“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety” (Ps 4:8). The human ear controls not only hearing but balance, and those who have suffered from vertigo know it only too well. But did you know that the eyes control more than sight? After passing […]
I came across a website where a questioner asks: “Can anyone share some [illustrations] that they feel are sound theologically but are very gospel-centered?” One responder wrote: “The one that comes to mind is a grave representing spiritual deadness, and that person cannot give birth to themselves.…The person should then ask, ‘Then it’s impossible, isn’t […]

CHRIST THE ONE WE PREACH: “We preach Christ…” (1 Cor 1:23) T.D.W. Muir was born in Ormstown, Quebec in 1855. As a result of a near drowning, his father was converted.
