The Christian Is Called Upon

We Have A Duty To Encourage One Another. Many A Time A Word Of Praise Or Thanks Or Appreciation Or Cheer Has Kept A Man On His Feet. Blessed Is The Man Who Speaks Such A Word.

Real Repentance Means Coming Not Only To Be Sorry For The Consequences Of Sin But To Hate Sin Itself.

We May Not Understand How The Spirit Works; But The Effect Of The Spirit On The Lives Of Men Is There For All To See; And The Only Unanswerable Argument For Christianity Is A Christian Life. No Man Can Disregard A Religion And A Faith And A Power Which Is Able To Make Bad Men Good. . .

Timothy's Great Value Was That He Was Always Willing To Go Anywhere; And In His Hands A Message Was As Safe As If Paul Had Delivered It Himself. Others Might Be Consumed With Selfish Ambition; But Timothy's One Desire Was To Serve Paul And Jesus Christ. He Is The Patron Saint Of All Those Who Are Quite Content With The Second Place, So Long As They Can Serve.

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.
