10-21-1969   We are told in Paul’s letter to the Romans that this world is a world of sorrow. Then he gives us the reason and the glorious end it produces, saying: “I consider the sufferings of this present time not worth comparing to the glory that is to be revealed in us. The creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was made subject unto futility…

10-17-1957   As you know, we feel that life should be a perpetual increase of the things you love! That, to me is the art of living. In man’s ability to live in the end, to live in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, lies man’s capacity to live the more abundant life. I do not care what your objective is; feeling that you have it is living a more, abundant life. First, tonight, let…

2/17/67 The title is “Remembrance of Things Future.” I have so much to tell you within this hour it’s almost like a concentration. I should really have days to tell it there’s so much within this one thought, “remembrance of things future.” In the most controversial book in the Bible, Ecclesiastes, if you read it, and I hope you have, you think the whole thing is hopeless, for we are told there that there’s nothing…

11-03-1969   When the Rev. Dr. Trusler criticized Blake, saying he needed someone to elucidate his ideas, Blake replied: “You ought to know that what is grand is necessarily obscure to the weak. You also ought to know that what can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care. The wisest of the Ancients considered what is not too explicit as fittest for instruction because it rouses the faculties to act. I…

04-19-1971   Today we read: “I say, You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you, nevertheless, you will die like men.” (Psalm 82:1) Does this not imply that you are not men? If you are men when addressed, then the sentence, “You will die like men,” is without meaning. You are told, “You are sons of God, … but you will die like men.” Now we turn to Paul’s letter as he…

02-12-1968   It is God’s purpose to give himself to you as though there were no other! And when He does, it will not be you and God, but you as God! Although it seems impossible for the God who created the universe and all within it, to give himself to one who is born in time and will die in time, it is true. Ask a devoted Christian who knows his Bible if he…

05-7-1971     When we open the Bible, we are looking, not at secular history, but salvation history. Man, not knowing that, has misinterpreted most of the great truths of Scripture. They are all mysteries, and these mysteries are not matters to be kept secret; they are simply mysterious in character. We will take quite a few tonight and try to piece them together for you, and then tell you my personal experience that will…

06-21-1971   I thought that this last week should be both practical and idealistic. So we will start on the practical side. He said, “Think not that I am come to abolish the law and the prophets. I have come, not to abolish the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17) Now, the One speaking is now present within you. When He awakes, you will hear these words. You will find them…

  12/8/67 (??) the season of the year where the whole Christian world will celebrate the great event. Here is the season of Advent, the coming of the greatest of all events. For were it not for this event you and I would be automatons forever and forever. So what is this great event? May I tell you, I can tell you from experience what it is. I am not theorizing. I am not speculating….

06-10-1956   As you have been told, this morning’s subject is Seedtime and Harvest. Although it bears the same title as my latest book, it is not to be found in that book, for that book is an attempt to interpret some of the more difficult passages of the Bible. I have given you in the nine chapters a mystical view, and also a certain approach how you yourself may approach the interpretation of the…
