"All that we have learned from our youth up must be tested and proved by the Word of God. Where we find it is true we must learn it over again, from God. And where it will not stand the test of His Word we must be not only content, but thankful to give it up; and receive Divine revelation in...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, You make comparisons here between Proverbs 4:18-22, 'the perfect day', and, Matthew 5:43-48, 'Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect', ending with 1 John 4:17 and Proverbs 4:18, with emphasis on the word 'perfect'; and the day of...

'For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name.' (Luke 1:49) Hi @theefaith, It is an exclamation of wonder, worship and praise I believe, because Mary has been so 'highly favoured (charitoo)' [Luke 1:28]. It should be our cry too, as those who have been saved by...
