CHRIST the SPOILER of principalities and powers (Col. 2:15). To the eye of reason, the cross is the center of sorrow and the lowest depth of shame. In the midst of mockery, jest, scorn, and blasphemy, He dies. Earth rejects Him, and heaven affords Him no light, but darkens the midday sun in the hour […]
“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’” (Lk 18:13). What a prayer to offer!

“As having nothing, and yet possessing all things” (2 Cor 6:10). Sometimes we excuse our evangelistic inactivity because of a shortage of funds.
