LIVING THE BOOK OPENS IT

Acts 8:26-39

Written words always have the power of their source. That is why God’s Word is so wonderful. Even when you do not quite understand it you feel its power. It is a blessed thing to have the personal touch with the Man of the Book. Only so can one understand it, and help others to. And we never do understand his Word until we begin to live it. Living it opens it.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

CUT OUT THE “IF”

Acts 2:37-47

When we learn about Jesus, we realize it was our sin that hurt him to the death. And the natural question is, “What shall we do about it?” When we let him have his way, he makes us share instead of hoarding. So we give him a channel. And he is a God who doeth wonders when he has a channel. He did wonders through these Apostles. He will eagerly do wonders all the time, everywhere, if—— ’

HOW TO FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS

John 1:43-51

Nathanael heard about Jesus. He might have just stayed where he was, and “listened on.” How many of us just “listen on”! But merely listening about Jesus keeps him waiting. When we start toward him, he sees us coming, and speaks to us just where he finds us. And he never fails to satisfy the heart. Then we know it is really he; for no mere man ever really meets and satisfies us just where we know we are.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

SIGNPOSTS NEEDED

John 1:35-42

John was like a signpost pointing to Jesus. A signpost may seem insignificant—just a common bit of wood stuck up. But it’s a great thing; for it shows the right way. We don’t question signposts; we go the way they point. Let’s have the sign of Christ so clear upon our lives that men will go straight to him, with never a doubt as to which is the right way.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore.

SINGING IN A BLIND ALLEY

Acts 16:25-34

When the heart believes, it sings, no matter what contrary signs or circumstances there are. The expectant heart prays and sings. We all pray when we are in a tight place; but do we sing, too? If you really expected the walls of your tight corner to break, wouldn’t you be singing all the day? And when the walls break, look out for those whom you face—they may be needing you to point them to Him who saves.
