So the elder tells John: “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne … Continue reading “ETERNITY;

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; PRIORITIES; VALUES
Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization. And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is eternity. Grant that men possess perpetual being and the preciousness of every earthly treasure is gone instantly. God is to our eternal being … Continue reading “ETERNAL

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; SCIENCE; LIFE PURPOSE
This is my position: let the scientist stay in his field and I will stay in mine. I am as glad and thankful as anyone for the benefits of research, and I hope scientists will soon find the cure of heart disease, for I have lost many good friends from sudden heart attacks. But listen … Continue reading “ETERNAL

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; UNSUNG HEROES
I would rather be among those who are unknown, unsung and unheralded doing something through the Spirit of God that will count even a tiny little bit in the kingdom of God than to be involved in some highly-recognized expression of religious activity across which God will ultimately write the judgment: “This too shall pass!” … Continue reading “ETERNAL

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; VALUES
We who follow Christ are men and women of eternity. We must put no confidence in the passing scenes of the disappearing world. We must resist every attempt of Satan to palm off upon us the values that belong to mortality. Nothing less than forever is long enough for us. We view with amused sadness … Continue reading “ETERNAL

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; EARTHLY THINGS
Brother, I remind you of that day when one of those wonderful and handsome and modern vehicles will pull up to your front door. Two gray-faced men will get out with a basket and they will lug you out—away from your radio and television and electric stoves and refrigerators and sweepers and massagers—they will lug … Continue reading “ETERNAL

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; EARTHLY THINGS; FAITH: DAILY WALK
It takes real faith to begin to live the life of heaven while still upon the earth, for this requires that we rise above the law of moral gravitation and bring to our everyday living the high wisdom of God. And since this wisdom is contrary to that of the world, conflict is bound to … Continue reading “ETERNAL

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; MATERIALISM; EARTHLY THINGS
God has revealed Himself many times and in many ways to assure men and women made in His image that there is another and a better world than this vale of tears we refer to as home.… When people around us learn that we are involved in a spiritual kingdom not yet visible, they think … Continue reading “ETERNAL

EROS; SEX
The period in which we now live may well go down in history as the Erotic Age. Sex love has been elevated into a cult. Eros has more worshipers among civilized men today than any other god. For millions the erotic has completely displaced the spiritual.… Now if this god would let us Christians alone … Continue reading “EROS;

ERROR; FALSE TEACHING
Contrary to popular opinion, the cultivation of a psychology of uncritical belief is not an unqualified good, and if carried too far it may be a positive evil. The whole world has been booby-trapped by the devil, and the deadliest trap of all is the religious one. Error never looks so innocent as when it … Continue reading “ERROR;
