It’s a very bad idea to be an enemy of God and His people. The best thing to do is join the winning side. I know you know what it’s like to be an enemy of God (see Rom 5:10). Everyone is born on the losing side. One of the three reasons the Lord sent […]
CHRIST the FULLNESS (Col 2:9). In his book, In the Arena of Faith, Erich Sauer writes, “About thirty years ago I took part in a Christian conference in England and have never forgotten a Bible exegesis which one of the speakers gave. He spoke of the words “according to the riches of His glory…” (Eph […]
“O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed…” (Ps 25:2). It has been noted that human beings, of all God’s creatures on Earth, are the only ones that can blush. And, as humorist Mark Twain added, we’re the only ones who need to! Shame should be the response when the conscience […]
“Men…suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made…so that they are without excuse” (Rom 1:18-20).

If you lined up all the blood vessels in the body, they would stretch over 62,000 miles (almost 100,000 kms), more than twice the distance around Earth. Your lungs have the same surface area as a tennis court. Experts say there are […]
Is anyone pleading with God for a mighty harvest in our day? Will two agree in asking (Mt 18:19)? In Mighty Moments, Lionel Fletcher tells when, at the close of a meeting among Cornish coal miners, he was about to ask a friend to pray, but felt pressed to ask a man to his left […]
CHRIST the MOUNTAIN CLIMBER: “For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire…But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem…to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator […]
