People prefer their logic, their powers of reason. Even when God speaks, they refuse to recognize His voice. They will not confess that God has spoken through Jesus Christ, the eternal Son. When He confronts them with their sin, they consult a psychiatrist and hope they can get their personalities “properly adjusted.” But in a … Continue reading “RATIONALISM;
LORDSHIP OF CHRIST”

But revelation is not enough! There must be illumination before revelation can get to a person’s soul. It is not enough that I hold an inspired book in my hands. I must have an inspired heart. There is the difference, in spite of the evangelical rationalist who insists that revelation is enough.… In His day, … Continue reading “RATIONALISM;
TEXTUALISM; HOLY SPIRIT: ILLUMINATION”

I suggest also that we try to acquaint ourselves as far as possible with the good and saintly souls who lived before our times and now belong to the company of the redeemed in heaven. How sad to limit our sympathies to those of our own day, when God in His providence has made it … Continue reading “READING:
CLASSICS”

Everything I read these days tells me we are experiencing a great new wave of interest in spiritism and devil worship. I take this as one of the signs that God’s age of grace and mercy is approaching the end point. It is evidence that the time may be near when He proclaims: “I have … Continue reading “PROPHECY;
JUDGMENT OF GOD: FUTURE; SATANISM”

Of course we of this generation cannot know by firsthand experience how the Word of God was read in other times. But it would be hard to conceive of our fathers having done a poorer job than we do when it comes to the public reading of the Scriptures. Most of us read the Scriptures … Continue reading “PUBLIC
READING OF SCRIPTURE”

Now, this is probably the place to consider punctuality in the work of God, also. Isn’t it strange that the very fault that would wreck a business, sink a ship, ruin a railroad, is tolerated at the very altar of God? Why is it that in the church of God so few are concerned about … Continue reading “PUNCTUALITY”

We may have differing opinions about the symbols and details of prophetic warnings, but God’s truth is here. We cannot get around it. Into history, into our world, the horsemen of the Apocalypse will come riding forth in God’s time. Dare we imagine we can live in pampered opulence—not even remembering to pray for this … Continue reading “PROPHECY;
JUDGMENT OF GOD: FUTURE”

… because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions art theological. Some knowledge of what kind of God it is that operates the universe is indispensable to a sound philosophy of life and a sane outlook on the world scene. Isaiah 45:11–12; Colossians 1:15–17 The Knowledge of … Continue reading “PROBLEMS;
PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE”

I have always felt compassion for Christian men and women who seem to major in pessimism, looking on the dark and gloomy side and never able to do anything with life’s problems but grumble about them! I meet them often, and when I do I wonder: “Can these people be reading the same Bible that … Continue reading “PROBLEMS;
TRIALS: ATTITUDE TOWARD; PESSIMISM”

I must confess that in my ministry I keep repeating some of the things I know about God and His faithful promises. Why do I insist that all Christians should know for themselves the kind of God they love and serve? It is because all the promises of God rest completely upon His character. Why … Continue reading “PROMISES
