With God At Dawn

Men must have moral backbone, and integrity which cannot be flattered, bribed, or terrified.

If our lives are filled with holy fragrance, if we honor God by having good thoughts toward others, and Good deeds to bless others, it matters not whether we live in a cottage or a palace. Circumstances have a little to do with the experiences of the soul.

We are living in the perils of the last days. All heaven is interested in the characters you are forming. Every provision has been made for you, that you should be a partaker of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through last.

Integrity firmness and perseverance are qualities that all should seek earnestly to cultivate for they clothe the possessor with a power which is irresistible, a power which makes him strong to do good, strong to resist evil, strong to bear adversity.

When a man is truly converted, he becomes a son of god, a partaker of the Divine nature.

Ignorance is no excuse now for the transgression of law. The light shines clearly, and none need be ignorant, for the great God himself is man's instructor.

While everything in nature is governed by natural laws, man alone, of all that inhabits the earth, is amenable to moral law.

Everything speaks and acts the will of the creator. Cloud and sunshine, dew and rain, wind and storm, all are under the supervision of God, and yield implicit obedience to his command.

When we know God as it is our privilege to know him, our life will be a life of continual obedience.

The wind is heard among the branches of the trees rustling the leaves and flowers yet it is invisible and no man knows when it comes or whither it goes. So with the work of the Holy Spirit upon the heart.

The change of heart by which we become children of God is in the Bible's book of his birth. Again, it is compared to the germination of the good seed.

As of old he entreats the erring ones who profess his name to repent and turn from their evil ways. Now, as then, by the mouth of his chosen servants he predicts the dangers before them.

The steps upward to heaven must be taken one at a time every advanced step strengthens us for the next.
