As we launch out into another year, there is little visible prospect of a smooth and pleasant voyage. To the natural eye, the clouds are dark and fierce storms seem imminent. The very uncertainty of what the morrow may bring forth, fills many with uneasiness and trepidation. But how different should be the state of […]

“In nothing be anxious.” (Phil. 4:6, R.V.) Worrying is as definitely forbidden as theft. This needs to be carefully pondered and definitely realized by us, so that we do not excuse it as an innocent infirmity. The more we are convicted of the sinfulness of anxiety, the sooner are we likely to perceive that it

The Love of God The nature of GodTHERE ARE THREE THINGS TOLD US IN SCRIPTURE concerning the nature of God. First, “God is spirit” (John 4:24). In the Greek there is no indefinite article, and to say “God is a spirit” is most objectionable, for it places Him in a class with others. God is

The Lovingkindness of God WE PROPOSE TO ENGAGE THE READER WITH ANOTHER OF His excellencies—of which every Christian receives innumerable proofs.

The Patience of God FAR LESS HAS BEEN WRITTEN UPON THIS THAN THE OTHER excellencies of the divine character. Not a few of those who have expatiated at length upon the divine attributes have passed over the patience of God without any comment. It is not easy to suggest a reason for this, for surely

The Goodness of God God’s goodness revealed“THE GOODNESS OF GOD ENDURETH CONTINUALLY”(Psa 52:1). The goodness of God refers to the perfection of His nature: “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (I John 1:5). There is such an absolute perfection in God’s nature and being that nothing is wanting to it

The Faithfulness of God Faithful in all things, at all timesUNFAITHFULNESS IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING sins of these evil days. In the business world, a man’s word is, with exceedingly rare exceptions, no longer his bond. In the social world, marital infidelity abounds on every hand, the sacred bonds of wedlock being broken

The Power of God – Part Two The immensity of God’s powerIt is very beautiful to link together the following passages: He “treadeth upon the waves of the sea” (Job 9:8), which expresses God’s uncontrollable power. “He walketh in the circuit of Heaven” (Job 22:14), which tells of the immensity of His presence. He “walketh
