1/16/64 The subject tonight is “The Larger Venture.” Sir Winston Churchill made the statement that “The destiny of mankind is not determined by material computation. But when great causes are on the move in the world, then we realize that we are spirits, not animals, and that something is going on in space and time and beyond space and time, which, whether you believe it or not, spells duty.” Now you and I, today, we…

02-20-1969   Recently I read a book called, Vanished Parts of Yesterday, by Lord Frederick Hamilton. In it he tells the story of Catherine the Great . . who, when she found the first violet of spring, ordered a sentry to be placed over it to protect it from being plucked. Forgetting to rescind the order, day and night, summer and winter, a sentry stood where 150 years ago, a violet bloomed. The new generation…

11-07-1969   In the 64th chapter of the Book of Isaiah we read: “O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay. Thou art our potter; we are the work of thy hand.” When you hear the words Lord, Father, and potter, do you think of another? I certainly hope not. The word “Lord” is Jod He Vau He [pron. “Yod Hey Vav Hey”] which is defined as “I AM”. Your own wonderful I…

07-24-1968   Tonight’s subject is: The Man Within. This “Man Within” is Jesus Christ, the image of God, called in Scripture, “The Son of God.” Now, unless this Christ in us is raised to ever higher and higher levels, then God cannot fulfill His purpose. Now, listen to these words carefully, from “A Little Boy Lost” by William Blake. He said: Nought loves another as itself, Nor venerates another so, Nor is it possible to…

10-28-1966   Tonight’s subject is “The Miraculous Child.” This child will not appear to the world, for they are so fixed in their misconceptions of Scripture, and there is no dead weight so heavy. But tonight I wish you would pay special attention, as I want to introduce you to this miraculous child. For “Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born, if he is not born in thee, thy soul is still forlorn.”…

1970   Tonight is a bit of a riddle, but you listen carefully, for it’s very, very important. It is “The Morning Star,” a promise made to man. “He who conquers … I will give him the morning star.” (Revelation 2:26, 28 RSV ) Then, in a realization of this promise, he identifies himself as the morning star. He says, “I AM the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.” (Revelation 22:16…

Tonight’s title is: “The Most Precious Gift.” If He Who created the Universe and all within it gave it to you, and with the whole vast universe owned by you, you would consider that the greatest gift in the world. And, yet, He gave you something far greater than that. He gave you Himself! God actually became as you are, that you may be as He is. If you owned the Universe and it slowly…

11/10/67 You know, quite often I find myself taking too much for granted. Because I read scripture all day, really, I’m inclined to believe most people do…and they don’t. So yesterday a friend said that he lives so far away and could I favor him with simply a short visit and he would drive in these many miles if I would see him. In talking to him…now he’s been coming here for quite a while,…

 06-7-1971   In the letters of Blake, there is one where he wrote to the Reverend Trusler . . the Reverend Dr. Trusler, who had criticized him for his works, and said to Blake, “You need someone to elucidate your works.” So, Blake wrote him and said, “You ought to know that what can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care. And the wisest of the Ancients considered what was not…

01-31-1969   Baptism on this level is a symbolic representation of being raised to the realization of being God the Father. In his letter, Paul tells the Ephesians that there is only one baptism. This occurs prior to the realization of being God the Father. And in Paul’s letter to the Romans he states: ‘We are buried with Christ by a baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the…
