December 13 Petition Mission
“This is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Cor 11:24). In all of Scripture a more poignant petition cannot be found. It is not a request from God’s people to the Lord, but of the Lord to His people. After the unnumbered requests answered by Him, would […]

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I came not to send peace, but a sword” (Mt 10:34)? Writes A.W. Tozer: A new Decalogue has been adopted by the neo-Christians of our day, the first word of which reads: “Thou shalt not disagree;” and a new set of Beatitudes too, which begins, “Blessed are they […]

December 12, 2024 — The “Good Things” In Jehoshaphat
We need courage to do what’s right—to judge rightly, to face critics, and to leave results with God. Jehoshaphat’s dangerous misstep in the battle at Ramoth Gilead received a rebuke when he returned to Jerusalem. Intercepted before he could reach the palace, “Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him” (2 Chron 19:2). […]

Read A Good Book Lately?
I recall seeing a Charles Shultz cartoon with two students talking. One says to the other, “I think I’ve discovered the secret to understanding the Bible. I’ve started reading it.” America is flooded with Bibles. Almost nine out of ten households own a Bible, according to the American Bible Society. But reading it? Not so […]

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it” (1 Thess 5:23-24). In this magnificent request, the apostle Paul declares the INTENT of God’s […]
