Hope is the music of the whole Bible, the heartbeat, the pulse and the atmosphere of the whole Bible.

This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.

The natural man must know in order to believe; The spiritual man must believe in order to know

The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.

What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them...we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.

We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.

We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
