QUOTES & STUFF |
 |
Charles H. Spurgeon
Beware, I pray you, of presuming that you are saved. If your
heart is renewed, if you hate the things that you once
loved, and love the things that you once hated; if you have
really repented; if there is a thorough change of mind in
you; if you are born again, then have you reason to rejoice:
but if there is no vital change, no inward godliness; if
there is no love of God, no prayer, no work of the Holy
Spirit, then you saying "I am saved" is but your own
assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver you.

Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual
leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the
quality of popular Christianity year after year until we
reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws --
like the Shekinah, from the Temple.
Chuang-tzu, about 350 BC, during
the time of Alexander the Great
The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten
the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists
because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you
can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once
you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words.
Remarkable Miracles
If you have never read this book about G. C. Bevington, the
man who used to pray while in a log, and the miracles God
performed through his prayers, you've missed out on a great
classic on faith, prayer, and miracles. |

Everyone Can Be a Winner |
Several years ago at the Special Olympics, nine young
contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled
at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but
with a relish to run the race to the finish and win.
It was a good race, and all were hurrying toward the finish
line not far ahead of them. All, that is, except one boy who
suddenly stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of
times, and lay there crying.
The other eight contestants heard his cries. They slowed
down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went
to him. Everyone of them.
One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed the boy
and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked
arms and walked across the finish line together.
Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for
several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story.
Why?
Because deep down we know this one thing: What truly matters
in life is more than winning for ourselves—it's helping
others to win, even if it means slowing down and changing
our course. That's what makes a true winner, helping others
to win. |

 Any
Christian or church can be filled with spiritual
power to set captives free & heal the sick,
IF
they are willing to pay the price to do it -
most are not.
Are you? Is your
church? |
 Have
you wondered why you or others are not healed
when you believe you have faith for healing?
After 30 years in the healing ministry, Dr.
Price found the problem and the answer. |

A Useful Story for Many
Times |
|
It's Fall in Vermont. I'm 15, and my father and I have been
hunting squirrels all day on a mountain where there isn't a
squirrel for 10 miles in any direction. Now we're walking
back to our car along a wide path through some white birch
trees. At the far end of the birches, there's a low bank on
the right side, and at the bottom of the bank there's a
large patch of long-thorn blackberry bushes.
Dad spots the bushes, and before I can figure what he's
doing, he stops, pulls off all his clothes, races to the
edge of the bank and jumps into the middle of the blackberry
patch.
Well, it takes me about 30 minutes to cut Dad out of
those bushes with my hunting knife. He's all scratched up
and bleeding, and I clean him off and get him back into his
clothes and we start down the trail again, neither of us
saying a word.
We walk about a thousand feet and I can't hold back any
longer. I say, "Dad, why did you stop back there, pull off
all your clothes, and jump into the middle of that
blackberry patch?"
Dad looks at me seriously for a few seconds, and then he
says, "Well, son, at the time it seemed like a good idea." |

In the Works |

Beverlee is now editing a new book: The Autobiography of
David Yonggi Cho - Pastor of the World's Largest Church.
Dr. Cho's church now has over 750,000 members, so the book
should be of interest to anyone wanting to know how to build
their church by faith, and not by Christianized Motivational
Psychology. I'm about 2/3rds through the new R. A. Torrey
Pure Gold Classic: The Holy Spirit: Who He Is and What He
Does. It will have several additional sections to it, on
things like The Power of the Holy Spirit, The Power of
Prayer, The Power of the Blood, The Power of the Word of
God, and a couple of others.
And, of course, I'm still working on my new book:
Christ Is God's Everything for You. Both Beverlee
and I would appreciate your prayers to help us in our work.
