Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Take Up Your Cross
Christ gives the believer a cross to take-up before He gives him a crown to wear. God calls His redeemed ones to prepare not only for service, but also for suffering: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me”...
Who Am I?
I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them - quickly and correctly. I...
Mistaken Identity
Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God. @thomassowell
All Hat And No Cattle
All talk and no walk.
A Prayer For The Sabbath: Man’s Great End
LORD OF ALL BEING, there is one thing that deserves my greatest attention, that calls forth my fervent desire. It is that I may answer the great end for which I am made: to glorify You who has given me being, and to do all the good I can for my fellow man. Indeed,...
We Are Not To Be Passive Observers
God took the first step to rescue us from this corrupt world. By His divine power, He has given us everything we need for living a godly life. He has done all this for a reason: that we might participate in His own nature and reflect His own life. We are not to be...
There Is No Telling
She has done what she could. Mark 14:8a Wes Stafford writes about a teacher assigned to work with a hospitalized schoolchild on nouns and adverbs. Arriving at the hospital, she was taken to the burn unit. She had to scrub and put on sterile attire, and she found the...
Fear
"The greatness of God rouses fear within us. But His goodness encourages us not to be afraid of Him. To fear and not be afraid, that is the paradox of faith." Adapted, A. W. Tozer (1897 - 1963)
Sinners, All
Listen Up, The Word Of God gives us the standard to which every Believer is called: "They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too." Romans 1:32 NLT Those who...
A Certain Sinner
Describing a certain sinner: This man does not need to be restored; he needs to be born again.
God And Sovereignty
If God is not sovereign, God is not God.
MY GOD,
Thou hast helped me to see, that whatever good be in honour and rejoicing, how good is he who gives them, and can withdraw them. That blessedness does not lie so much in receiving good from and in thee, but in holding forth thy glory and virtue. That it is an amazing...
Even Though
Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty, I will still be joyful and glad, because the LORD God is my...
Only God
For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. Psalm 107:9 NKJV Nothing else will satisfy your soul. Not riches. Not things. Not a new car. Not a vacation. Not a dream house. Not a sport or hobby. Not sexual pleasure. Not food. Not...
What Is At Stake?
There are two ways to die. The first is to be welcomed into God's presence for eternity (Note 1): "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Psalm 116:15 That is one way. The other way is to "die in your sins." John 8:21, 24 If you die in your...
All I Want To Know Is How Much
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Peter 1:18-19 NIV The things...
Yes
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are all Yes in Christ. And so through Him the Amen is spoken by us to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 1:20, Adapted.
In The Beginning
We are called out of darkness into light, to wit: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And then the...
