Everywhere The Flower Of Obedience Is Intelligence.

The Essence Of That By Which Jesus Overcame The World Was Not Suffering, But Obedience. Yes, Men May Puzzle Themselves And Their Hearers Over The Question Where The Power Of The Life Of Jesus And The Death Of Jesus Lay; But The Soul Of The Christian Always Knows That It Lay In The Obedience Of Christ. He Was Determined At Every Sacrifice To Do His Father's Will. Let Us Remember That; And The Power Of Christ's Sacrifice May Enter Into Us, And Some Little Share Of The Redemption Of The World May Come Through Us, As The Great Work Came Through Him.

How Silently, How Silently The Wonderous Gift Is Given! So God Imparts To Human Hearts The Blessings Of His Heaven. No Ear May Hear His Coming, But In This World Of Sin, Where Meek Souls Will Receive Him Still, The Dear Christ Enters In.

Preaching Is Truth Through Personality.

The Elements Which Determine The Make Of Any Particular Sermon Are Three; The Preacher, The Material, And The Audience; Just As The Character Of Any Battle Is Determined By Three Elements; The Gun (including The Gunner), The Ammunition, And The Fortress Against Which The Attack Is Made.

Christianity Helps Us Face The Music Even When We Don't Like The Tune.
