Sin has done frightful things to us and its effect upon us is all the more deadly because we were born in it and are scarcely aware of what is happening to us. One thing sin has done is to confuse our values so that we can only with difficulty distinguish a friend from a … Continue reading “VALUES;
SIN: CONSEQUENCES OF”

The fact is that men have never in any numbers sought after truth. If we may judge people’s interests by their deeds, then of the young men and women who stream forth from our halls of learning each year the vast majority have no more than a passing and academic interest in truth. They go … Continue reading “VALUES;
TRUTH: CARELESSNESS REGARDING”

At the foundation of the Christian life lies vicarious atonement, which in essence is a transfer of guilt from the sinner to the Saviour. I well know how vigorously this idea is attacked by non-Christians, but I also know that the wise of this world in their pride often miss the treasures which the simple-hearted … Continue reading “VICARIOUS
ATONEMENT”

In a fallen world like ours unity is no treasure to be purchased at the price of compromise. Loyalty to God, faithfulness to truth and the preservation of a good conscience are jewels more precious than gold of Ophir or diamonds from the mine. For these jewels men have suffered the loss of property, imprisonment … Continue reading “UNITY;
TRUTH: IMPORTANCE OF”

Popular Judaism slew the prophets and crucified Christ. Popular Christianity killed the Reformers, jailed the Quakers and drove John Wesley into the streets. When it comes to religion, the crowds are always wrong. At any time there are a few who see, and the rest are blinded. To stand by the truth of God against … Continue reading “UNPOPULARITY;

A kind … Continue reading “VACATIONS;
SUMMER; COMMITMENT”

While truth itself is unchanging, the minds of men are porous vessels out of which truth can leak and into which error may seep to dilute the truth they contain. The human heart is heretical by nature and runs to error as naturally as a garden … Continue reading “TRUTH/ERROR”

The voice of unbelief says, “Yes, I’m a believer. I believe the Bible. I don’t like those modernists, liberals and modern scientists who deny the Bible. I would not do that for the world. I believe in God, and I believe that God will bless.” That is, He will bless at some other time, in … Continue reading “UNBELIEF;
FAITH: DEFECTIVE”

… unity of mind on the part of the people of God precedes the blessing. I have often heard people pray, “Oh Lord, send the Holy Spirit that we may become a united people.” That is all right except it is precisely backwards. The Holy Spirit comes because we are a united people; He does … Continue reading “UNITY;
CHURCH: UNITY”

You say you are going to take a Bible course. You can take a Bible study course and learn all about synthesis and analysis and all the rest. But if you are holding out on God, you might just as well read Pogo. All the courses in the world will not illuminate you inside. You … Continue reading “TRUTH:
