The Bible gives us a straightforward message concerning Noah. It is simply this: “Demonstrate your faith in God in your everyday life!” It is evident that God did not say to Noah: “I am depending on you to hold the proper orthodox doctrines. Everything will be just fine if you stand up for the right … Continue reading “NOAH;
OBEDIENCE: NEED FOR; DOCTRINE; FAITH: DAILY WALK”

But we tend to dicker with God and try to get an easy way. “Lord, I want to be blessed, but I don’t want it to cost me this much. Couldn’t we talk this thing over?” “No,” says God,” we can’t talk this thing over. My rules are my rules and my Word is my … Continue reading “OBEDIENCE:
COST OF”

If we are alert enough to hear God’s voice we must not content ourselves with merely “believing” it.… Commands are to be obeyed, and until we have obeyed them we have done exactly nothing at all about them. And to have heard them and not obeyed them is infinitely worse than never to have heard … Continue reading “OBEDIENCE:
NEED FOR”

Man is a born cobbler. When he wants a thing to be better he goes to work to improve it. He improves cattle by careful breeding; cars and planes by streamlining; health by diet, vitamins and surgery; plants by grafting; people by education. But God will have none of this cobbling. He makes a man … Continue reading “NEW
MAN; SALVATION: TRANSFORMATION”

I know well enough that at midnight, December 31, nothing unusual will actually happen except in my head and the heads of others like me. I will think a new year that is new only because men have arbitrarily called it so, and feel myself passing over a line that is not really there. The … Continue reading “NEW
YEAR”

Every new year is an uncharted and unknown sea. No ship has ever sailed this way before. The wisest of earth’s sons and daughters cannot tell us what we may encounter on this journey. Familiarity with the past may afford us a general idea of what we may expect, but just where the rocks lie … Continue reading “NEW
YEAR; BOLDNESS; EVANGELISM: URGENCY OF”

Elijah found out something that we are not teaching very well to new Christians. We ought to tell them that when they follow Jesus all the way, His enemies will be their enemies. We ought to tell them that they will be rejected in this world, just as Elijah—and Jesus—were rejected. We are getting our … Continue reading “NEW
BELIEVER; OPPOSITION; CHRISTIANS: IN THE WORLD”

The newborn Christian is a migrant; he has come into the kingdom of God from his old home in the kingdom of man and he must get set for the violent changes that will inevitably follow. One of the first changes will be a shift of interest from earth to heaven, from men to God, … Continue reading “NEW
BELIEVER; SALVATION: TRANSFORMATION”

The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God. Satan never knows from what direction the danger will come. Who knows when another Elijah will arise, or another Daniel? or a Luther or a Booth? Who knows when an Edwards or a Finney may go in and … Continue reading “NEW
BELIEVER; SATAN; SPIRITUAL WARFARE”

“The happiest man in the world,” said a well-known preacher some time ago, “is the new convert before he has met too many Bible teachers and seen too many church members.”… The way some Bible teachers injure the new convert is to take away his simplicity; and the way some church members do it is … Continue reading “NEW
