The Christian and His Power

Above the bickering and cavil of deceit-blinded mortals, rings true and clear the paean of that victory which overcomes the world and which still puts within the grasp of mortal men the greatest power which the world has ever known.

“Remember Now Thy Creator In The Days Of Thy Youth.”

The Savior gave us the divine assurance that even though the Christian's life is from cross to crown, it is still the easiest and happiest life for those who recognize the wisdom of putting first things first, and the folly of spurning the repeated mercies of divine and overflowing compassion.

The Greatness of Being Small

Let us be happy to be considered small and insignificant in this world of distorted values, if only we shall be great and mighty in His sight in whose service we live, in whose Name we die, and in whose Kingdom we shall live eternally, in divine majesty, heavenly honor and never-ending glory.

Are You Getting The Best Out Of Life?

Get the best out of life! Let Christ live in you and you in Him, so that the glory of salvation revealed in you, may be shed abundantly upon those who have missed life's real goal and are battering the eternal for the temporal.

More Consecration

Consecrating yourselves means giving yourselves to the service of the Lord; it means surrendering yourselves, your very bodies and souls, means rising above the low and ordinary things of this life and coming into a very holy and intimate relation with the God whom we would serve.
