Oct 08 1Chron 24 Ezek 34 Phil 1,2

  Oct 08 1Chron 24 Ezek 34 Phil 1,2 Love—The Incentive To Please God STICK with it! Whatever it is that you want to do,stick with it! Don't just drift, and flutter,and complain. Discipline yourself to keep your mind and effort on the job in hand. That's the only way that anything has ever been accomplished. For this, you must have incentive: powerful driving incentive. The slave's incentive is the task master's lash. It keeps him very attentive to what he is doing. Natural incentives range from terror of that which is bad to strong desire for that which is pleasant and desirable. OUR incentive must rise higher than this. Our driving incentive, like a fire in our bones, must be intense love of and zeal for God,developed by long study and meditation upon His glorious Word and works. --Gilbert Growcott, 'Search Me O God', pg 91 reference 1 Chronicles 24 THE KINGS AND PRIESTS OF THE MOST HOLY “And circling about the throne were twenty-four t...

Oct 11 1Chron 28 Ezek 37 John 2,3

  Oct 11 1Chron 28 Ezek 37 John 2,3 The course of true wisdom, then, is to detach ourselves as far as possible from the world and its ways and throw ourselves heartily into the service of Christ, using well the talents which have been given to us.  The nearer we keep to God, the more we realise the grandeur of His purpose and the perfect security of His ways.  In this way we will be delivered from the tension occasioned by the vanity and futility of fleshly relations. The children of God do not grope in the darkness for the way of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day, and even if we make a brief stop at the cemetery on the way, it matters not, for the faithful have the hope of the glory of God. --B. A. WARRENDER, 'The Promise of Life in Christ' reference to 1 Chronicles 28 David and the Reign of Solomon DAVID NOT only proceeded to arrange for the building of the temple as regards the accumulation of mat...

Oct 10 1Chron 27 Ezek 36 John 1

  Oct 10 1Chron 27 Ezek 36 John 1 True it is, that we live at the end of a long period of Scriptural anarchy during which apostolic principles have been quenched, to all human appearances; and that the truth’s operations revived by the study of the testimony, are both very weak and necessarily unlike the apostolic original in its external form. But we cannot but suppose the Lord equally alive to His work in the nineteenth century as in the first. In its essence, it is the same, though differing in its adjuncts and its accidents. That essence is, faith in the promises constituting the Gospel, love for the things presented for faith, and obedience of the commandments prescribed for obedience. --Robert Roberts, The Christadelphian” of 1898 Sunday Morning No. 293 Pages 63-66 reference 1 Chronicles 27:24 ... The Bible makes reference to other literary activity all the time it was produced. In Esther 6:1 we read of the King of Persia on a sleepless night ordering...

Oct 09 1Chron 26 Ezek 35 Phil 3,4

  Oct 09 1Chron 26 Ezek 35 Phil 3,4 "Salute every saint in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:21) Not just "all saints," but "every saint"—each one separately and individually. A beautiful concluding thought—"Salute every saint in Christ." Consider them all, over and over, one by one, in loving and prayerful remembrance, after the wonderful example of the aged apostle, that the whole body, fitly joined together according to the effectual working of every part, may grow up in Christ unto the edifying of itself in love. "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." —G.V.G., 'I Do Rejoice Yea and Will Rejoice, ' Be Ye Transformed, vol 4 reference 1 Chronicles 26 EXPOSITIONAL NOTES (7) SUGGESTION THAT BENAIAH (CAPTAIN OF SOLOMON’S HOST) WAS ONE OF THE PRIESTLY WARRIORS 2 Chron. 23:7.—The Levites surround Joash with their weapons in their hands. 1 Chron. 12:28.—Zadok, afterwards high priest, is ...

Oct 07 1Chron 23 Ezek 33 Eph 5,6

  Oct 07 1Chron 23 Ezek 33 Eph 5,6 In all things, let love be the centre of operation—the guiding motive. Be kindly affectionate one toward another, and toward all men. Let the love of God fill the hearts and minds of everyone who has obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine delivered by the apostles. --Robert Roberts, - “The Christadelphian” of 1870, Sunday Morning No. 16 Pages 12-15 reference 1 Chronicles 23 ... There were, no doubt, trumpets of various kinds and signs. In the Hebrew two different words are used which scholars have translated trumpet. In illustrated Bibles we sometimes see pictures of them. One was a small curved instrument supposed to have been the original ram’s horn; the other is a long straight trumpet taken from a Roman portrayal of that which was found in the temple. We do not think that this throws much light on the subject. If England were ravaged by a long period of war and all the churches were destroyed, a few small harmoniums would ...
