The Action of the Holy Spirit in the Assembly

by W. Kelly

I CORINTHIANS 12? The subject, which the apostle covers in this chapter, was one most deeply needed at that time by the Corinthian saints, and is still much needed today. There is no greater forgetfulness of any part of the truth of God amongst Christians, than as to their great need of the Holy Spirit on the one hand, and as to God’s great gift of Him on the other. Here we have the truth of the church viewed as that to which God had given the Spirit of “power” (1 Cor. 12) of “love” (1 Cor. 13), and of the “sound mind” that should be shown (1 Cor. 14). The Spirit of power was there; but, whatever the energy He works in, the Holy Spirit has in no way set aside responsibility. Man cannot understand this. A divine person, His office is to be here, that He might be in the saints, the dwelling of God, and that they should have therefore an infinite resource; but, at the same time, not so that the might of the almighty Spirit of God could not be thwarted and hindered.

A Great House

by N. Simon

His habitations on earth, however, are but the anticipations of His perfected house in the eternal state--- of that temple which is even now silently growing, as stone after stone is laid in their appointed place upon the living Foundation, and which, when completed, will, after the close of all earthly dispensations, become His tabernacle throughout eternity.

The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians: The Characteristics of a True Christian Minister

by B. Anstey

The Apostle Paul wrote the first epistle to the Corinthians to correct a number of disorders among them. In the main, it produced positive results, although after writing it, he was concerned as to whether or not it would. Nevertheless, there were good results; they mourned over their wrongs and repented and set those things right. Paul’s reasons for writing this second epistle were: --To explain why he didn’t come to Corinth when he said that he would. --To exhort the saints at Corinth to show grace and forgive the repentant man who had been excommunicated. --To expose an element of his detractors, whom he calls “false apostles” and “deceitful workers,” who were doing Satan’s work among the Corinthians in causing them to distrust the Apostle and question his ministry. --To encourage the saints at Corinth to be engaged in a ministry of giving. The result of the writing of the epistle is that we have been given a wonderful picture of the characteristics of a true Christian minister, as seen in Paul himself.

The Two Natures in the Believer

by G.H. Hayhoe

God's way of deliverance from sin.

Daily Devotional

Christians Daily Calendar

I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (John 14:16,23)

When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me. (John 15:26)

The Comforter, now present,
    Assures us of Thy love;
He is the blessed earnest
    Of glory there above;
The river of Thy pleasure
    Is what sustains us now,
Till Thy new name’s imprinted
    On every sinless brow.

Growing in Grace

“Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established” (Proverbs 4:26).

“Every way of man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts” (Proverbs 21:2).

The English word “ponder” means to consider well, to think about. It comes from the Latin word “pondus,” which means “weight.” Sometimes we speak in English of “weighing something carefully,” and that is what the word ponder means. We think about it from every point of view, and do not act hastily.

In our verses today, we are told to ponder the path of our feet. This means that we do not act in a hurry, or make a sudden decision based on impulse and emotion. Rather we think about the matter carefully, and pray about it, asking the Lord for guidance. Then, when we do act, our ways are established, for we can have the confidence that we are going forward in the way the Lord wants us to go.

Of course, there are some things that we do not have to ponder, and should not pray about. If we have a definite scripture on which to act, we do not need to hesitate. For example, suppose a Christian young man was considering marrying a young woman who was not saved. Should he ponder that, and pray about it? No, because God is quite clear in His Word that we are not to be “unequally yoked together with believers” (2 Corinthians 6:14). To pray about something like that is really asking God to change His Word. Rather we should immediately act on God’s Word and break off that relationship. But in many things the pathway may not be clear to us, and then we need to “ponder the path” of our feet.

Then we learn that every way of man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the hearts. We may decide on our own to go a certain way, but then the Lord Himself does some pondering. He looks at our hearts and sees what is going on there. If we want to go our own way, our hearts are wrong, for we are wanting our own will instead of the Lord’s will. Then the Lord may have to bring difficulties into our life, in order to draw us back to Himself.

Let us make sure to consider carefully what we are about to do and ask the Lord for His help!

I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. (Psalm 31:22)

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.1 – Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.2

Will the Lord cast off forever? and will he be favorable no more? Is his mercy clean gone forever? doth his promise fail forevermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? … And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.3 – I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.4

Comfort of the Scriptures

“The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means” (2 Thess. 3:16).

God wants the hearts of His redeemed people to be filled with His own “peace always by all means.” He is “the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.” On the night before the cross, our Lord said to His own, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Peace is just the opposite of agitation and fear. God does not want us to be continually stirred up about our problems or our circumstances. He wants us to have His peace in our hearts, irrespective of our circumstances. He has told us to “be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” So “let the peace of God rule in your hearts ... and be ye thankful.” “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.”

Peace when there is trouble?
Peace when the heart is sore tried?
Yes, His own peace to guard us,
When we in Jesus abide.
