“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew...

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. Ps. 103:2, 3 “The Saviour ministered to both the soul and the body. The gospel which He taught was a message of spiritual life and of physical restoration. Deliverance from sin and healing of disease were linked together. The same ministry is committed to the Christian physician. He is to unite with Christ in relieving both the physical and spiritual needs of his fellow men. He is to be to the sick a messenger of mercy, bringing to them a remedy for the diseased body and for the sin-sick soul. When the poor paralytic was brought to the house where Jesus was teaching, a dense crowd surrounded the door, barring every way of access to the Saviour. But faith and hope had been kindled in the heart of the poor sufferer, and he proposed that his friends take him to the rear of the house, break up the roof, and let him down into the presence of Christ. The suggestion was acted upon; as the afflicted one lay at the feet of the mighty Healer, all that man could do for his restoration had been done. Jesus knew that the sufferer had been tortured with a sense of his sins, and that he must first find relief from this burden. With a look of tenderest compassion, the Saviour addressed him, not as a stranger, or even a friend, but as one who had even then been received into the family of God: “Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.” Many are suffering from maladies of the soul far more than from diseases of the body, and they will find no relief until they shall come to Christ, the wellspring of life. Complaints of weariness, loneliness, and dissatisfaction will then cease. Satisfying joys will give vigor to the mind and health and vital energy to the body. Today Christ is feeling the woes of every sufferer. . . . He knows how to speak the word, “Be whole,” and bid the sufferer, “Go, and sin no more.” From My Life Today – Page 159 ~Ellen G....

O Glorious Love 1. In my darkness Jesus found me; Touched my eyes and made me see; Broke sin’s chains that long had bound me; Gave me life and liberty! CHORUS Oh, glorious love of Christ my Lord divine, That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine. Through all my days, and then in heaven above, My song will silence never, I’ll worship Him forever, And praise Him for His glorious love. 2. Oh, amazing truth to ponder; He whom angel hosts attend, Lord of Heaven, God’s Son, what wonder; He became the sinner’s friend! John W....
