This question can be asked in reverse: “How does one get a Christian husband?” for the two are really the same. To answer it, I would like to put together three verses from the Word of God.
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22).
“Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife” (1 Corinthians 7:27).
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
“And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: …
Students are accustomed to answering questions, so let me ask one. What are we here for? Did you ever ask yourself, “Why am I here on Earth? Why is it that God did not take me home to heaven after He saved me?” God saved you to make you a missionary. If you are not a missionary there is something the matter with your Christian experience.
You may ask, “Do you mean that we all ought to go to the foreign field?” No, but you all should go out into “the field.” God saved you to use you in service. …
On May 24, 1922, The Moody Church, in business session, extended a hearty and unanimous call to Pastor P.W. Philpott, of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, to become its pastor. This was a daring step. Mr. Philpott is not an unattached man looking for a church. He has given twenty-seven years of his life to his own church, and the city of Hamilton. He is known as the Pastor of Hamilton. His influence has extended over all the province of Ontario. For Mr. Philpott to leave his church, and to leave friends of a lifetime, who have grown up with him, and …
“Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ.”—Titus 2:13
I want to talk to you tonight on this wonderful hope that we have, of the coming back of Jesus. As you have listened to this beautiful music, what a joy it has been to you to hear in song the blessed words: “He is coming again!”But oh, what a joy it is to think of the “time of music” that is ahead!
The devil has in his hands a good deal of the music down here today, but, thank …
Before men ever began to study psychology, before a college ever established a chair of psychology, before scientists ever delved into the powers and functions of a human heart, God had given an explanation of the whole human make-up. Before men ever learned that there was something besides the physical, besides a disposition, and called it an “over-soul” or an “under-soul” or a “sub-conscious self” or by any other name, God had written what it was. God calls the human being a trinity. His word says in 1 Thessalonians 5:23:
This article has a history. Some time ago a western correspondent sent us an earnest letter urging his view of holiness, and putting certain questions to us to be answered. The letter was so frank and cordial as well as earnest that we fully intended to reply to it at length, and took it with us on a journey to prepare an answer. But somehow it became mislaid or was left behind on the train, and the circumstance dropped out of mind. Later the notes we had prepared in reply came to light, and we believe their publication will interest …
Stephen had finished serving the tables with the other deacons, and his heart was burdened to witness for Christ. He wanted to tell his fellow Jews that he had found the Messiah—Jesus Christ, the Son of God. There were 480 synagogues in Jerusalem at that time, and Stephen headed for the “Synagogue of the Freedmen.” This synagogue was built by the descendants of the Jews who had been slaves in Rome and had been set free. They were proud of their freedom—and yet they themselves were really slaves. Stephen was the freeman—he was the …
The question under consideration is an interesting one: “How do you know when you reach the point of no return in your Christian life?
I would say, to begin with, that the personal commitment of a life to the Lord Jesus is the only basis of salvation. Salvation is not a statement of doctrine; it is a surrender to a Person. Of course, you believe right, or you cannot live right. But you can believe right and still not be saved. Personal salvation must involve commitment, and you can find no other basis of salvation in the New Testament.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (or teaching of demons); speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. If thou put the …
