“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations” (Ps 119:89-90). There it is, lying on the table. At first, it may seem like an ordinary volume. But when you peek inside, you are looking right into the heart and mind of God! There’s nothing else like it. So what […]
CHRIST the ONE who can MAKE OLD THINGS NEW: “Behold, I make all things new” (Rev 21:5). If only we could go back in time, we might make old things new. But Christ instead takes us up into the realm of the eternal. He gives us a new birth (Jn 3:3) which is life from […]
“Lord, give us this bread always” (Jn 6:34). Early Christians were accused of cannibalism. The Lord said, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him” (v 56). Immediately He was misunderstood, and continues to be! It reminds me of the Yanomami, an indigenous tribe living in the […]
Ray Comfort tells about a poster promoting atheism. It features pictures of Darwin, Jefferson and Lincoln, Ben Franklin, Einstein, Carl Sagan and Ernest Hemingway. “Atheism:” it says, “good enough for these idiots.” But is that true? Franklin wrote: “It is that particular wise and good God…that I propose for the object of my praise and […]
“When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord’s choicest wines.” —Samuel Rutherford In hard times I may think, “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen,” but here’s the fact: “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man” (1 Cor 10:13, BSB). You’ve never been tackled by a problem that someone […]
CHRIST the ETERNAL LIFE: “The Life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that Eternal Life which was with the Father and was manifested to us” (1 Jn 1:2). We have no life independent of Christ—He is our life (Col 3:4)! He is the WORD of Life (Jn 1:1) […]
“Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts” (Ps 119:134). Have you ever thought of this? What does it mean to be redeemed from the oppression of man? It’s not easy obeying the Lord’s directives. And one reason, says David, is that every day we seem to “run the gauntlet.” […]
Hypocrisy is the great impediment in evangelism. Our Lord prayed that His people might be marked by reality. “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth” (Jn 17:17). A.W. Tozer writes: Truth, to be understood, must be lived. Bible doctrine is wholly ineffective until it has been digested and assimilated by the total life. […]
The old preachers would say, “God is not impoverished by giving nor enriched by withholding.” So ask! Breathe in. Breathe out. Here’s the secret of healthy living. But for us it’s breathing out to God in prayer and breathing in heaven’s truth in His Word. While Psalm 119 is known for the theme of the […]
