Religion is not an art nor a science; it is a life. It is not the mere learning and following of a set of rules. It is the growth of Christ-likeness in the heart, spreading thence into the whole of the being. It is the setting up of the kingdom of heaven within us. This [...]

A German philosopher many years ago said something to the effect that the more a man has in his own heart, the less he will require from the outside; excessive need for support from without is proof of the bankruptcy of the inner man.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:6)

“When thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.”
Matthew 6:3
There are some people who want every good thing they do well advertised. If they give money to some good cause, they want to have it noticed in the papers. If they are kind to the poor or relieve some [...]

“In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him.”

Has Christ’s friendship been to you as close, personal, tender, constant, as the human friendships that have been dearest? The close friends of Christ have found no other influence so strong as his precious friendship in forming and transforming their lives.

“And he requested for himself that he might die.”

Friendships in the family require most gentle care and cultivation. We must win each other’s love within home-doors just as we win the love of those outside — by the sweet ministries and graces of affection. We must prove ourselves worthy of being loved by those who are nearest; they will not truly love us [...]
