Three Defining Qualities of God (Part 3): Love
Love is God standing in relation to all of us, fulfilling His relations with all of us in accordance with the first and supreme demand: That He cares for all of us, that His thoughts and interests are not centered in Himself but go out with full sincerity and unselfish devotion to those with whom He cares for – us, His creation.

Joy & Gladness: The Franchise of Eternity
We wonder at the singing. Then we wonder so much at that which inspired the singing, and then we should wonder more if these men had not sung. At first we are amazed with the cheerfulness and heroism of these men, and then we find out that their singing was not abnormal, but normal. It was not the result of a transient emotion. It was the expression of a constant experience of the soul.

Dealing with Temptations
Temptations are an aberration against our purpose, our hope and goal in life. To thwart us off course toward our destination. Temptations are the misfiring of a retro rocket in our journey in life to throw us off course (as in space flight).

The Book of Judges: Poetic Punishment
This is one of the books of the Bible which we must burn and fling away if we deny that God does directly, immediately, and definitely punish sin. The punishment of God is poetic.

Quickening the Exhausted
Depression follows on the difficulties and disappointments of business and life. When things will not go rightly, mind and heart are very full day and night, and brooding away tends to encourage fears, and to make the dark things grow darker.

Guarding Against Backsliding
The distance between yourself and the LORD matters nothing. The first cooling of passion is the tragedy. The final corruption is but a sequence to be expected; and which cannot be avoided save as the first love is restored.

Observe Them Diligently: Part 3
Is it conceivable that God’s favour can rest upon a mere doing of what He requires? God accepts it as bare duty, but has no favour… no smile for him who has but that to offer.

Observe Them Diligently: Part 2
Diligence is distinct from ability. And it is quite possible to trust ability and neglect diligence. But ability has nothing to do with character, and diligence has everything to do with it.

Observe Them Diligently: Part 1
There are possible “obediences” that cannot be acceptable to God. The things required are done but there is no heart, and therefore no merit in the doing.

Attitudes of God (Part 4): Persistence of God
David’s answer to the persistence of God was that of his perfect confidence in it. It was that confidence which made him write his penitential psalms. When we speak of David’s sin let us in all fairness speak also of his penitence.
