37. History,
and
Prophecy, Commandments And Statutes
The Bible
What a gloomy life this would be if there were no history--if there
were no possible way of knowing the past. And still worse would it be if
there were no prophecy--if there were no way of getting an idea what the
future holds. But worst of all would it be if there were no light on the
present.
38. Fundamental
Principals Of Education
Prov. 22:3, 6, 10, 15---"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth
himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Train up a child in
the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Cast
out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach
shall cease. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod
of correction shall drive it far from him."
39. Righteousness
By
Grace, Righteousness By Faith,
and Righteousness of
Christ
There is much talk among us about "righteousness by grace" and "righteousness
by faith," also about "the righteousness of Christ." But of what profit
will all this talk be to us unless we do something to find out what these
really are, and how to make them our own. We should therefore not fail
in this, and we cannot fail if we seek the Lord wholeheartedly as we study
through the concrete examples which the Spirit of Truth has placed at my
hand.
40. THE
EDUCATION OF CHRISTIAN YOUTH-WHERE
AND HOW OBTAINED
The well-rounded education of Christian youth is in three phases: the
moral, the sacred, and the secular. These are obtained in three different
schools: the home, the church school, and the public school.
41. Current
Events, The
Palestine Situation, And How Close The
Separation
I have been asked to give a study on current events, on the Palestine
situation, and on the separation caused by the slaughter that is forecast
in Ezekiel's vision.
42. THAT
WHICH IS TO BE DURING THE TIME OF THE END
In order to know what takes place during the time of the end, we must
first know where the time of the end begins and ends. We must know both
ends if we are to know what takes place between. Now to find when "the
time of the end" begins, let us turn to---Dan. 11:40
43. A
Dead Top, An Offshoot Or An Upshoot--- Which?
All people down through the ages that have ever embraced a fresh message
from God, were branded as "offshoots" and considered dangerous-something
from which one must beware lest he be shot at, as it were stabbed, trapped,
or something as bad, or hard to tell what.
44. THE
SIGNS OF CHRIST'S SECOND
COMING OR THE SIGNS
OF THE KINGDOM-WHICH?
We as students and gospel teachers have for years dwelt heavily on the
signs of Christ's second coming, but not at all on the signs of the Kingdom.
As a result of this Christendom has theoretically merged the signs of the
Kingdom with the signs of the second Advent.
45.
What
Is Christianity? Who May
Take Hold Of It? Who
May Miss It?
True Christianity is a growth. it is plant-like. Christ Himself is represented
as a Branch (Isa. 11:1), and His kingdom as a mustard seed (Matt. 13:31,
32) which after it is planted becomes a tree, the greatest of its kind.
But since the literal tree must necessarily feed on physical food, likewise
the spiritual tree must necessarily feed on spiritual food, on such as
the Branch Itself was fed:
46. The
Gift of Miracles Especially Healing and Speaking in Tongues ---When,
How, Who?
Never before was the doctrine of miracles, especially of tongues and
of healing, so variously agitated, urged, and practiced as it is throughout
Christendom today. Yet never was there greater doubt as to the genuineness
of the manifestations. And when confronted by the agitators of these miracles,
those who do not believe in or accept them nor possess their power, resort
to saying just about anything and everything they can think of in their
effort to counter the phenomena and to comfort themselves with their limited
spiritual attainments. To clear away the smoke which has resulted from
this fiery issue between these two hostile camps of Christians, and to
expose the truth on the subject, which the master enemy has so completely
covered up, is Inspiration's purpose herein.
