A number OF families departed this
morning, but the majority remain an
other day. Elder Luther Warren
preached at 2:30, about the character OF
the q true God. He is infinite j ID
power, and is able to do for US exceeding
abundantiy above all that we can ask or
think. He is all wise. In Jesus Christ
are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge. But another quality is
needed-love. God is love. God is
wisdom, power and love. And he il ia
finite i'll all the qualities. Then, il we
must also believe that our present lot 10
just what God sees 10 best for us, and
we want nothing more.
Last evening Elder Jones began d
bible study, which was interrupted by
the rain, and wa resumed at OLD tins
morning.
There Is in nan q power stronger than
himself that compels him 20 DO the
things he would do, and that power is
Sin. Rom. Tao. o wretched man that
I am, who shall deliver me? That is the
experience Of every man who comes into
the world. The Lord has by his Spirit
put hatred against evil into every
human heart, and with it q longing for
good. This desire will never be met un-
Gil we find Jesus Christ. Every man
who will follow outside OF himself that
desire for good will find God and will
And Jesus Christ. Ii You want power TO
overcome SIN, let God come into your
heart and dwell in your flesh. Nothing
less than Almighty power will hold Us
up. TO believe that God makes right
eous unrighteous persons, and 70 believe
that God dwells in us 10 saving faith. I
will dwell in him and walk with him, he
says. We will come unto him and abide |
In him. God does not want us TO have
ups and downs, he wants TO have al
steady growth Al grace. Ths presence
OF Christ does everything. We cannot
ask for more. Ceremonies, even though
Christ has appointed them, when put in
the place OF Christ are the mystery OF
iniquity.
The root OF Phariseelsm is the alb
emo OF Jesus Christ from the heart, and
the cure for il all il his presence. We
need to be saved from ceremonialism to-
day just as they needed to be saved In
olden times. Baptism, the Lords sup
per, and the Sabbath, are nothing II
Christ is not in the heart. How does
Christ abide an the hearth Eph. 3:14,
II. He abidas by the Holy Spirit,
Christ reddems ri from the curse OF the
law, that we might hi We the blessing of
Abraham. that we might receive the
promise OF the Spirit. Gal. 3:13, Ia.
What, then, is the blessing OF Abraham?
It ID righteousness by faith And be-
who has accepted righteousness by faith
il entitled to ask for and receive the
Holy Spirit.
The best direction for bible study il
found in 2 Tim. 2:l7. Consider what /
say; and the Lord gave thee under
standing in all things.n 1t 10 for as TO
consider; it is for the Lord to give IN
.derstanding. Better read one verse
forty times and CONSIDER what it says
TO read forty verses and wonder
what they mean.
The word of God is the word OF life,
whom the word comes to q man and
he rejects IL he rejects life. But il be-
accepts II, he receives life. THE Lord
may not zee best TO give 10 Understanding
or FOR years; but he will some-
time, an1 the longer We consider the
word, the more glorious will the
ruth appear when the Lord breaks ii
open. How does he give us understand
ING? John 14;l6. The Comforter, which
the Holy Ghost, will bring all things
10 your remembrance. But We must
have the word in the mind in order for
spirit to bring the word to our re-
remembrance. It all depends upon
having the word IN the heart and de-
upon the Spirit of God to flash
Is meaning into heart. Nov Jet lib
consider some ofhis words. and make D
application OF the lesson.
