Beware of reasoning about God’s Word. Obey it.

Christian Life

We have to learn to rely on the Holy Spirit because He alone gives the Word of God life. All our efforts to pump up faith in the Word of God is without quickening, without illumination. You reason to yourself and say, “Now God says this and I am going to believe it,” and you believe it, and re-believe it, and re-re-believe it, and nothing happens, simply because the vital power that makes the words living is not there.

We are not to preach the doing of good things; good deeds are not to be preached, they are to be performed.

“Abide in Me” (John 15.4). Think of the things that take you out of abiding in Christ – “Yes, Lord, just a minute, I have got this to do; Yes, I will abide when once this is finished; when this week is over, it will be all right, I will abide then.” Get a move on; begin to abide now. In the initial stages it is a continual effort until it becomes so much the law of life that you abide in Him unconsciously. Determine to abide in Jesus wherever you are placed.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

I am convinced that what is needed in spiritual matters is reckless abandonment to the Lord Jesus Christ, reckless and uncalculating abandonment, with no reserve anywhere about it; not sad, you cannot be sad if you are abandoned absolutely.

Dr. A.W. Tozer mentioned recently that, ‘We are not only going to be judged for what we have done; we are going to be judged for what we could have done.’ That hurts. Oh what we could have done! Oh the sacrifices we could have made, the prayers we could have offered, the tears for the lost we could have shed, the souls we could have won to Christ! There are resources in God that we believers have never touched; there is wealth, spiritual wealth in God that we have never discovered; there is power in God that we have left untapped–all because we have been faithless and unbelieving.

There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer.

The Bible is the Chief moral cause of all that is good, and the best corrector of all that is evil, in human society; the best book for regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the only book that can serve as an infallible guide.
