Magnificently Humanistic yet Woefully Christian?
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised the third day in accordance with the Scriptures... ---1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Typhoons On the 26th of September, just a full day after Typhoon Ondoy (International name Ketsana) made land fall on the Philippines, Metro Manila and neighboring cities were instantly ravaged by ridiculously ...

Count Your Life of No Value for the Sake of Christ!
Awakening a Sense of Christ’s Value My desire and prayer for you is that your life and ministry have a radical flavor. I say that for the glory of Christ. The world does not glorify Jesus as their supreme Treasure because of our health, wealth, and prosperity. Those are the same treasures they live for. The fact that we use Jesus to get what they want makes it clear to them that we have the same ...

How Comfortable is Your Christianity?
Is the Christianity of our day of the lofty kind of which apostolic men have left us so bright an example? Is it not feeble, indolent, self-indulgent, second-rate? Is there in it anything of the presentation of ‘living sacrifices’ to God, which is our acceptable and reasonable service? Are we not seeking our own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s? Are we not feasting when the world is starving? Are we not at ease ...

I Beseech You Brethren, Do More than Others!
More is to be expected of Christians than others because they have more. “But they are poor,” says one. True, but the poorest Christian possesses more than the richest unbeliever. You shall set before me, now, the pauper who is a Believer and the emperor who has no faith in Christ. I am persuaded that the poor, aged pauper would not exchange her lot though the imperial purple should be offered her. She would refuse to leave ...

Though a Man is Sincere Should We Ignore His Sins?
...If zeal is true, it will be joined to a deep humility. A truly zealous man will be the last to discover the greatness of his own attainments. All that he is and does will fall immensely short of his own desires, that he will be filled with a sense of his own weakness and be ...

True Zeal Even Against Evil and Error Loves!
...If zeal is true, it will be a zeal tempered with love. It will not be a bitter zeal. It will not be a fierce hatred of people. It will not be a zeal that is ready to take up the sword and to lash out with the weapons of the world. The weapons of true ...

Do You Have an All-Surpassing Desire for God?!
What is Love? I don't believe love is just doing the right thing. I don't believe love is just keeping commandments. I don't believe love is just being patient and kind... That's what love looks like when it walks and talks. But that's not love! Love is passion! Let me ask you a question, do you have a passion for God?! Do you desire him? Do you long for Him? Yes we all go through times in which our hearts are dull. ...

Is Your Zeal About Things According to God’s Mind?
If zeal is true it will be a zeal about things according to God’s mind, and sanctioned by clear examples in God’s Word. Take, for example, that highest and best kind of zeal-I mean zeal for our own growth in personal holiness. Such zeal will make a man continually feel that sin is the mightiest of all evils, and conformity to Christ the greatest of all blessings. It will make him feel that ...

Is Your Zeal Man Centered or God Centered?
When is a man truly zealous in Christianity? If zeal is true, it will be a zeal according to knowledge. It must not be a blind, ignorant zeal. It must be a calm, reasonable, intelligent principle, which can show the warrant of Scripture for every step it takes. The unconverted Jews had zeal. Paul says, ...
