God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.

We complain today that ministers do not know how to preach; but is it not equally true that our congregations do not know how to hear?

The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.

Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.

We must learn to measure ourselves, not by our knowledge about God, not by our gifts and responsibilities in the church, but by how we pray and what goes on in our hearts. Many of us, I suspect, have no idea how impoverished we are at this level. Let us ask the Lord to show us.

God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.

Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.
