Conversing with God: Bible, Prayer, and Meditation

2/16/2016

 
“When we pray, we speak to God.  This exercise of the soul can be best performed after the inner man has been nourished by meditation on the Word of God.”

“As my heart is nourished by the truth of the Word, I am brought into true fellowship with God.  I speak to my Father and to my Friend (although I am unworthy) about the things that He has brought before me in His precious Word.”

“Through His Word, our Father speaks to us, encourages us, comforts us, instructs us, humbles us, and reproves us.”

- G. Muller, in “The Autobiography of George Muller”

God's Word, Prayer, and Meditation

2/16/2016

 
“I seldom use any other study aids besides the Scriptures and some good translations in other languages. My chief help is prayer.  Whenever I study a single part of divine truth, I always gain some light about it after praying and meditating over it.”

- G. Muller, in “The Autobiography of George Muller”

God's Word and the Holy Spirit

2/16/2016

 
“The Word can be explained only by the Holy Spirit, who is the teacher of His people.  The Holy Spirit alone can teach us about our sinful state, show us the need of a Savior, enable us to believe in Christ, explain the Scriptures to us, and help us preach the Word.”

- G. Muller, in “The Autobiography of George Muller”

"A Simple Reading of the Bible"

9/20/2014

 
... "around 1970" ..., "a group of seven began to meet together in a home.  Brother Tao [,"one of the original seven members of the" W****** Church]  noted that they were largely untaught, but depended on the Holy Spirit.  He indicated that they emphasized repentance, faith in Christ and being born again, as well as the power of the Holy Spirit, baptism in the Spirit, speaking in tongues and spiritual gifts.  I asked Brother Tao how they came to these theological beliefs.  He answered, 'From a simple reading of the Bible.'  He said that they (the original seven) chose to follow what they felt was clearly taught in scripture."

L. Wesley, "Meditation #39: Persecuted, Yet Persevering", in "Stories from China: Fried Rice for the Soul"

Bible Statements... Monuments of Eternity

7/24/2014

 
"When all religions and philosophies and philologies have tried to define God, one and all sink inane and pass, while the Bible's statements stand like eternal monuments, shrouded in ineffable glory: 'God is light'; 'God is love'; 'God is holy.'"

--- Oswald Chambers, "Christian Disciplines" ---

Attitude to Jesus ... Determines the Bible's

7/24/2014

 
"The Bible is the Word of God only to those who are born from above and who walk in the light.  Our Lord Jesus Christ -- the Word of God, and the Bible -- the words of God, stand or fall together, they can never be separated without fatal results.  A man's attitude to our Lord determines his attitude to the Bible."

--- Oswald Chambers, "Christian Disciplines" ---

Know God's Word

7/21/2014

 
... "in regard to God's Word, see you take time to know it; God's Spirit will give you an understanding of His nature, make His Word spirit and life to you."

--- Oswald Chambers, "Christian Disciplines" ---

How do I use My Bible

10/18/2013

 
"Am I learning how to use my Bible?"

"The way to become complete for the Master's service is to be well soaked in the Bible; some of us only exploit certain passages. Our Lord wants to give us continuous instruction out of His Word; continuous instruction turns hearers into disciples. Beware of spooned meat spirituality, of using the Bible for the sake of getting messages; use it to nourish your own soul. Be a continuous learner, don't stop short, and the truth will open to you on the right hand and on the left until you find there is no problem in human life with which the Bible does not deal. But remember that there are certain points of truth our Lord cannot reveal to us until our characters are in a fit state to bear it. The discernment of God's truth and development of character go together."

--- Oswald Chambers, "Approved Unto God" ---
