Devotion
Modeling Growth
Prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves (James 1:22). I am learning about pastors and missionaries across the country who are preaching against the very sins they are committing themselves. Nationally known Christian personalities who vehemently condemn immorality have themselves been found to be hiding an immoral lifestyle. Those […]
Our Transfer
He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). Perhaps you have heard the illustration of the two dogs. Some people say that we have two natures within us vying for control of our lives. They claim that our old sin nature, which we […]
Revelation
[Christians], at their best, know that often they don’t know. They do not have all the answers. They do not have God in their pocket. We cannot answer every question that any bright boy in the back row might ask. We have only light enough to walk by. — Howard A. Johnson (1915- ) When […]
A Radical, Inner Transformation
By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain (1 Corinthians 15:10). If you believe that you are part light and part darkness, part saint and part sinner, you will live in a very mediocre manner with little to distinguish you from the non-Christian. You […]
Sacrament
He was the Word, that spake it: He took the bread and brake it; And what that Word did make it, I do believe and take it. John Donne. 1573-1631. Divine Poems. On the Sacrament There is more in sacramental bread than in common bread. Though the nature is not changed, the use is changed. […]
The Essence Of Temptation
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). I have found that many Christians struggle with the distinction between temptation and sin. Bombarded by tempting thoughts, they conclude that there must be […]
Sacrifice
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose. Jim Elliot To gain that worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else. Bernadette Devlin It is in spending oneself that one becomes rich. Sara Bernhardt — Graham J Weeks
Sanctification
From easy choices, weakenings, (Not thus are spirits fortified; Not this way went the Crucified;) From all that dims Thy Calvary, 0 Lamb of God, deliver me. Give me the love that leads the way, The faith that nothing can dismay, The hope no disappointments tire, The passion that will burn like fire; Let me […]
Do You Have Hope?
Read: 1 Thessalonians 1 You turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven. -1 th. 1:9-10 Several years ago, millionaire Eugene Lang was asked to speak to a class of sixth-graders from East Harlem, New York. What could he say to inspire these […]
Beware Of The Bear!
Read: Hosea 13:1-8 I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs. -Hosea 13:8 If you have visited Alaska, you have no doubt seen warnings about the bears that roam the wilderness. Experienced old-timers who know the habits of bears offer these suggestions for safety" * Don’t climb a tree. Bears climb. * […]
