To Those Who Pray…
“…Men ought always to Pray.” —Jesus, Luke 18:1 “I will that men pray everywhere.” —Paul, 1 Timothy 2:8 I have a question to offer you. It is contained in three words, DO YOU PRAY? The question is one that none but you can answer. Whether you attend public worship or not, your minister knows. Whether you have family prayers or not your relations know. But whether you pray in private or not, is a matter between yourself and God. I beseech you ...

How Heartless and Dull I Am!
Oh Thou Giving God, My heart is drawn out in thankfulness to Thee, for Thy amazing grace and condescension to me in influences and assistances of Thy Spirit, for special help in prayer, for the sweetness of Christian service, for the thoughts of arriving in heaven, for always sending me needful supplies, for raising me to new life when I am like one dead. I want not the favour of man to lean upon for Thy favour is infinitely better. Thou art eternal wisdom in dispensations ...

The Supremacy of Jesus Christ the Lord and Saving Faith
"That's Not My God" "Well, I don't like that. I don't believe that God is like that. That's not My God!" We hear that objection so often, as if this declaration of Scripture of God's transcendent majesty and Kingship is not at all a Biblical teaching. How far is it from the truth. It's everywhere in Scripture! I remember a story from John Reisinger, when he was asked by an old lady about his son who died ...

The Figment of Human Imagination, An Invention of Maudlin Sentimentality
Your Thoughts of God are Too Human In Arthur W. Pink's book "The Attributes of God" he opens his chapter on God's Supremacy with one of Martin Luther's letters to Erasmus, he recounted: “Your thoughts of God are too human.” The distinguished and educated scholar might have resented such a denunciation, especially coming from a mere miner’s son; nevertheless, it was thouroughly deserved. Likewise, although we have no standing among our contemporary religious leaders in this degenerate ...

New Demonstration Version 6.0!
Since it was first launched back in October 2007, from our days in Blogger.com to a self-hosted Wordpress site, we have gone through six design changes, three in this year alone. It would not be far-fetched to say that the design process and progress in design reflects quite well God's working upon this humble servant. Life has been hard. If you don't think life is hard, live a while longer, it'll come to you soon enough. But ...

The God-Hood of God and the Gospel
The hardest part about being a Christian is that we profess to believe in a God that we can't see, a God that we can't feel, a God that we can't touch. Jacob's words are a typical of the plight contemporary culture feels. Ours is a day when people feel a distinct sense of the absence of God. We see no burning bushes, no pillars of fire, no real displays of angelic and heavenly manifestations, ...

The Greatest Dilemma: God is Just, and You are Not
"Nobody's perfect". Invariably everybody says that old adage, everybody knows it. In some sense "Nobody's perfect" has become the credo of most people. But isn't it interesting that nobody's worried about it? We take that statement for granted far too much that we totally miss the implications that lie therein. Dear beloved, the most frightening thing we can consider about ourselves as fleshly, human beings is that we are not perfect. ...

To Those Who Pray: A Humble Exhortation on Prayer
This post is for those of us who pray; to us, weak and failing believers in Christ Jesus our God, Savior and Lord, though sinful still who nevertheless pray. Here are words of exhortation on the essence of prayer. Words, in my opinion, that are so scarcely brought to bear to Christians in this day and age. If prayer is such an essential thing, such a precious thing, should we not speak more if it? Should ...

Courage, Dear Heart! The Lord Will Bear You Up!
God is too holy to not do the things that would bring Him the greatest glory. God loves you too much to not do the things that would bring you the greatest good. Even if what bids to His greatest glory and your greatest good is suffering unspeakable, tomorrow still promises the morning dew of the love and fullness of blessings in Christ Jesus our Lord. "For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be ...
