“Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them.”—Matthew 6:1, margin. We are to give in sincerity, not to make a show of our good deeds, but from pity and love to the suffering ones. Sincerity of purpose, real kindness of heart, is the motive that Heaven values...

Chapter 4—The True Motive in Service “Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them.”—Matthew 6:1, margin. The words of Christ on the mount were an expression of that which had been the unspoken teaching of His life, but which the people had failed to comprehend...

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”—Matthew 5:48. The word “therefore” implies a conclusion, an inference from what has gone before. Jesus has been describing to His hearers the unfailing mercy and love of God, and He bids them therefore to be perfect...

“Love your enemies.”—Matthew 5:44. The Saviour's lesson, “Resist not him that is evil,” was a hard saying for the revengeful Jews, and they murmured against it among themselves. But Jesus now made a still stronger declaration: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy...

That sounds like the story of Balaam, it does have some humor and is referenced in more than one place, the main story is in Numbers 22, it’s worth it to read the entire encounter but the verse below is a high point for the reader, a low point for Balaam. [Num 22:23 KJV] 23 And the ass saw the...

Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”—Matthew 5:39, R. V. The Father's presence encircled Christ, and nothing befell Him but that which infinite love permitted for the blessing of the world. Here was His source of comfort, and...

“Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”—Matthew 5:39, R. V. Occasions of irritation to the Jews were constantly arising from their contact with the Roman soldiery. Detachments of troops were stationed at different points...

This is a great idea, it could be a powerful presentation to any church’s local community.

I believe the problem has been solved but there is a setting in notepad that turns formatting on and off. It appears that it was in the off position in this sample.

“Swear not at all.”—Matthew 5:34. The reason for this command is given: We are not to swear “by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou...

This was the verse I was thinking about when I saw this post by a young preacher’s wife. Being old, I forgot to include it. BUT, here are a few more: [Mat 18:10 KJV] 10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the...
