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. The age of grace may have chilled our fervor somewhat for sharing in this. We delight in the victory of Calvary’s […]
CHRIST is BETTER: In Hebrews, Christ is portrayed as better. For example, “having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” (Heb 1:4). Of course, Christ is God of His angelic creatures. But Adam Clarke writes: “as God manifested in the flesh, He has […]
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 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 […]
CHRIST OUR ROOMMATE: “If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in…” (Rev 3:20). Martha Snell Nicholson, author of many inspiring poems, was bedridden for 29 years. Yet a reader today would never detect that she suffered excruciating pain due to tuberculosis, arthritis, angina, Parkinson’s, and finally cancer. For, as she […]
“And David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, ‘I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly’” (2 Sam 24:10). Exodus 30:11-16 could not have been plainer: […]
“You know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. And you became followers of us and of the Lord” (1 Thess 1:5-6). A recent believer wrote the following to a friend who had encouraged her to find new life in Christ: “I saw that you lived by convictions and priorities and […]
