If we are genuine, committed Christians, intent upon walking by faith with our Lord Jesus Christ, then we are continually confessing that we are pilgrims and that we are strangers! The Holy Spirit, who is the real author of this Letter to the Hebrews, uses the terms pilgrims and strangers to remind the early Christians … Continue reading “PILGRIMS;
HEAVEN: LONGING FOR”

It was the belief in the accountability of man to his maker that made America a great nation. Among those earlier leaders was Daniel Webster whose blazing eyes and fiery oratory often held the Senate spellbound. In those days the Congress was composed of strong, noble statesmen who carried the weight of the nation in … Continue reading “POLITICS;
AMERICA: GREATNESS; ACCOUNTABILITY”

Any form of human government, however lofty, deals with the citizen only as long as he lives. At the graveside it bids him adieu.

If we would love righteousness until it became an overpowering passion, if we would renounce everything that … Continue reading “PERSECUTION;
