of Jesus Christ means what it should to us and we know that we must carry it and die on it and then rise and live above it, we will have a constant desire to advance and gain spiritual ground. The nervous people who want to put on the...
- “For this reason be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matt. 5: 48.Perfect before God, perfect with God, perfect towards God: these are the expressions we find in the Old Testament. They all indicate a relationship:The choice or...
- The wisdom of the fathers Why do Brothers, who agree with me on the central truth of salvation, take up a completely negative attitude, regarding the Philadelphia-Church and the 12 Marks of Perfect Submission?Answer: Man is, as the image of God,...
- We saw how the chief mark of this perfect heart is reliance upon God. God looks for men who trust Him fully; in them He will show His power. God is a Being of Infinite and Incomprehensible Glory and Power. Our mind can form no right conception of...
