"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

  All My Tears When I go don't cry for me,  In my Father’s arms I'll be.  The wounds this world left on my soul  Will all be healed, and I'll be whole. Sun and moon will be replaced  With the light of Jesus' face,  And I will not be ashamed  For my Savior knows my name. It don't matter where you bury me,  I'll be home, and I'll be free.  It don't matter where I lay,  All my tears be washed away. Gold and silver blind the eye.  Temporary riches lie.  Come and eat from heaven's store.  Come and drink and thirst no more. So, weep not for me my friend  When my time below does end,  For my life belongs to Him  Who will raise the dead again.     -sister Julie Miller   -------0-------  Psalm 135:6, "The LORD does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths."   Psalm 147:16-18, "He sends the snow like white wool; He scatters frost upon t...

‘This Word of God is of value, only as we feed on it for ourselves; and as we properly digest it and assimilate it.  No one can do this for us. Do not think, therefore that we can live by looking on and seeing other people eat or that we can learn by merely looking over and copying their’ work. We must do our own searching’s of the Word, and “mark” our own Bibles, and make our own tables and analyses. True, we may be guided and instructed in this by others; and we may be stimulated by their labours and examples; but we must each one do it for one’s self, and we must learn it for ourselves from the Word. After we may have heard if from others, we must feed on it for ourselves in order to derive strength from it. Everything that we can need for our spiritual health and strength is in the Word of God ….’ -E. W. Bullinger , ‘The Two Natures in the Child of God,'  p.27, May 1906 A.D.

"For Thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great."   - Psalm 25:11 [KJV] Strange plea! Great is mine iniquity, therefore pardon it! Such an address at a throne of grace, never arose from a self-righteous heart. No: with the Pharisee of old, such are ready to say, “Thank God I am not such a sinner as David was: I never committed the horrid crimes of murder and adultery: his iniquity was great indeed.”  It was so; but souls, enlightened by the word of truth, to see the spirituality of the holy law of God, will agree to our Saviour’s comment upon it, that lust is adultery in the heart, and anger a species of murder in the soul (Matthew 5:28.) “Out of the heart proceed murders, adulteries,”  etc. (Matthew 15:19.) Sensible of the desperate wickedness of our heart, convinced of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, who will dare plead, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is little ? Is it against a little God, sin is committed? Is it a little wrath revealed a...

“And the people stood beholding; and the rulers also with them derided Him, saying , He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He be Christ, the chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar, and saying, If Thou be the king of the Jews, save Thyself." -Luke 23:35-37 [KJV] My soul! thou art not tired, I hope, of taking thy stand, night by night, and morning by morning, at the foot of the cross. Surely it is blessed to sit down by the fountain, which was opened by the soldier's spear, in the heart of Jesus, and contemplate, one by one, the mercies which flow in it to the souls of His redeemed. There are more to be seen, more to be discovered at every renewed review; for in the death of Christ, is the life of the soul. It is not the smallest part of the excellencies which Jesus discovered in His death, that it was "the death of the cross ; " for the apostle joins this with His sufferings. He not only endured the...

"As having nothing, and yet possessing all things."   -II Corinthians 6:10 [KJV] How do we possess all things? In possessing Christ who is heir of all things. If we possess Christ, what have we not in Him? We have wisdom to teach us, righteousness to justify us, sanctification to make us holy, and redemption to deliver us from sin, death, and hell. If we have Him, we have the favour and love of God; we have the pardon of our sins, the reconciliation of our persons, the casting behind God's back of all our backslidings, and a title to a heavenly crown. If we have Him, we have everything in Him, for Christ is ours, and Christ is God's. Therefore in him we possess all things. We shall have in providence things sufficient to carry us to the grave. He will give us everything that is for our good, and keep back nothing that is for our benefit. If we possess Him, what have we not in Him? Now the world, when death comes, what has it? Nothing to look to but the an...
