“And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood …

You are Useful
Do you ever feel like a useless person, that you have never made any difference in anyone’s life, even your own? We all like to feel useful. We enjoy it when we hear someone tell us “Well done” on a job we have done, a race we have run, or even as a preacher, a …
The Grace of God… Has Appeared to All Men
With this season of the year, these words are especially powerful for the Christian. Let us always remember that the grace of God was not just shown through the birth of His Son, lain in a manger, but also as He lay Himself on the cross to die for our sins. For the child of …
A Sure Foundation
Building on anything other than God’s foundation will lead to disaster; the fall of the building, and the fall of a life as well (Matthew 7:21-27). The Church as an institution, neither the individual Christian life can survive without being founded and set sure upon the foundation of God. Hear the apostle Paul… “Study to …

To Walk and to Please God
Those of us who follow Christ Jesus have been set apart unto Him that He might be glorified. Being set apart is what is meant by the word “Sanctified” or “Sanctification”. At salvation we are sanctified; but throughout our lives, we are being sanctified unto Him, until we are finally, and completely sanctified eternally. Hear …
To Reconcile Man to God
O how the race of Adam needs to be reconciled to God. My how lost can a race of people get, and by lost I mean astray from God, His word, His Son, and His Spirit. He did say, “My Spirit shall not always strive with man” (Genesis 6:3). God is the one who stepped …
The Work of God In Us Worked Out
O how we need to get this straight. Salvation by grace continues to work in us following our regeneration or justification in Christ and God. How the churches today need regenerated people sitting in the pews, in our places of employment, our recreation, working out their salvation with fear and trembling. “Wherefore, my beloved, as …
God’s Debt to Adam’s Race…
The title is catchy, but I fear that is how many people feel; that God owes every person a chance for grace and salvation. Folks, this whole deal of grace is about Him; not us. It is indeed about... …God; not you or me. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love …
Come Out, Be Separate
Yokes are a farming tool from years past where the farmer or wagoneer even would place two animals; for a yoke, it would most generally have been oxen. The cart, wagon, or plow was usually teamed with an equally powered pair of the animals. Consider this as we look at the following passage of Scripture. …
Heirs of the Kingdom of God
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are …
Set Free
“What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the …
The Word Which We Hear
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. He that …
To Know the Father and the Son
“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit, and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight. All things are delivered to Me of My …
