Jesus Is The Yes To Every Promise

Certainly Christianity Is An Experience, But Equally Clearly The Validity Of Ane Experience Has To Be Tested. There Are People In Lunatic Asylums Who Have The Experience Of Being The Emperor Napoleon Or A Poached Egg. It Is Unquestionably An Experience, And To Them A Real Experience, But For All That It Has No Kind Of Universal Validity. It Is Necessary To Go Far Beyond Simply Saying That Something Comes From Experience. Before Any Such Thing Can Be Evaluated At All, The Source And Character Of The Experience Must Clearly Be Investigated.

So Long As We Judge Ourselves By Human Comparisons, There Is Plenty Of Room For Self-satisfaction, And Self-satisfaction Kills Faith, For Faith Is Born Of The Sense Of Need. But When We Compare Ourselves With Jesus Christ, And Through Him, With God, We Are Humbled To The Dust, And Then Faith Is Born, For There Is Nothing Left To Do But To Trust To The Mercy Of God.

There Is A Time When To Avoid Trouble Is To Store Up Trouble, And When To Seek For A Lazy And A Cowardly Peace Is To Court A Still Greater Danger.

When We Believe That God Is Father, We Also Believe That Such A Father's Hand Will Never Cause His Child A Needless Tear. We May Not Understand Life Any Better, But We Will Not Resent Life Any Longer.

The Simple Fact Is That The World Is Too Busy To Give The Holy Spirit A Chance To Enter In.
