Philippians 1:23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841 until 1850. Early on, Smith’s readings were even more popular than Spurgeon’s!

The habit of laying up a text of Scripture in the morning, to be meditated upon while engaged in the business of this world through the day—is both profitable and delightful. It is as a refreshing draught to a weary traveler!

A Heart Filled with Gentleness – J.R. Miller

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Rich Moore

A Heart Filled with Gentleness - J.R. Miller

“We ought to live our lives — so that they will be perpetual blessings wherever we go. All that we need for such a ministry — is a heart full of love for Christ; for if we truly love Christ — we shall also love our fellow-men; and love will always find ways of helping. A heart filled with gentleness — cannot be miserly of its blessings.”

– J.R. Miller, “Daily Bible Readings in the Life of Christ”

Walking toward Heaven – Charles Spurgeon

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Rich Moore

Walking toward Heaven - Charles Spurgeon

“There is nothing that can assist you in walking toward heaven with good speed as much as wearing the image of Jesus on your heart to rule all its motions. It is when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in His very footsteps that you are happiest and most known to be the sons of God.”

In Long-suffering – Oswald Chambers

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Rich Moore

In Long-suffering - Oswald Chambers

“In long-suffering”—long-suffering is being drawn out until you can be drawn out no more, and not snapping. God puts His saints into places where they have to exhibit long-suffering. Let circumstances pull and don’t give way to any intemperance whatever, but in all these things manifest a drawing on the grace of God that will make you a marvel to yourself and to others.

Oswald Chambers - The Relationship Between God and Myself

“It is a great moment when we realise we have the power to trample on certain moods, a tremendous emancipation to get rid of every kind of self-consciousness and heed one thing only: the relationship between God and myself.”

Compassion Costs – Samuel Chadwick

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Rich Moore

Compassion Costs - Samuel Chadwick

“Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but It takes heart to comfort.”

I Live by Faith in the Son of God – William Mason

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Rich Moore

I Live by Faith in the Son of God - William Mason

“I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself for me!” Galatians 2:20

That the believer may live cheerfully and comfortably,
he is exhorted to the free and constant use of Christ.

O consider—Christ is given to us—to be enjoyed by us!

He is the bread of life. We are to feed upon Him daily.

He is the water of life, which our souls are to drink of
constantly.

He is our righteousness. We are to put Him on continually.

So then, we not only have a precious Christ—but we are
also to use Him—and enjoy His preciousness! He is not
only a well of salvation—but we must draw water out of
it with joy—and drink of it to the refreshing of our souls!

Deeply consider, that without this inward enjoyment
of Christ—you cannot be . . .
happy in your soul,
comfortable in your walk,
nor holy in your life.

We must live by faith upon Christ—so as to derive a
continual supply of grace, comfort, and strength
from Him! “I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave Himself for me!” Galatians 2:20

More Grace! More Grace! – William Mason

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Rich Moore

More Grace! More Grace! - William Mason

“More grace! more grace!” needs to be your continual cry.

His infinite supply — is commensurate with your infinite need.

The treasury of grace, though always emptying — is always full.

The key of prayer which opens it — is always at hand!

And the Almighty Bestower of the blessings of grace — is always “waiting to be gracious.”

The recorded promise can never be cancelled or reversed: “My grace is sufficient for you.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

This Trouble From Which You are Now Suffering – John MacDuff (Christian Devotional Reading)

John MacDuff playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=229C974C428D7BE8

My facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ChristianDevotionalReadings

“MacDuff writes popularly, yet he is by no
means shallow. For an hour’s pleasant and
holy reading, commend us to MacDuff!”
—Charles Spurgeon

Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
