“In Christ's resurrection, therefore, the Christian man sees the earnest and pledge of his own resurrection; and by it he is enheartened as he lays away the bodies of those dear to him, not sorrowing "as the rest that have no hope," but with hearts swelling with glad anticipations of the day when they shall rise to meet their Lord. "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will He bring with Him.” IfsMenBelieveHeartBodyChristianJesusChristLordDiedLaysRoseDearGladFallenResurrectionAnticipationEasterEarnestPledgeNo HopeSwelling Author:B.

“Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith.

Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and the Lord Jesus in glory.” IfsMenWayWantBelieveSoulCareChristianJesusPrayerAnswersLordBlessingGloryDrawsThronesEarnestMessengersAngelicFetchGod BlessingFaith Prayers Book:Morning by Morning Source: Morning by Morning
“Officers in the Church of Jesus Christ are called for two distinct purposes: First and foremost, to serve the people; and, secondly, to gain the development and enlarged understanding which always follow earnest service in a responsible position. It is an honorable privilege and a personal benefit to be allowed to serve in an official position in the Church; and an office, whatever it may be, should be accepted in a spirit of grateful appreciation.” PeopleShouldFirstsMayTwoSpiritPurposeJesusUnderstandingChristChurchPositionDevelopmentOfficeBenefitsGainsJesus ChristResponsibleGratefulPrivilegeAppreciationAcceptedOfficialsOfficersHonorableEarnest Author:John Andreas Widtsoe
