then go on no longer in your own evil ways. Arise and make a stand
against Satan. Be doing something, and do it now. Repent now,
confess, forsake. A day of fire and storm is about to burst on our

world. Conform your life to the simple prescriptions of the word of
God. Seek the aid of God’s Spirit by prayer, by watching thereunto,
and ye will come off more than conquerors through Him who hath
loved us. Read
1 John 4:10

All the Lord’s
The very flesh in which the soul tabernacles and through which it
works is the Lord’s. We have no right to neglect any part of the living
machinery. Every portion of the living organism is the Lord’s. The
knowledge of our own physical organism should teach us that every
member is to do God’s service, as an instrument of righteousness.
None but God can subdue the pride of man’s heart. We cannot
save ourselves. We cannot regenerate ourselves. In the heavenly
courts there will be no song sung, To me that loved myself, and
washed myself, redeemed myself, unto me be glory and honor,
blessing and praise. But this is the keynote of the song that is sung
by many here in this world. They do not know what it means to be
meek and lowly in heart; and they do not mean to know this, if they
can avoid it. The whole gospel is comprised in learning of Christ,
His meekness and lowliness.
What is justification by faith? It is the work of God in laying the
glory of man in the dust, and doing for man that which it is not in
his power to do for himself.—
