“If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.” – Acts 8:37 These words may answer your scruples, devout reader, concerning the ordinances. Perhaps you say, “I should be afraid to be baptized; it is such a solemn thing to avow myself to be dead with Christ, and buried with him. I should not feel [...]
Confirming Signs
The Holy Spirit In my sober judgment the relation of the Spirit to the believer is the most vital question the church faces today. Keys to the Deeper Life, 15. ________________________________ The Holy Spirit: Confirming Signs And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying [...]
INSTANTANEOUS AND INSISTENT SANCTIFICATION
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly. – 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 When we pray to be sanctified, are we prepared to face the standard of these verses? We take the term sanctification much too lightly. Are we prepared for what sanctification will cost? It will cost an intense narrowing of all our interests [...]
Together Of The Inner Life
Was He raised? So were we. Was He made to sit at the Father’s right hand? That is our place. Was every foe made his footstool? Then not one of them can overcome us so long as we are in abiding fellowship with our risen Lord. If the “together” of the inner life is maintained, [...]
Nehemiah 9:20
“Thy good Spirit.” — Nehemiah 9:20 Common, too common is the sin of forgetting the Holy Spirit. This is folly and ingratitude. He deserves well at our hands, for he is good, supremely good. As God, he is good essentially. He shares in the threefold ascription of Holy, holy, holy, which ascends to the Triune [...]
IN WORD AND IN POWER
I Thessalonians 1:5 “For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Ghost.” Revelation 3:1 “I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.” These verses might be disturbing for they evidently teach that the message of the gospel may [...]
THE INITIATIVE AGAINST DRUDGERY
Arise, shine. — Isaiah 60:1 We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not; but immediately we arise we find He is there. Whenever God inspires, the initiative is a moral one. We must do the thing [...]
The only source of Life is Jesus Christ
“Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost” – not power as a gift from the Holy Ghost; the power is the Holy Ghost, not something which He imparts. The life that was in Jesus is made ours by means of His Cross when once we make the decision to be identified with Him. [...]
Matthew 4:1
“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.” — Matthew 4:1 A holy character does not avert temptation-Jesus was tempted. When Satan tempts us, his sparks fall upon tinder; but in Christ’s case, it was like striking sparks on water; yet the enemy continued his evil [...]
THE AFTERWARDS OF THE LIFE OF POWER
Whither I go, thou canst not follow Me now; but thou shalt follow Me afterwards. — John 13:36 “And when He had spoken this, He saith unto him, Follow Me.” Three years before, Jesus had said – “Follow Me,” and Peter had followed easily, the fascination of Jesus was upon him, he [...]
Acts 8:30
“Understandest thou what thou readest?” — Acts 8:30 We should be abler teachers of others, and less liable to be carried about by every wind of doctrine, if we sought to have a more intelligent understanding of the Word of God. As the Holy Ghost, the Author of the Scriptures is he who alone can [...]

FBMeyer- Our Daily Homily – Genesis
Our Daily Homily, Genesis
by F.B. Meyer
Preface
The Angels who daily spread the table in the wilderness during the desert wanderings could hardly have had more pleasure in their work than I have had in preparing a daily meal for many of God’s children; and the response has been quite remarkable.
From sick chambers, from souls in sore [...]
