Let Others Be Great; Only Let Me Be Pure!
 
"A minister
should so live, that if all his people should closely follow his example, their
salvation would be secure, and they would make the highest possible attainments
in piety." - Barnes' Notes "God is holy, and what is
true of God must be true of His people. Holiness carries the thought of being
separated from the ungodly ways of the world and set apart for love, service,
and worship...

Where The Word Of God Is - There You Will Find The
Shechinah
 
"In whatever
place the Law (Word of God) is, there the Shechinah is present with it."

Himself; and in that church or religious (Christian) society where the truth of
God is proclaimed and conscientiously believed, there is the constant dwelling
of God." - both quotes are from Adam Clarke "He that
loves God loves His...

 
Christian Wasps & Tigers
 
"It is
easier for most men to walk with a perfect heart in the Church, or even in the
world, than in their own families. How many are as meek as lambs among others,
when at home they are wasps or tigers!" - Adam Clarke "How we behave - not
how we talk, think, profess, desire, but how we behave - is the all-important
thing. That is what men will judge us by, and by...

The
Gates Of Hell Cannot Prevail Against God's Shadow
 
 
"The famous Zaman
tree in Venezuela, though not unusual in height or girth, had an enormous branch
spread which yielded a shade with a circumference of 614 feet (and every bough
was festooned with orchids). A sycamore in Indiana with a height of 150 feet and
a girth of over 42 feet has been called the largest shade tree in

How To Wander Away From God

matter what you think or know, unless it leads you to glorify God, and to be
thankful." - Biblical Illustrator - New Testament Don't
you just love the Bible? It teaches us what to do and it also teaches us what
not to do. If you are any bit concerned about wandering away from God -

From Humiliation To Exaltation
 
"Here is a
most remarkable expression: Jesus has conquered, and is set down with the FATHER
upon the Father's throne; he who conquers through Christ sits down with Christ
upon His throne: but Christ's throne and the throne of the Father is the same;

to sit! How astonishing is this state of exaltation! The dignity and grandeur of
it who...

  Are You Able To Approach God As A Prince?

God Will
Not Have A Reckless & Impulsive People
 
Are you
generally a person who sticks at nothing, plays with fire, walks on thin ice,
takes a leap in the dark, clutches at straws, leans on a broken reed, throws
caution to the wind, puts all your eggs in one basket, and tempts Providence?
Then you are a rash person. The Holy Spirit wants to impart His Wisdom into your
life today through His Word, changing you into a...

 
This Type Of Devotion
 
 
 "Self-sacrifice is the high-water mark of love." - Robertson's Word
Pictures  "The greatest example of human self-sacrifice was for a man
to die for his friends. The disciples of Christ are called to this type of

lives in untiring service to the people of God." - Believer's Bible Commentary
                                        
"No man can carry his love for his friend farther than...

thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the

A
People Who Turn God's Stomach
 
 
Did you know that
God, at times, gets very offended with a certain type of people? In fact, He
becomes nauseated, indignant, disgusted, and exceedingly displeased with them -
having a strong abhorrence of their conduct and ways. Who could they possibly
be? What does the Bible say? Are you one of them?
 The Scriptures tell us in Hebrews 3:10 that God
was "grieved" with an entire generation. How can this be? For what...

 
 
 Come Back To Christ, O My Soul
 
"It is a good sign
that God is coming towards a people in ways of mercy when they begin to be
tenderly affected under His hand." - Matthew Henry God
is the center of all life, peace, fulfillment, and happiness. Hence, it is only
in connection with Him that the soul can find perfect rest. As soon as it
separates itself from this "Central Point" through sin, it experiences violent
agitation, misery, distrust,...

 
 A
Picture Of God We Cannot Ignore
 
 
"Those who will not
hear the comfortable voice of God's Word shall be made to hear the dreadful
voice of His rod." "Those who will not observe the judgments of God's
mouth shall not escape the judgments of His hand." - Matthew Henry
