Jesus Christ Is Lord † In the light there is no night † John 8:12

[DailyBread @BlessedByBread]

To know Him is a life long poem. One syllable at a time, searching for that line binding rhyme.

”In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.“
Proverbs 3:6 NKJV

@oliverburdick Do not be deceived by the current sentiment of antisemitism. The devil hates both the jews and christians. God won’t overlook anyones sins, but it is God who will judge his people in perfect righteousness. Read your bible, Hezekiel, Isaiah, Zechariah, Jeremiah concerning this.

Every believer has a watchman’s place appointed him in the matter of prayer, and he is bound not to be silent, but to give the Lord no rest till he establish and make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

To Those Who Have The Holy Spirit by J.C. Ryle

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. -Ephesians 3:16-17

Let me give a word of exhortation to all readers of this who have received the Spirit of Christ, to the penitent, the believing, the holy, the praying, the lovers of the Word of God. Be filled with the Spirit. Seek to be more and more under His blessed influence. Strive to have every thought, and word, and action, and habit, brought under obedience to the leadings of the Holy Spirit. Grieve Him not by inconsistencies and conformity to the world.

Quench Him not by trifling with little infirmities and small besetting sins. Seek rather to have Him ruling and reigning more completely over you every week that you live. Pray that you may yearly grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ. This is the way to do good to the world. An eminent Christian is a light-house, seen far and wide by others, and doing good to myriads, whom he never knows. This is the way to enjoy much inward comfort in this world, to have bright assurance in death, to leave broad evidences behind us, and at last to receive a great crown.

Finally, pray daily for a great outpouring of the Spirit on the Church and on the world. This is the grand need of the day, it is the thing that we need far more than money, machinery, and men. The "company of preachers" in Christendom is far greater than it was in the days of Paul; but the actual spiritual work done in the earth, in proportion to the means used, is undoubtedly far less. We need more of the presence of the Holy Spirit, more in the pulpit, and more in the congregation, more in the pastoral visit, and more in the school. Where He is, there will be life, health, growth, and fruitfulness. Where He is not, all will be dead, tame, formal, sleepy, and cold. Then let everyone who desires to see an increase of pure and undefiled religion, pray daily for more of the presence of the Holy Spirit in every branch of the visible Church of Christ!

Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

psalm 103

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.” - C.S. Lewis

[The Daily Spurgeon @dailyspurgeon]

I am far better pleased with the soul that is always questioning, “Am I right?” than with him who has drunk the cup of arrogance till he is intoxicated with self-conceit and says, “I know my lot... there is no need for self-examination in my case.”
