We won’t be overwhelmed by the Dragon’s bullying if we overcome by the Lamb’s blood (Rev 12:11). Sun Tzu’s famous military manual, The Art of War, makes the statement, “Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated.” The more I study this section of Scripture, the more I’m convinced […]

CHRIST the WAITING ONE: “The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till…” (Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44). As a fitting conclusion to our 366-day study of Christ, we conclude with a poem by George Weissel, written in 1642. Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold, the King of glory waits; The […]
“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22:20). Here is the last prayer in the Bible. Paul wrote, “The time is short” (1 Cor 7:29). Knowing the times we live in, and the certainty of His return, how should we respond? On May […]
“We desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Heb 6:11-12). “A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a […]
God says, “Behold, I am against you…O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers” (Ezek 29:3). Le-vi’-a-than is a transliterated Hebrew word (liwyathan) from lawah, meaning “twisted” or “coiled.” Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible six times, and there’s more at stake than simply a large sea creature during earth’s earliest ages. In Job 3:8, […]
CHRIST the CAPTIVATOR: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive” (Eph 4:8). “…bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). We who were Satan’s captives have been set free, only to be captivated now by the love of Christ! The Psalmist describes in Psalm 119 how captivated he […]
“Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples” (1 Chron 16:23-24). Looking for a great resolution for the coming year? You couldn’t do better than this! To sing the Lord’s praises more, to share […]
Arnot McIntee tells the story of a preacher at Orator’s Corner in Hyde Park, London, England. A heckler interrupted: “Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been hearing this chap talk about God, heaven, sin, the devil and hell. I hope you won’t believe a word of it. I don’t. I refuse to believe anything I can’t see.” […]
Imagine fishing for a sea monster with a hook and line. But in this sea story, it’s Job who gets hooked! The Lord hasn’t finished the interrogation. Job had said, “Oh, that I knew where I might find Him…I would present my case before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments” (Job 23:3- 4). He asked for […]
