Morning- April 27, 2007

Brethren, the time [is] short.
 
 Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of
 trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he
 fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.--The world passeth
 away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God
 abideth for ever.-As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall
 all be made alive.--Death is swallowed up in victory.--Whether
 we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto
 the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
 --To live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
 
 Cast not away . . . your confidence, which hath great
 recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after
 ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For
 yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will
 not tarry.--The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us
 therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
 armour of light.--The end of all things is at hand: be ye
 therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Evening - April 27, 2007

A new name.
 
 The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.--Let
 every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.--
 They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the
 affections and lusts.--Ye are bought with a price: therefore
 glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
 
 God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord
 Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto
 the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any
 thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
 
 Be ye . . . followers of God, as dear children; and walk in
 love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for
 us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling
 savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness,
 let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.--Now
 [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light.
