The resolution of the assembly to punish the Gibeathites. The Benjamites, beg required to deliver up the offenders, instead of complying gather themselves together against the other tribes. By the direction of God Judah goeth up first against them; but the Israelites are repulsed with great loss. They renew the fight the second day, and are again defeated with a great slaughter. They seek to God with fasting and sacrifices, and are promised success. They make use of a stratagem, and destroy all the Benjamites, with all that belonged to them, except six hundred men, who flee to the rock Rimmon. Judges 20 Preface - Paul is accused before Felix by Tertullus in the name of the Jews: he answereth in defence of his life and doctrine. The hearing is deferred. Paul preaching freely before the governor and his wife, Felix trembleth. Felix hopeth for a bribe to release Paul, but in vain; and going out of his office leaveth him bound. Acts 24 Daily Light - Morning The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. - Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. - We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. - When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.... For now we see through a glas, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I kow even as also I am known. - Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Pro. 4.18; Phil. 3.12; Hos. 6.3 Mt. 13.43; 2 Co. 3.18; 1 Co. 13.10,12; 1 Jn. 3.2-3 Daily Light - Evening Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Him that cometh to me I will in now wise cast out. - Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. - What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? - I will put my spirit within you.... Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of. This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Ro. 10.13; Jn. 6.37; Lu. 23.42-43; Mt. 20.32-34 Lu. 11.13; Ezek. 36.27,37 1 Jn. 5.14-15 A Puritans Catechism Q15 - Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgression? A - The covenant being made with Adam, not only for himself, but for his posterity; all mankind, descending from him by ordinary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him, in his first transgression. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 6 The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men. (9) Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word, (10) and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed. (11) 9) 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Gal. 1:8,9 10) John 6:45; 1 Cor. 2:9-12 11) 1 Cor. 11:13,14; 1 Cor. 14:26,40 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Confidence in God Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8 v 37 The world often comes against us like armed men; but, if God be for us, who can be against us'. 'The people shall be like bread.' It is as easy to overcome all opposition when God is with us, as for a hungry man to eat bread. It was God that girded Cyrus, though he did not know him. So he does still: worldly men are a rod in God's hand. God puts it this way or that way, to fulfil all His pleasure; and when He has done with it, He will break it in pieces, and cast it into the fire. 'So fear not them that kill the body, and after that, have no more that they can do.' Oh! if you would live by faith, you might live a happy lif1e
