Seed Thoughts

By J. W. Lowe

PROFESSED Christians ought to have sufficient faith in God to enable them to believe that He will bring to pass whatever is best for them and for His cause at large.

God, the Creator of the universe, has it in His power to shape the course of events as He pleases, and as He sees is best for this world and for the universe in general.

But God wants His children to have such an interest in eternal things pertaining to salvation, that they will seek Him in earnest prayer for their culmination.

When religious zealots put their trust in the arm of the State, or any other political organization, to carry out their wishes and schemes, they are actually ignoring and depreciating the power of God.

To ignore and depreciate the power of God, by putting their trust in some other power, is evidence that those who do this are not controlled by the Spirit of God. And when not controlled by the Spirit of God, men and women are certain to be led into many and grievous errors.
