April 14, 2025 — If It’s Right, Do It!
Shechaniah (“dwelling with Jah”), like a shooting star, appears just long enough to light up the darkness. While Ezra was crying out to the Lord, “a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel,” also weeping bitterly (Ezra 10:1).

CHRIST the REST-BRINGER: “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Mt 11:29).

In Bill Maher’s movie, Religulous, he baits a U.S. senator for believing in “a talking snake in the garden.” But “why should it be thought a thing incredible” for atheists to believe in a snake with the ability to talk? Don’t they believe that a whole species of “animals” arose after millions of years of […]

The INESCAPABLE CHRIST. No one can do as Pilate’s wife suggested, “Have nothing to do with that just Man” (Mt 27:19). Yet it is possible to follow Christ as the Pharisees did—to argue with Him, criticise Him, find fault with Him. Donald Grey Barnhouse wrote: “The magazines of the world carry a constant stream of […]
