Ideas that comfort and heal!

This week's Bible-Lesson sermon is:

Everlasting Punishment

Ye have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven;

(Matthew 5:43-45) 

What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds. . . . The habitual struggle to be always good is unceasing prayer. Its motives are made manifest in the blessings they bring, -- blessings which, even if not acknowledged in audible words, attest our worthiness to be partakers of Love.
