The best way to keep the enemy out is to keep Christ in. The sheep need not be terrified by the wolf; they have but to stay close to the shepherd. It is not the praying sheep Satan fears but the presence of the shepherd. Isaiah 40:11; John 10:11–15, 27–29; Revelation 7:14–17 Born After Midnight, … Continue reading “SATAN;
JESUS CHRIST: INTIMACY WITH”

Is Satan giving you a hard time in your life of faith—in the Christian race you are running? Expect it if you are a believing child of God! Satan hates your God. He hates Jesus Christ. He hates your faith. You should be aware of the devil’s evil intentions. He wants you to lose the … Continue reading “SATAN;
OPPOSITION”

There is another and worse evil which springs from this basic failure to grasp the radical difference between the natures of the two worlds. It is the habit of languidly “acceptg” salvation as if it were a small matter and one wholly in our hands. Men are exhorted to think things over and “decide” for … Continue reading “SALVATION:
SOVEREIGN CALLING; EVANGELISM: WRONG EMPHASIS; GOSPEL: ACCEPT CHRIST”

Let us get it straight. Jesus Christ does not just offer us salvation as though it is a decoration or a bouquet or some addition to our garb. He says plainly: “Throw off your old rags; strip to the skin! Let me dress you in the fine clean robes of My righteousness—all Mine. Then, if … Continue reading “SALVATION:
TRANSFORMATION”

The evangelical church today is in the awkward position of being wrong while it is right, and a little preposition makes the difference.… One place where we are wrong while we are right is in the relative stress we lay upon the prepositions to and from when they follow the word saved. For a long … Continue reading “SALVATION:
FROM/TO; WORSHIP: FOR ETERNITY”

Sometimes preachers get carried away and start sermonizing on the great calamities posed by communism and secularism and materialism. But our greatest calamity is the closed heaven, the silent heaven. God meant for us to be in fellowship with Him. When the heavens are closed, men are left to themselves. They are without God.… But … Continue reading “SALVATION:
INVITATION TO”

It has been suggested here before that life, for all its apparent complexities, is at bottom very simple indeed if we could only realize it. Thank God, only a few things matter. The rest are incidental and unimportant.… What really matters after all? My personal relation to God matters. That takes priority over everything else. … Continue reading “SALVATION:
PREPARATION FOR ETERNITY; EARTHLY THINGS”

Popular evangelicalism has been selling out to the worldly spirit and worldly methods to a point where Hollywood now has more influence than Jerusalem ever had. Youth take for their examples not the saints of old but the stars of today. The chaste dignity and sparkling purity of true Christianity has been displaced by a … Continue reading “ROLE
MODELS; WORLD: IMITATION OF; CELEBRITIES”

Our Lord knew that in these times there would be those in our churches who are just highly-groomed show pieces of Christianity—middle class and well-to-do, satisfied with a religious life that costs them nothing. Oh, yes, we do tithe! But the nine-tenths that we keep is still a hundred times more than our mothers and … Continue reading “SACRIFICE;
GIVING”

I have been asked more than once what I gave up when I was converted and became a believing child of God. I was a young man, and I well remember that I gave up the hot and smelly rubber factory. I was making tires for an hourly wage, and I gave that up to … Continue reading “SACRIFICE;
RICHES IN CHRIST; PERSONAL TESTIMONY: TOZER”
