Bogatsky's Golden Treasury for the Children of God by Carl Heinrich von Bogatzky Pdf
Excerpt from Bogatsky's Golden Treasury for the Children of God: Consisting of Devotional and Practical Observations for Every Day in the Year Reader, how is this work going on with you! Have you the same life and spirit you once had: or are you more feeble-minded! Is a spirit of languor and deadness creeping upon you! Are you bewailing the want of that sweet experience of the power and presence of God which you once had? Are you, like Job, crying out, O that I were as in months past, when the candle of the Lord shined upon me! Wilt thou not revive, wilt thou not enlighten my darkness '3 If this is your complaint, go to the throne of grace: go often to the living Stone, that you, as a lively stone in the building, may be. Built up in faith, love, and joy. Your enemies are many, are subtle, and strong, but they shall not prevail; your Redeemer is strong, the Lord of Hosts is his name: He shall arise and thoroughly plead your cause, and give you rest. In the primitive church, upon the plentiful effusion of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost, how amiable the spirit of love to Christ and his truths, of warm nu affected devotion, of union, concord, and brotherly love, among themselves! They were all of one heart and of one soul. At the Reformation from Popery, how warm and hold was the zeal of the venerable Reformers, in con tending for, and promoting the pure doctrines of the gospel! How wonderful their success, under the countenance of the Most High! In later times, how have we seen religion revive in some places, while it was remarkably declining in others! When purity of faith and purity in practice prevail in any church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
