Know what God’s words mean

Sweet Words:
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalms 119:103  

What we love, we love to think of. All true wisdom is from God. A good man carries his Bible with him, if not in his hands, yet in his head and in his heart. By meditation on God's testimonies we understand more than our teachers, when we understand our own hearts. The written word is a more sure guide to heaven, than all the fathers, the teachers, and ancients of the church.

We cannot, with any comfort or boldness, attend God in holy duties, while under guilt, or in any by-way. It was Divine grace in his heart that enabled the psalmist to receive these instructions. The soul has its tastes as well as the body. Our relish for the word of God will be greatest, when that for the world and the flesh is least. The way of sin is a wrong way; and the more understanding we get by the precepts of God, the more rooted will be our hatred of sin; and the more ready we are in the Scriptures, the better furnished we are with answers to temptation.

The Family Charter:
1.   “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands” (Eph. 5:22).
2.  “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church” (Eph. 5:25).
3.  “Children, obey your parents in the Lord” (Eph. 6:1)
4 Promises to Backsliders – (James 4: 7)

1.     God giveth more grace to the humble.
2.     He (the devil) will flee from you.
3.     He (God) will draw nigh to you.
4.     He (God) shall lift you up.

The Power of the Good News
 “Do the work of telling the Good News.”  2 Timothy 4:5
For every hero in the spotlight, there are dozens in the shadows. They don’t get press. They don’t draw crowds. They don’t even write books! . . .
Behind a rock slide is a pebble. And a revival can begin with one sermon . . .
Tomorrow’s Spurgeon might be mowing your lawn. And the hero who inspires him might be nearer than you think. He might be in your mirror.
