It is very necessary sometimes to ask, especially at the beginning of our Christian life, if we are really right¬—there are so many counterfeits in the world and the church, and when once we have received the stamp and imprimatur of some Christian body, we are apt to trust it as decisive in all after time, so that when appeals are addressed to the unconverted and halting, we at once pass them off to others, feeling sure that they cannot apply to ourselves. How often do souls sit in a very ...

The Epistles of the New Testament are admirable specimens of the blending of the doctrinal and practical. We are shown how to apply the loftiest principles to the solution of every-day problems. People are not apt to do this ...

He would save them from their enemies and cleanse them from sin.Zechariah’s prophecy of the coming Messiah would later serve the apostles as an explanation for the suffering, ...

Many children of God are so deeply exercised on the matter of guidance that it may be helpful to give a few suggestions as to knowing the way in which our Father would have us walk, and the work He would have us do. The importance of the subject cannot be exaggerated; so much of our power and peace consists in knowing where God would have us be, and in being just there.

There are certain practical directions which we must attend to in order that we may be led into the mind of the Lord.The Psalms are full of earnest pleadings for clear direction: "Show me Thy way, 0 Lord, lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies." It is the law of our Father's house that His children shall ask for what they want. "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not." In a time of change and crisis, we need to be m...

A study of the Biblical figure John the Baptist by the Reverend Frederick Brotherton Meyer, a Baptist pastor.From the author's preface:The life and character of John the Baptist have always had a great fascination for me; and I am thankful to have been permitted to write this book.

Peter comes nearer to us than any of his brother Apostles. We revere James, the brother of our Lord, for his austere saintliness. We strain our eyes in the effort to follow John to the serene heights, whither his eagle-wing bore him. But Peter is so human, so like ourselves in his downsittings and uprisings, so compassed with infirmity, that we are encouraged to hope that perhaps the Great Potter may be able to make something even of our common clay.When walking over his farmstead with a f...
