Nothing is too hard for you.”                                                                                     Jeremiah 32:17, ESV   “One should go to sleep as homesick passengers do, saying, “Perhaps in the morning we shall see the shore.”         –Henry Ward Beecher [...]

Five Things to Do Before Saturday’s Rapture (Maybe) Whether or not Mr. Camping has done the math correctly could be possible.  Many things could possibly align and I certainly don’t have enough to figure this out.  So much publicity has been given to Saturday’s projected flight out.  And it definitely intrigues me that, the skeptics and [...]

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”   Matt. 5:4, ESV   Scripture never flatters the human heart.  It acts on us directly, “dividing the spirit from the soul.”  I find no glowing review of our common humanity, nothing leads me to draw any other conclusion.  At our deepest essence, we are depraved, [...]

  Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to [...]

The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens. Mark 4:28, NLT   This concept of physical growth is now applied by Jesus to us.  He has cultivated us, and we must insist on a maturation.  We sprout, [...]

Someday, We Will Wear White

by Robert Murray McCheyne As long as you live in your mortal body, you will be faulty in yourself. It is a soul-ruining error to believe anything else. Oh, if ye would be wise, be often looking beneath the robe of the Redeemer’s righteousness to see your own deformity. It will make you keep faster [...]

A Psalm Study, 108:1-6 A Song. A Psalm of David.  1 My heart is confident in you, O God;       no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!  2 Wake up, lyre and harp!       I will wake the dawn with my song.  3 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.       I [...]

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,    I will fear no evil, for you are with me;    your rod and your staff,    they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4, ESV   My generation simply doesn’t know how to die well.  There are so many conflicting messages and attitudes which have steered us away from [...]
