Thoughts from last Sundays ser
mon. The text, whereby are
given unto us exceeding great and
precious promises. 2 Pet. Ia
Are Gods promises exceeding great
and precious to you? The value
of his promises, so far as you are
concerned, will depend on you as
well as on Him.
The promises of Our Father are
always more inclusive than we
think. AS one begins to accept his
promises, one is continually sur
prised that there is so much to
accept. The golden age" for any
life is never behind. God does not
expect one to turn back to find any
good thing, the best things that are
in store for each one are just ahead,
a little higher up. Any child in
Pike, has a chance to learn more,
and enjoy greater privileges than
did Solomon in all his glory. All
the fullness and all the blessing
which these promises contain can
not be received in one life time.
