CHRIST THE ONE WE PREACH: “We preach Christ…” (1 Cor 1:23) T.D.W. Muir was born in Ormstown, Quebec in 1855. As a result of a near drowning, his father was converted. Shortly after, the family moved to Hamilton, Ontario, where Donald Munro and John Smith were preaching. After six weeks of meetings, however, no one […]
“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word” (Acts 4:29). Although it is recorded many times in Acts that the disciples prayed, this is the only prayer offered by the Twelve of which the words are recorded. In an attempt to intimidate the […]
A large share of skeptics are mere triflers. Their professed skepticism is only an excuse for sin. As a rule it is not wise to spend much time on an individual of this class, but give him something that will sting his conscience… A skeptic may say, “The whole Bible is foolishness to me.” You […]
Get ready for it! When Jesus returns to earth, He will be armed and dangerous (see Rev 19:11-16). Clearly the most majestic portions of Scripture are portraits of the Lord riding forth in judgment.

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength” (Isa 40:28-29). Feeling weak today? Too small for the […]
Have you heard that we share 50% of our DNA with bananas? It’s true! It is a frequent argument by evolutionists that, since the DNA of chimpanzees and humans are so similar, this proves they share a common ancestor. But a new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the […]
Our perfection awaits. At present our pathway is fraught with errors. But what a terrible mistake to make—exaggerating a believer’s passing! This video is my apology tour. (To view the video mentioned, visit uplook.org/2021/08/among-the-cannibals-for-christ) […]
Things may seem to be topsy-turvy now, but all will be right in the end. God will make sure of it. As we study Psalm 75, we realize we’ve arrived at the midpoint of the Psalter. It’s both a psalm and a song, one of thanksgiving to God. Although only 10 verses, it’s a cornucopia […]
