Moral blessings...

Our High Calling — Day 73 of 365 God Calls for Our Best Affections, March 14 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

Isaiah 41:9 . Many have confused ideas as to what constitutes faith, and they live altogether below their privileges. They confuse feeling and faith, and are continually distressed and perplexed in mind; for Satan takes all possible advantage of their ignorance and inexperience....

Our High Calling — Day 70 of 365 The Privilege of Assurance, March 11 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1 John 3:19 . I would impress upon our young men and young women the necessity of making their calling and election sure. I would beseech you to do no haphazard or uncertain work where your eternal interests are involved.
