THE FIRE OF GOD’S LOVE
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may […]
THE PERILS OF POPULARITY
Peril: exposure to injury, loss, or destruction. What could be perilous about being popular? Popularity is one of life’s most sought after desires. Everybody wants friends, to be loved, to be accepted and belong. What’s wrong with that, one might ask? Why is this something we need to be concerned about? What is perilous about […]
MAINTAINING CHRISTIAN MATRIMONY
Once upon a time there was a perfect marriage—one time, and from then on it was different. Adam and Eve had a perfect marriage in the Garden of Eden. They were two holy and perfect people, blended into one, making a perfect union. Then came the day when they fell into sin and the marriage […]
STRENGTH FOR THE DAY
From experiences in my life, I have been impressed lately how of ourselves, we are so weak, the devil so strong, and how we need the help of the Lord. And what we sometimes forget is the importance of encouraging our brother in the faith. I do not feel qualified to write this, as I […]
CREATION TALK
The creation gives us a glimpse of the Creator. It is as if we are looking through a glass darkly. No man has seen God, but when we consider His creation, we see, in part, what He has done and what He is capable of doing. Our understanding is so limited. Our brain cannot, to […]
THE DEVOTIONAL HEAD COVERING
“Why do you wear a covering on your head?” is a question we sisters are sometimes asked. I have replied, “It is a prayer covering. The Bible teaches that women should cover their heads when they pray. I love to wear it, and I’m ready to pray anytime.” After studying the subject, I realize there […]
Does God Exist? And is the Bible True?
Has there ever been a time in your life when you looked out into the universe and wondered, “Is there really a God out there?” In April 2001, through a series of strange circumstances, a certain man found himself speaking at an atheist convention. The audience of 250 was reasonably polite until he made the […]
HEALING
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings” (Mal. 4:2). God’s prophet, Malachi, spoke to a people well acquainted with heartache. He told them of One whose coming would be like the rising of the morning sun. As sunlight restores and reinvigorates all living things, […]
Magnify the Lord
“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord” (Luke 1:46). When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her that she would be with child, she had questions. How could it be when she was yet a virgin? She accepted Gabriel’s answer to her question. She also accepted as truth the incredible news […]
THE DUTY OF A CHRISTIAN WIFE
An essay on the topic ?The Duty of a Christian Wife? was assigned to me for a recent Christian Endeavor program. This has been a good lesson for me to study, and I see that I have much to learn! My first thought on this subject was the verse in Micah 6:8 which reads, ?He hath shewed […]
