“It would seem that some diabolic mastermind is running the affairs of this world and that his chief objective is to brainwash Christians and get them to conform to this world.” – Billy Graham

Books by George F. Dempster

At the moment I am reading the books by G. F. Dempster on PERSONAL EVANGELISM.

“To some whose experiences in personal evangelism have seemed uneventful, and unfruitful, they may be an incentive to renewed efforts and  fresh consecration.” – G. F. Dempster

What does it mean to love the Lord? What would you answer?

“If we love Him we cannot do anything which He would not have us do.” – G. F. Dempster

“There must be shades in the picture to bring out the beauty of the lights.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” – Matthew 24:12,13

“The world’s sewage system threatens to contaminate the stream of Christian thought.” – Billy Graham

I was actually going to read some other good book on this rainy morning in October, but I picked up again my Bible and continued reading where I left off this morning in my quiet time.

(Quiet Time: Daily Bible reading, Daily conversation with God, not only during the day, but at a time of quiet and being alone with the Lord.)

I found that at least twice in Matthew chapter 21  the Lord Jesus Christ asks the people the question, “‘Have you never read?'”

THE SCRIPTURES

THE FIRST TIME.

he asks the question in Matthew 21:16. (“‘Have you never read?'”)

Here he is referring to Psalm 8:2, where it says: “From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.”

THE SECOND TIME.

he asks the question in Matthew 21:42. (“‘Have you never read in the Scriptures?'”)

Here he is referring to Psalm 118:22,23, where it says: “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes.”

Just as the Lord Jesus Christ asked the people when he was on this earth, he is asking us today, “‘Have you never read in the Scriptures?'”

It is a blessing to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. (Matthew 6:33)
