Our Gospel.

“A little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.” Gen. 43:11.
WHAT God wants is millionaires in grace. Get rich if you wish to. If you remain poor, it is your own fault.
A MAN ought to grow in grace every minute, from the time he is converted to the time of his death.
I RECKON him a Christian indeed who is neither ashamed of the gospel nor a shame to it.—Matthew Henry.
THOSE who pray with an unforgiving spirit curse themselves every time they say the Lord’s prayer.—Matthew Henry.
POWER is not a stock in trade for us to hoard up within, and dispense when we please. It is just the ability to do at the right moment what God requires of us.
Work on in perfect trust, Nor think some other field Might, with the self-same toil, More harvest yield. ’Tis thine to sow the seed, God gives the sun and rain And, in his own good time, The ripened grain.
WE cannot love God without first believing him. Faith, therefore, stands first in order, and may be regarded as the intellectual condition of sonship. Love, taking a more inward and central position, is the emotional or affectional condition of sonship. So that, if faith stands first in order, love stands first in rank.—Upham.
GET to the root of things. The gold mines of Scripture are not the top soil. You must open a shaft. The precious diamonds of experience are not picked up in the roadway; their secret places are far down. Get down into the vitality, the divinity of the word of God, and seek to possess it with all the inward work of the blessed Spirit.
WHAT you find to do, do it with your might. Be diligent in business; do one thing at a time, and finish what you begin. Let nothing divert your study of the interests of your employer. Make his interest your interest; he will, in time, if not at first, appreciate and reward your efforts. Be prompt, temperate, industrious; never “in the drag;” always up to time, or a little ahead.
