Top Highlights

“the repetition of God’s title, Lord of Hosts, five time in the first six verses.” (Volume 4, Page 214)

“Every man is entrusted with a garden, that he may keep it. God’s goodness is no excuse for idleness. Whether your heart and life shall produce weeds, or flowers and fruits, depends on yourself. Ponder Prov. 4:23; 24:30, 31.” (Volume 1, Pages 14–15)

“The order of temptation is always the same. The Tempter without, and within the strong desire for sensual gratification, with the secret hope that somehow the consequences may be avoided. The eye inflames passion; passion masters the resistance of the will; the body obeys its impulse; the act of gratification is followed immediately by remorse and guilt. Then we need the second Adam!” (Volume 1, Page 15)

“All beginnings must begin with God. Always put God first. The first stone in every building, our first thought every morning, the first aim and purpose of all activity.” (Volume 1, Page 13)

“We enter into his rest, when we cease to worry, and trust him in all and for all” (Volume 1, Page 14)
