How To Stop The Enemy From Rejoicing
Teaching The Truth
"It is the duty and interest of the people of God not to be afraid of evil tidings, not to be afraid of hearing bad news; and, when they do, not to be put into confusion by it and into an amazing expectation of worse and worse, but whatever happens, whatever threatens, to be able to say, with blessed Paul, None of these things move me, neither will I fear, though the earth be removed."

Not Sidetracked By The Way Of Compromise
Teaching The Truth
"If you desire to be for the Lord and stand for Him, see to it that you are not sidetracked by the way of compromise. While you go through the world, men will say to you, 'Weknow as much about it as you. We are as true Christians as you.' Yet they are going on with the world, endorsing the world, speaking the things the world loves, introducing those false things which are sweeping professing Christianity. By the grace of God, let 'no compromise' be our watchword. Be obedient to the instructions that God has given us in His word." (Writings of F.B. Hole)

Help is on the road, and will not fail to reach us in due time, for He Who sends it to us was never known to be too late. Jehovah Who created all things is equal to every emergency; heaven and earth are at the disposal of Him Who made them, therefore let us be very joyful in our infinite helper." (The Treasury Of David)

You Can Walk In The Path Of Your Choosing
Teaching The Truth
"There are the 'ways" of men, and the 'ways" of God; the 'paths' of sin, and the 'paths' of righteousness: there are Thy ways, and there are my ways; Thine the ways of truth, mine the ways of error; Thine which are good in Thine eyes, and mine which are good in mine eyes; Thine which lead to heaven, mine which lead to Hell. Wherefore, shew me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths, lest I mistake mine own ways for Thine; yea, lead me in Thy truth, and teach me, lest I turn out of Thy ways into mine own..." (The Treasury Of David)

Putting On What Should Be Left Off
Teaching The Truth
"In the great spiritual transformation experienced by every believer, there is a twofold and coincident operation - the putting off of the old and the putting on of the new; there is an act of renunciation and unclothing and an act of reception and investment. This change is complete; it pervades the whole man, ruling every power, fashioning the character, and inspiring the entire life. This change is divine in its origin and outworking." (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary)

There's A New Sheriff In Town
Teaching The Truth
"Every Christian is a living temple of the living God. God dwelt in the Jewish temple, took possession of it, and resided in it, by that glorious cloud that was the token of His presence with that people. So Christ by His Spirit dwells in all true believers. The temple was devoted and consecrated to God, and set apart from every common to a holy use, to the immediate service of God. So all Christians are separated from common uses, and set apart for God and His service." (Matthew Henry)
