Food for Thought
Give God what is right, not what is left.
A family altar can alter a family
A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing
God loves to answer 'knee-mails'.
‑ Keswick Calendar
God dwells in perfect peace because of his ability to see the end from the beginning, and because of his power to accomplish that which He designed to perform.
All the studying we may do will not make us disciples; only taking up the cross can do this. We can learn a lot from books but following him is the vital thing.
'Are you
having trouble with 'truth-decay'? Brush up on your Bible'
‑ Jim Watson
Avoid the spirit of faultfinding, criticism, uncharitabless, and anything inconsistent with His perfect love. Go where He is most likely to be found, either where two or three of His children are gathered, or where the lost sheep is straying. Ask Him to wake you morning by morning for communion and Bible Study Make other times in the day when you shall get alone with Him, telling Him all things, and reviewing the past under the gentle light that streams from His eyes.
('The Quiet Time reprinted from BSM Dec 1937)
It is not outward circumstances that
form or give interest to a home or family, it is the living pulse of affection
that is beating there. Neither earthly pomp nor earthly poverty can alter the
real inward character of that little circle of human hearts that man calls the
family. Bright skies and sunshine cannot weaken or sever the bond neither can
they allure them away from rejoicing in each other's joy and love. Dark days and
tempest cannot sunder them; they make them gather more closely together as being
all in all to each other. So it is with the family of the Redeemed. It is not
their outward circumstances and prospects that give them the name, it is far
deeper and more tender than these; the pulse of heavenly affection throbbing
through every member and coming down from the infinite heart above. It is this
that makes them what they are. It is under this aspect that God delights to look
upon them and it is for this reason especially that He has given to them the
name they bear.
