From the Record of Christian Work, Volume 40 (1921) – words of A. B. Simpson. Simpson passed away in 1919 but apparently the journal continued to publish some of his devotional thoughts. they also gave a positive review of Thompson’s biography of A.B. Simpson, published shortly after he died. [Simpson was the founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance church]
“When we cease from our works, God works in us. When we cease from our thoughts, God’s thoughts come into us. When we get still from our restless activity, God worketh in us both to will and to do his good pleasure, and we have but to work it out.” (p. 968)
“Thanksgiving is the outcome of remembering the goodness of God. Forgetfulness produces fretfulness. Meditation inspires praise, which in turn fosters joy.” (p. 906)
“True peace is found only in the presence and possession of God, which consists in believing his Word and obeying his will. Worry kills joy, and gnaws out the very heart of gladness; but the death stroke to fretting care is, ‘Rejoice in the Lord.’” (p. 825)
