The FaithFul of God
Pride and vanity cannot thrive at the foot of the cross. It is only when we remove from this holy ground, that they shoot out their pestiferous branches in awful luxuriance. True humility loves the sacred mount of Calvary, on which the lowly Savior bowed his head and died! There, repentance sheds the contrite tear. […]
There is something peculiarly calming to the soul in these beautiful words; “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” This is a world of sin and trouble. Here, thorns and thistles grow around us; painful emblems of the human heart, and of the sad […]
Christian joy is not a tumultuous passion, or feverish affection; but a calm and composed frame; a holy serenity of soul; a gladsome rest in the faithfulness and grace of Jesus. It sheds a luster over the countenance; beams forth at the eye, and often causes it to be suffused in tears. It creates an […]
Love is the distinguishing mark of God’s people. It is the vital force that drives all that we do, springing forth from a heart that has been transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our knowledge of God must go beyond mere intellectual comprehension, for it is only through a love for Him that […]
Paul, when writing to the Corinthians, declared, “Some of you have not the knowledge of God; I speak this to your shame.” And may not the same reproof be directed to multitudes of professing Christians of our day? The ignorance of many is lamentably great. Light is in the dwellings of the righteous, and the […]
The heart of man is like a weight, whose natural bias is downward. Nothing but a power outside of itself can cause it to ascend heavenward. The attraction of gravitation is not more powerful in its effects on the various parts of the universe, than is the debasing force of natural corruption in the heart […]
How rich, how varied are the blessings of redemption! Like the gracious Giver, they are infinite and eternal, reaching from everlasting to everlasting. Fully to know the gifts of grace, we must know the fullness of him from whom they flow. Surely gratitude ought to swell our hearts, when we contemplate the author of our […]
Much valuable instruction and consolation may be derived from the consideration of the vision with which Moses was favored in the desert of Midian. “The angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. And he looked and behold the bush burned with fire, and […]
In our political system here in America there are really only two basic political parties (1) Globalists; (2) Nationalists. The Nationalists are America First people, who love our constitution, closed borders, building the American military, preventing wars, econcomic conservativism, etc. The Globalists are divided into progressive liberals and the deep state. The deep state is […]
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Until the King of King’s returns to establish His eternal kingdom, men will work to establish theirs. It should not surprise us when […]
The Berean Jews were a group of Jews living in the city of Berea, which is located in the northern region of Greece. According to the account in Acts 17:10-15, 10 And the brethren immediately sent away* Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 […]
With what beautiful simplicity is the interview between Jesus arid the sisters of Lazarus related by Luke, in the 10th chapter of his Gospel. How gentle and yet how forcible is the reproof which our Lord gave to Martha. How gracious the testimony which he bore to the piety of Mary. Mary sat at Jesus’ […]
Nature of affliction from our Heavenly Father As we reflect upon the nature of affliction, we must consider that it is a bitter pill to swallow, causing much distress and discomfort. However, we must not forget that the Lord afflicts his people out of love, as we see in the Scriptures, “As many as I […]
There is a beautiful harmony in the doctrines and precepts of Scripture, whether promulgated under the Patriarchal, Mosaic, or Christian dispensation, which strikingly proves its divine origin. Every enlightened reader of the Bible will perceive a rich vein of truth running through the whole of the sacred volume. What is obscurely revealed under the patriarchal […]
Scarlet Sinners Made White as Snow “Come now, and let us reason, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 KJV What a glorious promise this text holds. The book of Isaiah begins with […]
