“And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.”— Mark 1:41 Primeval darkness heard the Almighty fiat, “light be,” and straightway light was, and the word of the Lord Jesus is equal in majesty to that ancient word of power....

“Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?”— Song of Solomon 1:7 It is well to be able, without any “if” or “but,” to say of the Continue Reading

Grievous Inconsistency

Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46

“When I measure myself by the standard of Christian maturity given by the Lord Jesus in His Word, I feel ashamed to call myself His follower at all, so far do I lag behind in running the race, so destitute do I seem of those traits which would prove me to be the Lord’s. I came across the following paragraph in a book I much value; read it carefully, dear friends, and if your heart does not condemn you (as mine does me) then lift up your voice in thankful praise to God what His grace in you has gained so great a victory -

“An ill-tempered Christian, or an anxious Christian, a discouraged, gloomy Christian, a doubting Christian, a complaining Christian, a demanding Christian, a selfish Christian, a cruel hard-hearted Christian, a self-indulgent Christian, a worldly Christian, a Christian with a sharp tongue or bitter spirit - all these may be very earnest in their work, and may have honorable places in the Church, but they are not Christ-like Christians; and no matter how loud their professions may be, they know nothing of the realities of a devoted, consecrated life. “”

What kind of Christian are you today?
How is your heart today?

Because of Grace,
Miyoshi

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46

“Of course, there are occasions when, with a start, we wake up to a sense of our deep responsibility to our Master as His professed servants; but does our daily, hourly life show that we are striving in everything to do His commandments and thus prove our love and loyalty to Him?

Dear friends, my sense of shortcomings, in this respect, is so painfully strong that I would sincerely write with tears, rather than with ink if I could thereby bring you and myself to a practical realization of our duty to our Master if we have once taken His vows upon us and called Him “Lord.” I do not wish to judge you; but if in judging and condemning myself, you should find your own experience described and repeated in mine, I earnestly pray that you will receive my words as a message I from God to you personally and not rest until your sin has been confessed and pardoned.”

What will you do today?
Will you call Him, ‘Lord’?

Because of Grace,

“Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.”— Psalm 73:24 The Psalmist felt his need of divine guidance. He had just been discovering the foolishness of his own heart, and lest he should be constantly led astray by it, he resolved that God’s counsel should hence...

Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46

“In what pathetic tones He pleads with us to note the inconsistencies of our words and actions! “Lord, Lord,” we say professing to be His happy and devoted servants, but as a manner of fact - do we not constantly do our own will rather than His? We please ourselves in most of the matters which should be subject to His approval, and we constantly comport ourselves as if no vows of obedience and consecration had ever passed our lips. Is our time at His disposal and command? Is our money spend chiefly for His honor and glory, looked upon as absolutely His, and lent to us only for His service and kingdom? Do we ask the Lord’s counsel over everything which occurs in our daily life?”

Time? Money? Counsel?
Do you ask His will, today?

“Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,”— Exodus 25:6 My soul, how much thou needest this, for thy lamp will not long continue to burn without it. Thy s***f will smoke and become an offence if light be gone, and gone it will be if oil be absent. Thou hast Continue ...
