God has a people who serve Him all the time … We are apt to

forget that and think that the meetings are the only time of

service. But the thought is that we must all come as

worshippers, we must come in that spirit … It is put very

strikingly here (Hebrews 13: 15),

“the fruit of the lips confessing his name”; that is not public

confession to man, it is purely to God. Do we habituate

ourselves to confessing to the blessed God how we know Him

and appreciate the way He has made Himself known to us? ...

That is to go on continually, not at stated times, but you are

always in tune for this blessed service. You put into the hands

of Christ an offering that is suitable for Him to present. If a

company of persons were on this line from Monday morning to

Saturday night, what sort of meetings would there be when

they came together?
