A Law Of God

No one who has read the Scripture will say that it does not teach us to work. Every Bible student loves to work. The Word of God inspires us to work.

Paul said the love of Christ constrained him. Jeremiah said the Word of God burned in his bones.

He fed upon it and it was sweet to his taste. If a man gets his heart full of the Word of God, he is not then interested just in one little corner of the vineyard, but he will take a wide field of labor and interest.

The first words that fell from the lips of Christ on earth, so far as we have them on record, were, “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” You will find that during His ministry, He toiled early and late in the work.

After we are saved we cannot help going to work. If a man tells me he has been saved of Christ, and yet has no desire to work for God, I know it is a spurious conversion; it is not a true salvation; it has not the ring of Heaven in it—MOODY.

Let Us Keep To The Point

Oswald Chambers

Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only - My Utmost for His Highest. I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone.

Magnifying Glass of Faith

Philip Yancey

In my spiritual journey as well as in my writing career I have long lingered in the margins, pondering unanswerable questions about the problem of pain, the conundrums of prayer, providence versus free will, and other such matters.

Rosetta Stone

Philip Yancey

In the incarnation, God’s Son deliberately “handicapped” himself, exchanging omniscience for a brain that learned Aramaic phoneme by phoneme, omnipresence for two legs and an occasional donkey, omnipotence for arms strong enough to saw wood but too weak for self-defense.

The Image of God

John MacArthur

What is the image of God? The Hebrew word for “image,” tselem, comes from a root that speaks of carving. It is the same word used to speak of graven images (Ex. 20:4). It almost seems to convey the idea that man was carved into the shape of God.
