"The Lord shut him in."

- Gen_7:16 Noah was shut in away from all the world by the hand of divine love. The door of electing purpose interposes between us and the world which lieth in the wicked one. We are not of the world even as our Lord Jesus was not of the world. Into the sin, the gaiety, the pursuits of the multitude... Sign in to see full entry.

OPEN THE BOX AND LET GOD OUT

Not long ago the thought crossed my mind, 'That can't be true. God doesn't work that way!" It was audacious of me to presume to know how God works His wonders and yet, I wonder if we don't all tend to put God into a box made up of assumptions and presumptions and traditions. Jesus was buried in a... Sign in to see full entry.

LEAVE YOURSELF OPEN TO THE MANIFESTATION OF JESUS

- Joh_14:21 The Lord Jesus gives special revelations of himself to his people. Even if Scripture did not declare this, there are many of the children of God who could testify the truth of it from their own experience. They have had manifestations of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in a peculiar... Sign in to see full entry.

BLESSINGS ARE OURS

"Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings." Eph_1:3 All the goodness of the past, the present, and the future, Christ bestows upon his people. In the mysterious ages of the past the Lord Jesus was his Father’s first elect, and in his election he gave us an interest, for we were chosen in him... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT ARE OUR IDOLS IF WE HAVE ANY?

I pondered the commentary below and thought how really dependent we are on so many things. We have people in such dire straits here. Still eight days into being without power. The stores are empty of meats, produce, dairy and frozen goods. We have military police all over the place, why? We are... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KJV

400 years of life and still the bestselling book ever! The King James Version of the Bible is considered the most accurate from the old Hebrew and Greek text’s original writings. This book was not only the Word of God but a standard for the English language. The first man to do such extensive work... Sign in to see full entry.

"Him hath God exalted."

Act_5:31 Jesus, our Lord, once crucified, dead and buried, now sits upon the throne of glory. The highest place that heaven affords is his by undisputed right. It is sweet to remember that the exaltation of Christ in heaven is a representative exaltation. He is exalted at the Father’s right hand,... Sign in to see full entry.

"She bound the scarlet line in the window."

- Jos_2:21 Rahab depended for her preservation upon the promise of the spies, whom she looked upon as the representatives of the God of Israel. Her faith was simple and firm, but it was very obedient. To tie the scarlet line in the window was a very trivial act in itself, but she dared not run the... Sign in to see full entry.

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" - Psa_22:1 We here behold the Saviour in the depth of his sorrows. No other place so well shows the griefs of Christ as Calvary, and no other moment at Calvary is so full of agony as that in which his cry rends the air-"My God, my God, why hast thou...

THAT WAS SOME GIFT

"A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me." - Son_1:13 Myrrh may well be chosen as the type of Jesus on account of its preciousness, its perfume, its pleasantness, its healing, preserving, disinfecting qualities, and its connection with sacrifice. But why is he compared to "a bundle of myrrh"?... Sign in to see full entry.
