Its Precious Value

Its Precious Value
There is gold in the rocks which fringe the Pass of the Splugen, gold even in the stones which mend the roads, but there is too little of it to be worth extracting. Alas, how like too many books and sermons! Not so the Scripture; they are much fine gold; their very dust is precious.

Let no one turn away from the Bible because it is not a book of learning and wisdom. It is, would ye know astronomy? It is here; it tells you of the Sun of Righteousness and the Star of Bethlehem. Would you know Botany?

It is here; it tells you of the plant of renown— the “Lily of the Valley,” and the “Rose of Sharon.”

Would you know geology and minerology? You shall learn it here; for you may read of the Rock of Ages, and the White Stone with the name graven thereon, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it.

Would ye study history? Here is the most ancient of all the records of the history of the human race. Whate’er your science is, come and bend over this book, your science is here.—SPURGEON.

Clouds And Darkness

Oswald Chambers

If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of al the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in His presence.

Will You Go Out Without Knowing?

Oswald Chambers

One of the difficulties in Christian work is this question - "What do you expect to do?" You do not know what you are going to do; the only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.

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.
