03.14 Evening:


The Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life.

Of His Own will begat He us with the Word of Truth.--The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth Life.

Christ . . . loved the church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Thy Word. . . .Thy Word hath quickened Me.--Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. . . .I will not forget Thy Word. . . .I trust in Thy Word. . . .The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. . . .I will never forget Thy precepts: for with them Thou hast quickened me. . . .How sweet are Thy Words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Joh 6:63 Jas 1:18 2Co 3:6 Eph 5:25-27 Ps 119:9,50,11,16,42,72,93,103,104

(Ephesians 5:25-27)Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

(Psalm 119:9)Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Thy Word. . . .(Psalm 119:50)This is my comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me.--(Psalm 119:11)Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. . . .(Psalm 119:16)I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget Thy Word. . . .(Psalm 119:42)So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in Thy Word. . . .(Psalm 119:72)The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. . . .(Psalm 119:93)I will never forget Thy precepts: for with them Thou hast quickened me. . . .(Psalm 119:103,104)How sweet are Thy Words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

The LORD is gracious

The LORD is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 18:3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.


The Word for the day--
II Samuel 22:7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and He did hear my voice out of His temple, and my cry did enter into His ears.

03.14 Morning:

Adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ.--Abstain from all appearance of evil.--If ye be reproached for the Name of Christ, happy are ye . . .But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.--Be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;--Let your Light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.--Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.--(Philippians 2:15)That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;--(Matthew 5:16)Let your Light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
