THE STANDARD OF GIVING

Luke 6:30-38

The Jew was taxed a tenth. He gave it because he must. The Christian is supposed to give as Jesus gave. He held all subject to our need. We are to reckon that all we have is his. Then we’re to give as his Spirit guides. Knowing about the world’s needs, feeling its emergency, we’re to hold everything subject to the Spirit’s control, and habitually, thought fully administer what we have, giving as he guides.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

HOPELESSLY BANKRUPT

Matthew 25:34-40

When someone does a kindness to our loved one in need, does it not stir the heart’s gratitude as if it were done to ourselves? Ah, it is sweeter because we love our dear one so. Jesus loves. No one is beyond his brooding, wooing love. He is asking us to help all those in need. We’re hopelessly in debt to him for what he has done; and our debt is payable to all whom we touch.

Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

“MUST” SPELLED BIG

James 3:9-18

There’s such a plenty of world wisdom. Perhaps that is the reason there is so much confusion today. We need the wisdom that comes from Jesus himself. It is blessed that Jesus says we may have it for the asking. And when we ask, he won’t remind us of how stupidly unwise we are. He will give us his wisdom with the giving of himself to dwell and live in us. But he must be given habitual control—with that “must” spelled big.

1 Corinthians 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

A CONTROLLED TONGUE

James 3:1-8

How grateful we are for the tongues that have brought the message of the Christ! So much of blessing comes through the tongue. But what hurt that little thing can do, also! Is it not strange that the tongue that brings some message of cheer and hope can also spit out words of reviling and evil? Then the good is clean rubbed out. The tongue must be under control at its roots down in the heart —the Spirit’s control.

Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

THE LIFE SPEAKS THROUGH THE LIPS

Acts 1:1-8

We cannot witness to what we do not know. If we are to witness for Christ, we must first let him in, and all the way in, and in control. Then we know his power, and are able to witness to it by word and by life. Words are powerful or weak, according to the life back of them. The privilege of knowing him personally and of letting the life bear witness of his power is great joy.
