Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God...2 Corinthians 5:20 King James Version (KJV)

The new song

BEAUTIFUL GUATEMALA


The new song

‘O sing unto the Lord a new song; 
for he hath done marvellous things: 
his right hand, and his holy arm, 
hath gotten him the victory.’ 
Psalm 98:1

Suggested Further Reading: 
Galatians 5:19–24

‘What is your war-cry?’ There has been a good deal of wickedness these last few days in London. I love to see holy mirth;
 I delight to see men well feasted. I like Christmas. 

I like the generosity of those who give to the poor.
 I would not stop a smile. God forbid me! But cannot men be happy without drunkenness? 
Cannot they be mirthful without blasphemy? 
Are there no other ways of finding true pleasure besides selling your soul to the devil? 
O sirs! I say there have been thousands in this huge city who have been going about the streets, and whose cry has been, ‘Sin, and the pleasures thereof! Where is the music-hall? 
Where is the casino? 
Where is the tavern? 
Where is the ballroom? 
Sin, and the pleasures thereof.’

O Satan! you have many soldiers, and right brave soldiers they are, and never are they afraid of your cause, nor ashamed of your name nor of your unholy work. 

Yes, you are well served, O prince of hell! And rich will be your wages when your drudges earn the fire for which they have laboured. 

But I hope and trust there are some who will change their watch-note. You have not nailed your colours to the mast, have you? Even if you have, by God’s grace I would pull the nails out. 

Are you determined to die? Will you serve the black prince for ever, and perish with him? Jesus Emmanuel, the captain of our salvation, bids me cry to you, ‘Enlist beneath my banner.’ 

Believe in him, trust in him, and live.
Oh! trust the merit of the cross, the virtue of the blood, the tears, and the dying groans. 

This it is to be a Christian, and ever afterwards this shall be your war-note—‘Holiness, and the cross thereof!’

For meditation: 

The cry ‘What have I to do with thee, Jesus?’ (Luke 8:28) can quickly be replaced by an eagerness to follow Jesus and witness for Him (Luke 8:38–39). Under conviction of sin, even the cry ‘Crucify him’ (Luke 23:21,23) was within weeks drowned by the question ‘What shall we do?’ (Acts 2:36–37). Have you changed your tune and called upon the Lord to save you (Acts 2:21)?

The vanguard and rear guard of the Church


BEAUTIFUL GUATEMALA

The vanguard and rear guard of the Church

“The Lord will go before you; 
and the God of Israel will be your rereward.” 
Isaiah 52:12

Suggested Further Reading:
 Ezra 8:21-23 and 31-32

We shall soon launch into another year, and hitherto we have found our years to be years of trouble. 
We have had mercies, but still we find this house of our pilgrimage is not an abiding city, not a mansion of peace and comfort. 

Perhaps we are trembling to go forward. 
Foreseeing trouble, we know not how we shall be able to endure to the end. 

We are standing here and pausing for a while, sitting down upon the stone of our Ebenezer to rest ourselves, gazing dubiously into the future, saying, “Alas! What shall I do? Surely, 
I shall one day fall by the hand of the enemy.”

 Brother, arise, arise; anoint your head, and wash your face, and fast no longer; 
let this sweet morsel now cheer you; 
put this cup to your lips, and let your eyes be enlightened: 
“The Lord Jehovah will go before you.” 

He has gone before you already. 
Your future path has all been marked out in the great decrees of his predestination. 
You shall not tread a step which is not mapped out in the great chart of God’s decree. 

Your troubles have been already weighed for you in the scales of his love;
 your labour is already set aside for you to accomplish by the hand of his wisdom. 
Depend upon it, your:-

“Times of trial and of grief,
Times of triumph and relief,
All shall come and last and end
As shall please your heavenly Friend.”

Remember, you are not a child of chance. 
If you were, you might indeed fear. 
You will go nowhere next year except where God shall send you.

For meditation: 

Fear of the future and fear of the unknown still have to be faced by the believer.
 But the Christian has the remedy to such fear—a great God who knows the future and who leads the way (Acts 20:22-24; Hebrews 11:8-10).

A Christmas question


A Christmas question

“For unto us a child is born, 
unto us a Son is given.” 
Isaiah 9:6

Suggested Further Reading: Luke 2:8-20

Why are we sad? I am looking upon faces just now that appear the very reverse of gloomy, but maybe the smile covers an aching heart. Brother and sister, why are we sad this morning, if unto us a child is born, if unto us a Son is given? Listen to the cry! It is “Harvest home! Harvest home!” See the maidens as they dance, and the young men as they make merry. 

And why is this mirth? Because they are storing the precious fruits of the earth, they are gathering together into their barns wheat which will soon be consumed. 

And what, brothers and sisters, have we the bread which endureth to eternal life and are we unhappy? Does the worldling rejoice when his corn is increased, and do we not rejoice when, “Unto us a child is born, and unto us a Son is given?” Listen yonder! What means the firing of the Tower guns? Why all this ringing of bells in the church steeples, as if all London were mad with joy? There is a prince born; therefore there is this salute, and therefore are the bells ringing.

 Ah, Christians, ring the bells of your hearts, fire the salute of your most joyous songs, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given.” 

Dance, O my heart, and ring out peals of gladness! Ye drops of blood within my veins, dance every one of you! Oh! All my nerves become harp strings, and let gratitude touch you with angelic fingers! And thou, my tongue, shout—shout to his praise, who hath said to you: “Unto you a child is born, unto you a Son is given.” 

Wipe that tear away! 
Come, stop that sighing! Hush your murmuring. 
What matters your poverty? “Unto you a child is born.” 

What matters your sickness? 
“Unto you a Son is given.” 
What matters your sin? 
For this child shall take the sin away, and this Son shall wash and make you fit for heaven.

For meditation: 

God sent his only begotten Son to be born as a child, so that sinners could be born again and become the children of God. The deepest sadness belongs to all who still refuse to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour (John 1:12-13).
