THE ROARING LION'S FOLLY

For the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ the Apostle John was exiled to the lonely isle that is called Patmos and, if tradition may be believed, was sent to work in the mines. But from his mine John saw farther than any king ever saw from his throne; he saw more from his mine than any astronaut ever saw from his orbit, for the scroll of unborn history was spread out before him and he was permitted to see the unfolding of the purposes of God onward to the time when the New Jerusalem will descend out of heaven from God.

RESISTING SATANIC STRATAGEMS

In the days of Esther the evil Haman listened to the blandishments of Satan and set out to try to destroy the Jews.

SATAN'S ATTEMPTS TO OUTWIT US

The devil is wise, and shrewdness is all that we may properly attribute to him, since sound moral judgment is an ingredient of wisdom and this the devil does not possess. Further thought might require that we modify our belief that he is shrewd in any other than the most superficial meaning of the word: for shrewdness carries with it ability to plan ahead successfully, and apparently the devil is unable to do this.

EXAMPLES, GOOD OR BAD

A sacred obligation lies upon each of us to be Christlike.

BELIEVER MODELS

The mighty error of the world has been to take for granted what someone has called "the rightness of the customary."

JAN

THAT "STREAM OF HUMAN CUSTOM"

The true Christian is uncommon for the reason that he is not in the majority; he is as different from the world in which he lives as Abraham was different from the inhabitants of Canaan.

JAN

CULTURALLY COMMON OR UNCOMMONLY HOLY

A lot of leveling has been going on among us lately, but, as Dr. Samuel Johnson noted in his day, the levelers always want to level down to themselves, never up. And since most of our self-anointed levelers begin pretty well down to scale, the total effect on society has not been to elevate, but to degrade.

JAN

THE GOD-APPROVED MAN

The argument of the apostles is that the man Jesus has been made higher than angels, higher than Moses and Aaron, higher than any creature in earth or heaven. And this exalted position He attained as a man.

JAN

BOWING TO CHRIST'S LORDSHIP

Salvation comes not by "accepting the finished work" or "deciding for Christ." It comes by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, the whole, living, victorious Lord who, as God and man, fought our fight and won it, accepted our debt as His own and paid it, took our sins and died under them and rose again to set us free.
