Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek." We have a battle against sin, error, pride, self, and everything that is contrary to God and to His Christ; and in the Joshua-service many can be employed. As the Holy Spirit has given diversities of gifts, so are there varieties of agencies for battling for the truth. Every believer should be a soldier in Christ's own army of salvation.…

Growth in Grace 30:33

30:33

Young converts are prone to depend too much on joyful frames, and love high excitement in their devotional exercises; but their heavenly Father cures them of this folly, by leaving them for a season to walk in darkness and struggle with their own corruptions. When most sorely pressed and discouraged, however, He strengthens them with might in the inner man. He enables them to stand firmly against temptation; or, if they slide, he quickly restores them, and by such exercises they become much more sensible of their entire dependence than they were at first. They learn to be in the fear of the Lord all the day long, and to distrust entirely their own wisdom and strength, and to rely for all needed aid on the grace of Jesus Christ.…

18:17

It is a sobering reality that many deceive their own souls,pronouncing peace over themselves when God has not done so. Scripture repeatedly warns us to examine ourselves carefully to avoid this deadly mistake. The great danger of self-deception is that it leads a person to bless themselves in direct opposition to God's judgment.The goal here is not to dwell on the dangers but to equip believers with the means to discern whether they are falsely comforting themselves.…

The Mortification of Sin Abridged and Simplified, Chapter 12 Even the most spiritually mature believers—those who walk most closely with God—only have the faintest glimpse of His glory in this life. When God revealed His name to Moses, showing forth His covenantal grace and mercy (Exod. 34:5-6), He described it as merely seeing His "back," not His full glory. John confirms this, saying, "No one has ever seen God" (John 1:18), emphasizing thateven Moses, the greatest prophet under the law, had only a limited revelation of God compared to Christ.…

10:56

Expositions of Scripture: Then began men to call on the name of the Lord. I suppose that, by this expression, it is meant that they began to have set assemblies for the worship of Jehovah, and that they came together for what we generally speak of now as public worship; for men had, doubtless, called upon the Name of the Lord, each one byhimself, from the very first.…

12:59

The Mortification of Sin - Abridged and Simplified - Some professing Christians have fallen into grave error bydisregarding the law's role in convicting them of sin. Theywrongly assume that, because they are under grace, they no longer need to consider the law's warnings. This mindset leads to spiritual carelessness, dulls the conscience, and, in time, results in all kinds of sinful indulgence.…

18:54

Is there one of us who knows thoroughly what the evil of sin is? I do not think there is. If any one of us were to see the depravity of his own heart, he would lose his reason. Concealed within sin there lurks a measureless world of mischief; who can know it? Were it not that the infinite satisfaction resulting from the atoning sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ is ever present before the eye of the great God, He would at once ease Him of His adversaries, and sweep both sin and sinners out of the world.…
