Deuteronomy 8:2

We opened the year by writing upon “First things First,” so it seems appropriate that we should offer a few remarks upon Last things in this closing issue of 1939. The subject suggested by this title could be dealt with in various ways. We might, for example, consider that procrastinating tendency o... Read More

"Who remembered us in our low estate: for His mercy endureth forever" (Psa. 136:23). "Who remembered us." This is in striking and blessed contrast from our forgettings of Him. Like every other faculty of our beings, the memory has been affected by the Fall and bears on it the marks of depravity. Thi... Read More

"But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold" (JOB 23:10). Job here corrects himself. In the beginning of the chapter we find him saying: "Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning" (vv. 1 & 2). Poor Job felt that his lot was un... Read More

That you are quite prepared to consider anything that may be a help to you in that direction. 3. That you are of a mind to obey any light that the... Read More

Reading: Matthew 3:13-4:11 As you know, we are in these mornings occupied with the Holy Spirit's biography of Jesus Christ which He is writing in the spiritual history of believers. Last time we commenced a new chapter in this biography, the chapter which contains the baptism, the anointing and the ... Read More

Reading: Deuteronomy 8. "And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee..." "Brethren, I count not myself yet to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things that are before, I press on toward the goal, u...

“It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea” (Deut. 1:2). “Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness” (Deut. 8:2).
