Thoughts of

A Deadly Sin

Joseph Parker


Jesus calls a slanderous spirit a beam, compared with which any other mistake is a little thin splinter. Here is a man that condemns every poor creature that is overtaken in a fault.

He has no sympathy with such. The man took a glass of whisky too much, lost his equilibrium, was seen in a reeling state—that circumstance is reported to the man who only indulges in slanderous criticism, and the man immediately calls for the excommunication of the erring brother from the church, not knowing that he himself is drunk, but not with wine, drunk with a hostile spirit, drunk with uncharitableness.


If I had been guilty of this ineffable meanness, I would preach to myself as loudly and keenly as to any other man,—if I had been guilty of speaking an unkind word about any human creature, or suspecting the honesty of any man.

If ever I had said about a brother minister, “He is a fine man in many respects, a noble creature, kind, chivalrous, grand of soul, but—,” if ever I have said that but, God will punish me for it.

We do not lay hold of this great truth sufficiently. We think that a little slander is of no consequence.

To be called up before the church and condemned for slander! Condemn the drunkard, turn out the man who by infinite pressure has committed some sin—turn him out—certainly, and never go after him, and never care what becomes of him, let a wolf gnaw him—only get rid of him:—if we go home and speak unkindly of man, woman, or child, who is the great sinner; the drunkard we have just expelled, or the closely-shaven, highly-polished Christian who does nothing but filch his neighbor’s good name?—PARKER.



Trust in Him No matter what you are going through in life, you can trust God to be with you.

Some Positive Thing We Can Look at or Talk

Joyce Meyer
I once read a book that was based entirely on the word. He taught the reader to take each problem in his life, look at it honestly and then say “however,” and find something compensating positive in the individual's life that would put the problem into perspective.
The Bible makes it clear that we need to love each other as God loves us.

Learning the Love Languages

Gary Chapman
Many couples earnestly love each other but do not communicate their love in an effective way. If you don’t speak your spouse’s primary love language, he or she may not feel loved, even when you are showing love in other ways.
Why is it important to understand the distinction of the Spirit? Because He’s the one to whom we relate.

The Voice of the Spirit Within Us

Chris Tiegreen
We don’t understand the mysteries of the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit, but we do know each has a distinct role in our lives. When Jesus tells His disciples about the work of the Spirit, He explains that the Spirit will hear from Jesus Himself, who in turn has heard from the Father.
If you already know the joy of Jesus, pray now for those who don’t yet understand that God wants them to invite his Son into their hearts.

Humbly Choosing God

Katie Brazelton
I’m convinced God will do anything for those who are meek, anything at all that’s in their best interest. When we humbly understand who we are in relation to him, our lives begin to make sense with a newfound confidence in him, his power, and his ways.
If you pursue anything in the spiritual realm, pursue a perfect balance of truth and love.

Truth and Love

John MacArthur
The apostle John was always committed to truth, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, but it is not enough. Zeal for the truth must be balanced by love for people.

Biographies

Joseph Parker

In 1880, In Northumberland, England, Joseph Parker was born. It is a fact worth recording that the county where he had his birth has produced “such a lawyer as Lord Eldon, such an engineer as George Stephenson, and such a preacher as Thomas Binney.” Dr. Parker regards his training for the ministry as having begun at seven years of age.
