November 7, 2025 — Who’s In Charge Around Here?
“Let me ne’er forget…though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.” —M.D. Babcock It’s time for Elihu to quote Job: “For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, but God has taken away my justice; should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression’” (Job 34:5-6). The young […]

CHRIST OUR KEEPER (Ps 121:5). Paul’s first taste of persecution came quickly after his conversion: “In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me” (2 Cor 11:32). The words “kept” and “garrison” are the same word—phroureo, to guard militarily. It made a big […]

CHRIST CONSIDERED FOOLISHNESS: “We preach Christ crucified,…to the Greeks foolishness” (1 Cor 1:23). “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing…” (v 18). H.A. Ironside writes: “I was on a ferry going from Oakland to San Francisco with a group of Christians. Among us was a dear friend who played […]

“I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead” (Rev 3:1). What’s in a name? Obviously a great deal! When we take the name believer, it ought to mean we agree with God, and that we act on it. When we claim to be saints, our lives […]

Shintoism: The indigenous belief of Japan, from shen-tao, meaning “the way of the gods.” A very ancient concept based on the superiority of the Japanese people to all others. Japan is “the country of the gods and its inhabitants are descendants of the gods.” At the heart of their beliefs is kami, a mysterious creating […]
