The FaithFul of God
Imagine for a moment that you are living in the age of the Roman emperors. You have been captured by Roman soldiers and dragged from your native country; you have been sold as a slave, stripped, whipped, branded, imprisoned, and treated with shameful cruelty. At last you are appointed to die in the amphitheater, to […]
The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon, “A Promise for Us and for Our Children” O beloved, did you ever did try to grasp the thought that God loves you? Whenever I try at it, it brings the tears into my eyes and I can go no farther. That the eternal God should pity me I […]
The following is by Augustus Toplady– If anything can awake astonishment, and inflame our gratitude, it must be that mystery of love- God manifested in our nature, and made man, to bleed and die for our salvation. That He should condescend to be sold for thirty shekels of silver, to be apprehended and condemned as […]
The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Unbelievers stumbling; Believers rejoicing” There are some who stumble at Christ because of his holiness. He is too strict for them; they would like to be Christians, but they cannot renounce their sensual pleasures; they would like to be washed in his blood, but they desire still to roll […]
The following is by Don Fortner, “Them he also did predestinate.” — Romans 8:29 Do not be afraid of predestination. And do not be ashamed of it. We are predestinarians, because we believe the Bible; and predestination is a Bible doctrine, full of comfort and joy for God’s saints. Predestination is God’s infallible purpose of […]
Here is the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Lazarus died, and was carried up to heaven. Chosen, redeemed and born of God, he entered into glory. But “the rich man also died!” What became of him? “In hell he lift up his eyes, being in torment!” Our Lord allows us to look beyond […]
We seldom learn much except as it is beaten into us by the rod, in Christ’s school-house, under Madam Trouble. You, believer, have very special comfort in all your trouble. You have this sweet reflection- that there is no curse in your cross. The cross may be very heavy, especially while it is green, and […]
It is attained by much heart-searching and humbling before God; by self-surrender, a courageous sacrifice of every idol, a bold uncompromising, and uncomplaining embracing of the cross, and by an eternal, unfaltering looking unto Jesus crucified. This is a great price, but it must be unflinchingly paid by him who would be a real spiritual […]
. . . when we do not love Him as we once did. . . . when earthly interests and occupations are more important to us than eternal ones. . . . when we would rather watch TV and read secular books and magazines than read the Bible and […]
“Reader, remember this: if your biblical knowledge does not now affect your heart, it will at last, with a witness, afflict your heart. If it does not now endear Christ to you, it will at last provoke Christ the more against you. If it does not make all the things of Christ to be very […]
Truth once reigned supreme upon our globe, and then earth was Paradise. Man knew no sorrow while he was ignorant of falsehood. The Father of Lies invaded the garden of bliss, and with one foul lie he blighted Eden into a wilderness, and made man a traitor to his God. Cunningly he handled the glittering […]
I have listed several verses for those who like to use The Bible As Your Guide For Life. Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Proverbs 6:22, 23 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou […]
In this Day and Age we live in it is a very confusing and troubling time. We are constantly bombared with Bad News on the TV, Radio and Internet. It seem like you can not get away from. I have provied some Scriptures from the King James Bible that help me when I get depressed […]
