A healthy Christian is one of the liveliest creatures on earth. When he is at work you may hear him sing. He cannot help it; do not blame him for a little noise. Let him sing, and laugh till he cries. Sometimes he cannot help it; he will burst if his soul may not have vent. When he begins to talk about his Lord his eyes flash fire. Some people hint that he is out of his mind; but those who know best assure us that he was never before so sane as now. Of course,…

"Remember the poor."

Galatians 2:10

Why does God allow so many of his children to be poor? He could make them all rich if he pleased; he could lay bags of gold at their doors; he could send them a large annual…

"We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."

Acts 14:22

God's people have their trials. It was never designed by God, when he chose his people, that they should be an untried people. They…

The other day I was reading where someone had broken down each verse of Psalm 23 into different categories. I then had the desire to break it down into the different attributes & Names of God. Now, I'm not a theologian, Bible student or anything. I'm a simple woman with a Hebrew Concordance & a Bible. So, I may have a few names & attributes in with the wrong verses. Feel free to correct anything. I know I just had a great time doing this.…

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

I've always believed these to be the 12 tribes & the 12 disciples. If this is the 12 disciples, who would be the 12th disciple? So, I began reading commentaries & read various interpretations. Man, did I open up a can of worms. Here are several of them.

1) 12 Tribes & 12 Disciples In this case, who would…

"The iniquity of the holy things."

Exodus 28:38

What a veil is lifted up by these words, and what a disclosure is made! It will be humbling and profitable for us to pause awhile and see this sad sight. The iniquities of our public worship, its hypocrisy,…

The abortion industry had a banner year at your expense.

Planned Parenthood aborted - murdered - 327,653 babies last year - an average of one abortion every 90 seconds.

At the same time, the abortion giant received more than $528 million of your tax dollars.

Planned Parenthood is profiting from death, bragging about ObamaCare, and touting how many pro-life laws it has defeated.

Not only did its abortions increase last year, so did its bottom line. It has more than…

"Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her."

Ruth 1:14

"Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you."

Isaiah 30:18

God often delays in answering prayer. We have several instances of this in sacred Scripture. Jacob did not get the blessing from the angel until near the dawn of day--he had to…

Twas the Night before Jesus came

Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house

Not a creature was praying, not one in the house

Their bibles were lain on the shelf without care,

In hopes that Jesus would not come there.

"Avoid foolish questions."

Titus 3:9

Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor importance. The old schoolmen did a world of mischief by their incessant discussion of subjects of no…

"The trial of your faith."

1 Peter 1:7

Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials. Faith never prospers so well as when all things are against her: tempests are her…

"Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation."

Luke 22:46

When is the Christian most liable to sleep? Is it not when his temporal circumstances are prosperous? Have you not found it so? When you…

"Will ye also go away?"

John 6:67

Many have forsaken Christ, and have walked no more with him; but what reason have you to make a change? Has there been any reason for it in the past? Has not Jesus proved himself all-sufficient? He appeals to you this…

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name.” (Matthew 6:9)

In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches that the first priority in praying is to ask that our heavenly Father’s Name be hallowed.

Notice that this is a petition or a…

"Grow up into Him in all things."

Ephesians 4:15

Many Christians remain stunted and dwarfed in spiritual things, so as to present the same appearance year after year. No up-springing of advanced and refined…

"Babes in Christ."

1 Corinthians 3:1

Are you mourning, believer, because you are so weak in the divine life: because your faith is so little, your love so feeble? Cheer up, for you have cause for gratitude. Remember that in some things you are equal to the…

God’s Wise Mercy

We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to the Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians …
