Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
A New Outlook
Oh, my beloved today, He didn’t come to make us happy, He came to make us holy. He didn’t come to give us a lift, He came to give us life. A new hat is a poor substitute for a new heart. It’s not important that you’re in the Easter Parade. The important thing is do you have resurrection power. Many of us need to exchange a new outfit for a new outlook. Coming to church is not the answer. It means to come to grips with the living Christ today. He was raised 1900 years ago. That’s a fact that can be substantiated, but it means nothing to you until you come to grips with Him and, by faith, accept Him and receive Him as your Savior.

Daily Promises
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)
Trust not in the power of your own strength nor in the might of your own will to accomplish good, O believer! Your sanctification is not a matter of dominating yourself through discipline! You have no ability of your own to effect righteous works in your life! Trust, rather, in God! Place your faith in the Spirit to work in you for righteousness!
The Source Of True Joy
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. -- Psalm 4:7
Once you experience the joy of God, you will quickly realize that the joy of this world doesn't compare.

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (April 23rd)
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." — Romans 8:37
We go to Christ for forgiveness, and then too often look to the law for power to fight our sins. Paul thus rebukes us, "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" Take your sins to Christ's cross, for the old man can only be crucified there: we are crucified with Him. The only weapon to fight sin with is the spear which pierced the side of Jesus. To give an illustration-you want to overcome an angry temper, how do you go to work? It is very possible you have never tried the right way of going to Jesus with it. How did I get salvation? I came to Jesus just as I was, and I trusted Him to save me. I must kill my angry temper in the same way? It is the only way in which I can ever kill it. I must go to the cross with it, and say to Jesus, "Lord, I trust Thee to deliver me from it." This is the only way to give it a death-blow. Are you covetous? Do you feel the world entangle you? You may struggle against this evil so long as you please, but if it be your besetting sin, you will never be delivered from it in any way but by the blood of Jesus. Take it to Christ. Tell Him, "Lord, I have trusted Thee, and Thy name is Jesus, for Thou dost save Thy people from their sins; Lord, this is one of my sins; save me from it!" Ordinances are nothing without Christ as a means of mortification. Your prayers, and your repentances, and your tears-the whole of them put together-are worth nothing apart from Him. "None but Jesus can do helpless sinners good;" or helpless saints either. You must be conquerors through Him who hath loved you, if conquerors at all. Our laurels must grow among His olives in Gethsemane.
