Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
Faithful Living
Now the real test of the Christian life, you see, is not on the arena backed by applause. It’s not before the crowd in the coliseum. There were five million martyrs who bear testimony to the truth of the gospel in the first three centuries. They laid down their lives for Christ, but did you know that there were many more million than that who bear witness by the faithful lives they live each day? Nothing spectacular; nothing sensational. Nothing outstanding. They’re just living for God. They have a purpose, they have a direction, and they have a thrilling experience.

Daily Promises
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
God's grace is greater than our weakness. When we admit our weaknesses then more of Christ's strength can be manifested in us. We are used more when we are made less.
How beautiful and how wonderful
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. — Acts 4:12
What a beautiful and wonderful Savior He is!

As to the evil which results from censorship, it is impossible to measure it, because it is impossible to tell where it ends.

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (August 18th)
"Strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house." — Jeremiah 51:51
In this account the faces of the Lord's people were covered with shame, for it was a terrible thing that men should intrude into the Holy Place reserved for the priests alone. Everywhere about us we see like cause for sorrow. How many ungodly men are now educating with the view of entering into the ministry! What a crying sin is that solemn lie by which our whole population is nominally comprehended in a National Church! How fearful it is that ordinances should be pressed upon the unconverted, and that among the more enlightened churches of our land there should be such laxity of discipline. If the thousands who will read this portion shall all take this matter before the Lord Jesus this day, He will interfere and avert the evil which else will come upon His Church. To adulterate the Church is to pollute a well, to pour water upon fire, to sow a fertile field with stones. May we all have grace to maintain in our own proper way the purity of the Church, as being an assembly of believers, and not a nation, an unsaved community of unconverted men.
Our zeal must, however, begin at home. Let us examine ourselves as to our right to eat at the Lord's table. Let us see to it that we have on our wedding garment, lest we ourselves be intruders in the Lord's sanctuaries. Many are called, but few are chosen; the way is narrow, and the gate is strait. O for grace to come to Jesus aright, with the faith of God's elect. He who smote Uzzah for touching the ark is very jealous of His two ordinances; as a true believer I may approach them freely, as an alien I must not touch them lest I die. Heartsearching is the duty of all who are baptized or come to the Lord's table. "Search me, O God, and know my way, try me and know my heart."
