The Sin of Unbelief “And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thingbe? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes but shalt not eat thereof”—2 Kings 7:19. ONE WISE man may deliver a whole city; one good man may be the means of safety to a thousand others. The holy ones are “thesalt of the earth,” the means of the preservation of the wicked. Without the godly as a conserve, the race would be utterlydestroyed. In the city of Samaria there was one righteous man—Elisha, the servant of the Lord. Piety was altogether extinctin the court. The king was a sinner of the blackest dye, his iniquity was glaring and infamous. Jehoramwalked in the ways of his father Ahab, and made unto himself false gods. The people of Samaria were fallen like theirmonarch: they had gone astray from Jehovah; they had forsaken the God of Israel; they remembered not the watchword of Jacob,“The Lord thy God is one God...

The Immutability of God “I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”—Malachi 3:6 It has been said by some one that “the proper study of mankind is man.” I will not oppose the idea, but I believe it is equallytrue that the proper study of God’s elect is God; the proper study of a Christian is the Godhead. The highest science, theloftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature,the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father.There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, thatall our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can compassand grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-content, and go our way with the thought, “Behold I am wise.” But when wecome to this master-science, finding t...

Deuteronomy 4:29 (KJV)  But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When we are aligned with His will, our Father wants to give us our heart´s desires—in His time. As we learn to enjoy Him for who He is, our self-focused wants are replaced by His perfect will and purpose for us. Deuteronomy 4:29 📖 People long to be understood. We appear to have many acquaintances, but we all have a deep need to feel truly known by those we love most. This is because we were created in God´s image—He is a relational being who desires for His children to know and understand Him. Just as you don´t want to be known for only the superficial details of who you appear to be, it´s not enough to simply know about the Lord. He wants us to learn how He thinks and feels, what´s important to Him, and what His purposes are. Of course, it´s impossible for man to completely know the mind of the Creator of the univ...

 Giving All to Christ Introductory Note: Getting started in the spiritual life can be overwhelming. How does one dip a toe into the ocean of Life that awaits us? I suggest that we don’t dip, we dive. No half measures will do—Christ says, “Jump.” In this Devotional Classics excerpt, Lewis encourages us to abandon the idea of just “being good,” and to embrace utter abandonment to God. Step by step, Lewis walks us through the challenge and then offers us a practical exercise for getting started. He ends with a beautiful vision of being drawn into Christ. Here’s a sneak peek: What we have been told is how we can be drawn into Christ—can become part of that wonderful present which the young Prince of the universe wants to offer his Father—that present which is Himself and therefore us in Him. It is the only thing we were made for. 1. How Much of Myself Must I Give? The ordinary idea which we all have before we become Christians is this. We take as the starting point our ordinary self wi...
