I say that we have not been given up. That is plain from the Book of Genesis. Recall that the sound of God’s gentle voice was heard saying, “Adam, where art thou?”—and that voice has never died out! The echo of that voice sounding down through the years has never ceased to reverberate, to echo … Continue reading “CALL
OF GOD; GOD: HIS VOICE”

The gospel invitation is offered to one and all, but many are too preoccupied to hear or heed. They never allow God’s call to become a reason for decision. Their relationship with God never becomes a personal encounter. As a result, they live out their entire lives insisting that they never heard any call from … Continue reading “CALL
OF GOD; SALVATION: INVITATION TO”

Just as He had done with Adam, God put Jesus on the cross in a deep sleep and opened His side. Out from His side flowed not a rib but water and blood. From that water and blood God is washing, cleansing and preparing a bride worthy of Jesus. God did not create Eve from … Continue reading “BRIDE
OF CHRIST; BLOOD OF CHRIST”

Unnecessary burdens are crushing the life out of people every day. Mental institutions are overflowing and psychiatrists are doing a rushing business because the burden of living is getting to be more than we can bear. Civilization has not made our lot easier except in things pertaining to the body; the burdens of the heart … Continue reading “BURDENS;
TRIALS: ATTITUDE TOWARD”

To be called to follow Christ is a high honor; higher indeed than any honor men can bestow upon each other. Were all the nations of the earth to unite in one great federation and call a man to head that federation, that man would be honored above any other man that ever lived. Yet … Continue reading “CALL
OF CHRIST; HONORS”

Today more than ever we Christians need to learn how to sanctify the ordinary. This is a blase generation. People have been overstimulated to the place where their nerves are jaded and their tastes corrupted. Natural things have been rejected to make room for things artificial. The sacred has been secularized, the holy vulgarized and … Continue reading “BOREDOM:
FROM OVERSTIMULATION”

In other words, we are bored with God Almighty. We chuckle at Pogo and laugh at Dear Abby, but we are bored with God. Isaiah 43:15, 22 Rut, Rot or Revival: The Condition of the Church, 146.

It does not speak too well for our Christian testimony when God tells us that He has sent His Son to be His final revelation in this world—and we act bored about it!… That must be the key to our boredom with Christianity: We have not been keeping in very close touch with our Man … Continue reading “BOREDOM:
RELIGIOUS; CHURCH: BOREDOM”

I for one admit that I am weary of the familiar religious pep talk. I am tired of being whipped into line, of being urged to work harder, to pray more, to give more generously, when the speaker does not show me Christ. This is sure to lead to a point of diminishing return and … Continue reading “BOREDOM:
RELIGIOUS; PREACHING: EXPERIENCING GOD; JESUS CHRIST: HIS LOVELINESS”

Just what part evil literature has played in this present moral breakdown throughout our land will never be known till men are called forth to answer to a holy God for their unholy deeds. For thousands of young people, the first doubt about God and the Bible came with the reading of some evil book. … Continue reading “BOOKS:
