I’m way behind on blogging this book (the last post was almost three months ago), but I do have a way of finishing things — eventually. From The Holiest of All, chapter 22, by Andrew Murray (emphasis mine): The word of the quotation (Hebrews 3:7-11) first point us to what is the great privilege of [...]

From The Holiest of All, chapter 21, by Andrew Murray (emphasis mine): How often does it happen—both after times of revival and special effort, and also in the ordinary work of the church—that those who ran well for a time get so entangled in the business or the pleasure of life, or the literature, politics, [...]
The Holiest of All, Part 10
Posted in Andrew Murray, Books, Christianity, Theology on November 21, 2010 |
From The Holiest of All, chapters 17-20, by Andrew Murray (emphasis mine): The only way for us to come from under the power of Satan and death was to lay off that fallen nature over which they had power, to come out of that sinful life by dying to it, and, in dying, to be [...]
The Holiest of All, Part 9
Posted in Andrew Murray, Books, Christianity, Theology on November 14, 2010 |
From The Holiest of All, chapters 14-16, by Andrew Murray: There was no way to come out of the fallen nature—with the power of self and self-will ruling it—but by entirely dying to it; suffering anything rather than letting it have its way. His (Jesus’) allegiance to God was absolute. He proved to us that [...]
The Holiest of All, Part 8

From The Holiest of All, chapter 13, by Andrew Murray: His death was proof of His resistance to sin and its temptation, of His readiness to give up life rather than yield to sin. The one view is that of substitution, in other words, Christ doing what I cannot do. The other view is that [...]

From The Holiest of All, chapters 10 and 11, by Andrew Murray: There is no fellowship with the Father except through the Son, and no fellowship with the Son and His salvation except through the Holy Spirit in us. As complete as Adam’s communication of a sinful nature was will be Christ’s impartation of a [...]

From The Holiest of All, chapter 7, by Andrew Murray: Christ is the King eternal. His dominion is an everlasting dominion…. Eternal is that in which each moment always exists in its full strength—immovable and unchangeable. Christ, our King and our God, is annointed with the oil of joy. He is annointed, too, to give [...]

Posted in Andrew Murray, Books, Christianity, Theology on October 16, 2010 |
From The Holiest of All, chapters 5 and 6, by Andrew Murray: The superior excellence of the New Testament over the Old consists in this: that God has spoken to us and has wrought salvation for us in His Son. It is only the heart that yields to be led by the Holy Spirit that [...]
The Holiest of All, Part 4
Posted in Andrew Murray, Books, Christianity, Theology on October 14, 2010 |
From The Holiest of All, chapter 4, by Andrew Murray (emphasis mine): The fact of Christ being seated on the throne in heaven means we can actually be brought—through the supernatural power that the Holy Spirit supplies—into God’s holy presence, living there our daily life. It was because the Hebrews did not know this—because they [...]

From The Holiest of All, chapter 3, by Andrew Murray: We know that whatever a man sets his heart on exercises a mighty influence on his life and leaves its stamp upon his character…. He who sets his heart upon the living God will find the living God taking possession of and filling his heart. [...]

I started posting quotes from The Holiest of All, by Andrew Murray, yesterday. Here’s part 2, from chapter 1: The Son—In Whom God has spoken. Men’s words appeal to the mind or the will, the feelings or the passions. God speaks to what is deeper than all: the heart, that central depth withing us where [...]
