Let me not consider what I have as mine own; for I myself am
not mine own. Whatever I have, therefore—talents, substance
-- I am God's steward to use all at His bidding, for His glory.
The guilt of sin was not revealed to saints of Old Testament
time as now to us. Christ, that was to come, was dimly seen by
them: Christ, who has come, is fully revealed to us. Obligations
are according to revelation.
This world is but a desert—a foreign land, where the children
of God can find no rest: if, through unbelief, they seek it,
they will only find disappointment.
We ought so to behave ourselves, that the ungodly may see the
mind of Christ in all our ways; even look and voice should bear
witness for Christ: "Ye are My witnesses" (Isa. 43:10).
One word spoken with a savour of Christ may sink into the soul
of the hearer, and bring forth fruit unto eternal life.
There is something in the very countenance of those who walk
with God, that gives authority to all they say.
