“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise” (Prov 12:15). Elihu is eager to prepare Job for an encounter with God. In fact, he says he’s “full of words,” ready to explode if he doesn’t speak (see Job 32:18-20). In order to be a real help, certain factors […]

CHRIST the CLEANER: “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean” (Mt 8:2). How this world needs a good cleaning, the kind that only Jesus can give! Percy Ainsworth (1873-1909) was a devoted minister of the gospel in Manchester, England. Though he died of typhoid fever at just 36 years of age, he […]
“Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, ‘O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God…’” (Jdg 16:28). Strange, isn’t it. When we ask of others, we might say something like, “Just this once! I’ll never ask for anything ever again!” But with the Lord? When we need […]
“If our gospel is hid, it is hid to those who are lost” (2 Cor 4:3). Procrastination is very often a main reason why we don’t evangelize as we should. Urgent things push out important things. If we delay for months or years, then tell someone that they are in danger of hell fire, they […]

The PROMISED MESSIAH (the CHRIST): “We have found the Messiah” (Jn 1:41). The promised Messiah is the creator of all (Ps 102:25-27; Jn 1:3; Heb 1:10-12). He is declared to be the Son of God (Ps 2:7; Lk 1:31-35; Mt 3:16-17; Heb 1:5-6), and was to call God His Father (Ps 89:26; Mt 11:27). Indeed, […]
“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (Jn 17:17). Noah Webster (1758-1843) was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to a weaver and his wife. Educated at Yale, in 1783 he wrote A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, earning its nickname, the “Blue-Backed Speller,” because of its blue cover. For over 100 years, Webster’s […]
Tommy Rowden had just been gloriously saved and couldn’t wait to tell his friends during coffee break at the plant where he worked. But the in-house infidel was quick to retort, “You can’t believe the Bible! It’s full of mistakes.” “For instance?” “Like, where did Cain get his wife?” Tommy hadn’t heard that one, but […]
