Sermons and Biblical Studies

Let this truth penetrate. There is a glorified Human Being at the right hand of God—not a spirit but a Man glorified. He is there interceding for us, representing us. This is why I believe in the security of the saints. How can I help but believe that? If Jesus Christ is at the right … Continue reading “ETERNAL
SECURITY; CALVINISM; JESUS CHRIST: HIS INTERCESSION”

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
PERSPECTIVE; VALUES”

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
PERSPECTIVE; UNSUNG HEROES”

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
PERSPECTIVE; SCIENCE; LIFE PURPOSE”

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
PERSPECTIVE; PRIORITIES; VALUES”

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
PERSPECTIVE; MATERIALISM; EARTHLY THINGS”

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
PERSPECTIVE; EARTHLY THINGS; FAITH: DAILY WALK”

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
PERSPECTIVE; EARTHLY THINGS”

Every man holds his future in his hand. Not the dominant world leader only, but the inarticulate man lost in anonymity is a “man of destiny.” He decides which way his soul shall go. He chooses, and destiny waits on the nod of his head. He decides, and hell enlarges herself, or heaven prepares another … Continue reading “ETERNAL
DESTINY; SALVATION: INVITATION TO; CHOICES”

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;
