This warm devotional commentary explores Ephesians’ fifteen key themes of the inner life, including the Father, living in Christ, love, the Holy Spirit, the power of God, the church, our walk, and the Christian’s armor. F.B. Meyer’s concern that Christian principles should challenge and affect every area of our daily walk shines through in his writing. “The Epistle to the Ephesians,” Meyer said, “is pre-eminently the Epistle of the Inner Life. . . . And as we weave [the key words of Ephesi...

The chapters in this little book might be called “Work-a-day Sermons.” They are intended to bring the highest principles of our holy religion to bear on the practical business of every-day life.Probably all our sermons should have more of this element in them. 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 ...

One of the most popular legends of Brittany is that relating to an imaginary town called Is (pronounced Iss), which is supposed to have been swallowed up by the sea at some unknown time. There are several places along the coast which are pointed out as the site of this imaginary city, and the fishermen have many strange tales to tell of it.According to them the tips of the spires of the churches may be seen in the hollow of the waves when the sea is rough, while during a calm the m...

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...

"Altogether it is a book that should be required reading for any student of music, be he composer, performer, or theorist.

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, ...

“On whom the ends of the ages are come”—i. e., the end of one age and the beginning of another. Such is our position to-day. In every direction the old order is giving place to the new. It was thus in the days of the Primitive Church, when the typical institutions of the Levitical system were being replaced by “the heavenly things themselves.” And it was also thus at the time when our narrative begins. The story of Samuel is a divine interlude between the days of the Judges and those of Da...
