STAYING COMMITTED TO A DEEPER REVIVAL
As I sat pondering the topic, thinking what all it really meant, the word committed stood out to me. Do I really know what it means to be committed—committed to a deeper revival? When I think of someone who is committed, I think of a humble person who has laid down his own will and […]
A Youth Looks at God’s Care for the Future
Awhile back I was looking at some beautiful pictures of mountains. I marveled at their hugeness and God’s almighty power in making them. Then a thought struck me so solidly; it was as if someone had spoken. “If God is that great, and you freely acknowledge it, why can’t you trust Him with your life […]
AN EAR TO HEAR
I had a discussion with a friend about hearing the voice of God, the Holy Spirit, and being obedient before the Lord has to raise His voice. The story is told of two boys playing together at one of the boy’s house. The father of the one boy spoke to them to do something, and […]
AM I SUFFICIENT?
Eight hours of sleep usually refresh an adult for the next day of work, but seven hours of sleep would suffice. A ten-dollar bill should be more than sufficient to pay for a gallon of milk. If one becomes a paraplegic, he should still retain the sufficiency to use his upper body and arms. Why […]
HAST THOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT?
Could there be any greater honor than for God to place our name at the end of the title above? Most of us likely recognize the source of the heading as coming from the book of Job, and we would clearly hesitate to write our name in place of his. And yet, we would all […]
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 […]
