Truth Elevates


 

 

Truth Elevates

     And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Acts 20:32
     The precious faith inspired of God imparts strength and nobility of character. As His goodness, His mercy, and His love are dwelt upon, clearer and still clearer will be the perception of truth; higher, holier the desire for purity of heart and clearness of thought. The soul dwelling in the atmosphere of holy thought is transformed by intercourse with God through the study of His Word. Truth is so large, so far reaching, so deep, so broad, that self is lost sight of. The heart is softened and subdued into humility, kindness, and love.
     The natural powers are enlarged because of holy obedience. From the study of the words of life, students may come forth with minds expanded, elevated, ennobled. . . . Being pure-minded, they will become strong-minded. Every intellectual faculty will be quickened. They may so educate and discipline themselves that all within the sphere of their influence may see what man can be, and what he can do, when connected with the God of wisdom and power.
     The truth of God never degrades the receiver. The influence of the truth upon him who accepts it will tend constantly to his elevation. . . .
     Those who are sanctified through the truth are living recommendations of its power and representatives of their risen Lord. The religion of Christ will refine the taste, sanctify the judgment, elevate, purify, and ennoble the soul, making the Christian more and more fit for the society of the heavenly angels.
     God bids us fill our minds with great thoughts, pure thoughts. . . . No one with a spirit to appreciate its teachings can read a single passage from the Bible without gaining from it some helpful thought.

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse There's a Lighthouse on the hillside And it over looks life's sea When I'm tossed don't you know, It sends out a light A light that I might see And the light that shines in darkness now Will someday safely lead me home I know If it wasn't for that old Lighthouse I know my ship would sail no more Everybody that lives around us Well they all say, tear it down They say the big ship why they don't sail by this way anymore It just aint no use to it standing around Then my mind goes way out back to that stormy night Just in time I saw the light Don't you know it was the light, that old Lighthouse It still stands there on the hill And I thank God for the Lighthouse I owe my life to Him For Jesus is the Lighthouse And from the rocks of sin He has shown His light around me That I could clearly see If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me) Where would this ship be? And I thank God for the Lighthouse I owe my ...
