![]() They called it " The Holy Bible," and they held it to be such. They told us that the Bible was all true. We were brought up among simple, unsuspecting believers. Parker's Last Message Concerning the Bible. mand of the day is for strong, sturdy preachers of the pure Gospel of Grace, and zealous followers of the living God. ![]() The fruit of this gospel is found in the wishy-washy sentiméntalism that prevails everywhere with reference to the Word and work of God. ![]() In place of Scripture facts it has silly fables it denies the doctrines of the Bible and dishes up doctrines of devils. It sees sin in the saloon, but no devil in the drawing room it has soft words for sinners-especially for the cultured criminals it tells you that the world is growing better every day gushes about the goodness of God and the magnificence of man it glorifies those who have gold, and placates + the men in high places at its shrines it serves soothing sophistries to itching ears. This gospel denies the personality of Satan and the punishment of the wicked it has a heaven, but no hell a Christ but no Cross a leader, but no Lord a lamp but no light. It tells men to cheer up, think good thoughts, believe in himself, turn over a new leaf, chip in and help keep the wheels of the Church machinery moving, and everything will come out right in the end. The gospel of gush teaches that man is not so very bad that He has a Divine » spark, which only needs to be blown upon by some twentieth century faddist and the spark will be fanned into a flame of holy love. The Gospel of Grace is a Gospel of Love, founded upon truth and righteousness it exalts God in His character as Father, Son and Spirit. The Gospel of Grace raises penitent rebels to a place of prominence above that of the holy angels it lays stress upon what y God has done through His Son for a ruined world, and glorifies the risen Lord. It sets forth the fact of sin with no uncertain sound it includes all men in one class, as sinners ^ without a vestige of righteousness it presents Jesus Christ as the Saviour of all who are willing to accept Him as their atoning sacrifice and acknowledge * t Him as their Lord and Master. The real Gospel-the true Gospel-centers in " J e s us Christ and Him crucified." It has ™ to do with lost souls, separated by sin from the life of God. How wide is the distinction between thé Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and that other gospel of which Paul speaks, and which is indeed Iio gospel.

This is what I mean by hiding God's Word in our heart. That is the meaning of definite hiding of God's Word in our heart. Then it means application to myself, it means prayer for grace, it means the yielding of the heart tp God, and it means rising up to obey. ![]() Study is attention, but meditation is attention and also intention.
