The compelling message of John 3:17 is more than a statement of God’s intention towards the human race, for in actuality it constitutes a “proclamation extraordinary!”… Why is there a blank kind of indifference and why is there an incredible apathy to such an extraordinary proclamation of God’s best intentions for us?… Upon our eyes … Continue reading “APATHY;

APATHY; HOLY SPIRIT: FILLING; HOLINESS: CONDITIONS FOR
It is disheartening to those who care, and surely a great grief to the Spirit, to see how many Christians are content to settle for less than the best. Personally I have for years carried a burden of sorrow as I have moved among evangelical Christians who somewhere in their past have managed to strike … Continue reading “APATHY;

ANGELS: IGNORANCE ABOUT
Our Protestant churches have never been very enthusiastic about the Bible references to the many kinds of angels and angelic beings which make up the Lord’s heavenly host. Because we do not see them, we generally do not discuss them. There seem to be many Christians who are not sure what they should believe about … Continue reading “ANGELS:
IGNORANCE ABOUT”
ANGER; TEMPER: LOSS OF CREDIBILITY
Some people have a temper. We blame it on our Irish grandfather or on something else; but it’s a plague spot. I remember a man who had a very high spiritual testimony and became a leading pastor in his denomination. One night at a board meeting, he lost his temper like a mule driver and … Continue reading “ANGER;

ANTHROPOLOGY; HISTORY: FUTURE MORE IMPORTANT
It is ironic that men will spend vast amounts both of time and of money in an effort to uncover the secrets of their past when their own future is all that should really matter to them. No man is responsible for his ancestors; and the only past he must account for is the relatively … Continue reading “ANTHROPOLOGY;

AMERICA: PROBLEMS; MODERN DAY; PROGRESS
I challenge the idea that we are advanced. I know the majority of modern educators, newspaper writers, TV personalities, radio reporters, politicians and all the rest do not agree with me. Nevertheless, I challenge the idea that we are any further advanced than they were in the days of Jesus. If we are so advanced, … Continue reading “AMERICA:

AMERICA: SINFULNESS
I am among those who believe that our Western civilization is on its way to perishing. It has many commendable qualities, most of which it has borrowed from the Christian ethic, but it lacks the element of moral wisdom that would give it permanence. Future historians will record that we of the twentieth century had … Continue reading “AMERICA:
SINFULNESS”
ANGELS: DENIAL OF
Anyone who wants to can put a film of unbelief over his or her eyes and thus deny the existence and activity of angels. But in doing so, he or she is denying clear biblical teaching. Some protest the discussion of angels, saying, “Let’s be practical!” By which they mean, “Let’s limit our considerations to … Continue reading “ANGELS:
DENIAL OF”
ACTIVITY: TEST OF GODLINESS; BUSYNESS
Working for Christ has today been accepted as the ultimate test of godliness among all but a few evangelical Christians. Christ has become a project to be promoted or a cause to be served instead of a Lord to be obeyed. Thousands of mistaken persons seek to do for Christ whatever their fancy suggests should … Continue reading “ACTIVITY:
TEST OF GODLINESS; BUSYNESS”
ADORATION; WORSHIP: ADORATION
The admonition to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,… and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37) can mean only one thing. It means to adore Him. I use the word “adore” sparingly, for it is a precious word. I love babies and I love people, but I cannot say I adore them. … Continue reading “ADORATION;
