Do you have a longing this morning for a richer, more abundant life?
Then let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Shall we have these great spiritual awakenings this next year all over this country and Canada? Then let us realize in our lives Christ's promise,
that out of your inmost selves shall flow Jordans of living water.
Spirituality costs.
Shall we pay what it costs?
May the Spirit of God help us to answer that question.

And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear,
saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they
shall hear the earth;
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine,
and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will
have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy;
and I will say to them which were not my people,
Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
Hosea

WHAT SHALL I DO?
Be Available – Abandon yourself to God and to His call on your life. Tell Him you will go
anywhere and do anything that He shows you as His will for you.
Be Informed – Don’t hide behind ignorance. Gather all the information you can so you
can pray and seek the Lord intelligently. Subscribe to missions publications and make
it a priority to know what’s going on in the world. If you know where the needs are,
it will be easier for you to meet some of them.
Be Inspired – Checkout our booklist and get hold of some inspiring biographies of
Christian missionaries. You’ll find out that most “missionary greats” are just common
people who decided to let their love for God and their love for the lost overrule their
own desires in life – allowing God to use them in bold and wonderful ways.
Expect An Open Door – Expect God to give you an opportunity to fully serve Him
through this new information you are exposing yourself to. Then when He opens the
door – walk through it!

Directions for the acquisition of Christian knowledge by Jonathan Edwards
1. BE assiduous in reading the Holy Scriptures. This is the fountain whence all
knowledge in divinity must be derived.
Therefore let not this treasure lie by you neglected. Every man of common
understanding who can read, may, if he please, become well acquainted with the
Scriptures. And what an excellent attainment would this be!
2. Content not yourselves with only a cursory reading, without regarding the
sense. This is an ill way of reading, to which, however, many accustom
themselves all their days. When you read, observe what you read. Observe how
things come in. Take notice of the drift of the discourse, and compare one
scripture with another. For the Scripture, by the harmony of its different; parts,
casts great light upon itself.—We are expressly directed by Christ, to search the
Scriptures, which evidently intends something more than a mere cursory reading.
And use means to find out the meaning of the Scripture. When you have it
explained in the preaching of the word, take notice of it; and if at any time a
scripture that you did not understand be cleared up to your satisfaction, mark it,
lay it up, and if possible remember it.
3. Procure, and diligently use, other books which may help you to grow in this
knowledge. There are many excellent books extant, which might greatly forward
you in this knowledge, and afford you a very profitable and pleasant
entertainment in your leisure hours. There is doubtless a great defect in many,
that through a lothness to be at a little expense, they furnish themselves with no
more helps of this nature. They have a few books indeed, which now and then
on sabbath-days they read; but they have had them so long, and read them so
often, that they are weary of them, and it is now become a dull story, a mere
task to read them.
4. Improve conversation with others to this end. How much might persons
promote each other's knowledge in divine things, if they would improve
conversation as they might; if men that are ignorant were not ashamed to show
their ignorance, and were willing to learn of others; if those that have knowledge
would communicate it, without pride and ostentation; and if all were more
disposed to enter on such conversation as would be for their mutual edification
and instruction.
5. Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable
you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls, and in order
to practice.—If applause be your end, you will not be so likely to be led to the
knowledge of the truth, but may justly, as often is the case of those who are
proud of their knowledge, be led into error to your own perdition. This being
your end, if you should obtain much rational knowledge, it would not be likely to
be of any benefit to you, but would puff you up with pride: 1 Cor.8:1. "
Knowledge puffeth up."
6. Seek to God, that he would direct you, and bless you, in this pursuit after
knowledge. This is the apostle's direction, James1:5. " If any man lack wisdom,
let him ask it of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not." God is the
fountain of all divine knowledge: Proverbs 2:6. "The Lord giveth wisdom: out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." Labor to be sensible of your
own blindness and ignorance, and your need of the help of God, lest you be led
into error, instead of true knowledge: 1 Corinthians3:18. " If any man would be wise,
let him become a fool, that he may be wise."
7. Practice according to what knowledge you have. This will be the way to know
more. The psalmist warmly recommends this way of seeking knowledge in divine
truth, from his own experience: Psalms 119:100. " I understand more than the
ancients, because I keep thy precepts." Christ also recommends the same: John
7:17. "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be
of God, or whether I speak of myself."
_________________________________________________________________
Father! I bless your gentle hand;
How kind was your chastising rod,
That brought my conscience to a stand,
And brought my wandering soul to God.
Foolish and vain I went astray,
E're I had felt your scourges, Lord;
I lost my guide and lost my way
But now I love and keep your word.
'Tis good to me to wear the yoke,
For pride is apt to rise and swell;
'Tis good to bear my Father's stroke,
That I might learn his statutes well.
____________________________________________________________________
"Do you love Christ? I ask not if you feel
The warm excitement of that party zeal
Which follows on, while others lead the way,
And make his cause the fashion of the day
But do you love him when his garb is mean;
Nor shrink to let your fellowship be seen?
Do you love Jesus, blind; and halt, and maimed?
In prison support him; nor feel ashamed
To own him, though his injured name may be
A mark for some dark slander's obloquy?
Do you love Jesus in the orphan's claim,
And bid the widow welcome in his name?
Say not, 'When saw we him?' -Each member dear,
Poor and afflicted, wears his image here;
And if unvalued or unknown by you,
Where can your union with the Body be?
And if you thus are to the body dead,
Where is your life in Christ the living Head?
And if dissevered from the living Vine,
How can you dream that you have life divine!
"Sweet is the union true believers feel
Into one Spirit they have drunk; the seal
Of God is on their hearts- and thus they see
In each the features of one family!
If one is suffering- all the rest are sad;
If but the least is honored- all are glad.
The grace of Jesus, which they all partake,
Flows out in mutual kindness for his sake;
Here he has left them for a while to wait,
And represent him in their suffering state;
While he, though glorified, as yet alone,
Bears the whole church before the Father's throne."
