"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? …

"Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem …
Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee within Judaism. He hated Christ and Christianity; and did all that was in his power to exterminate what he considered to be a heretic bunch of deceived people. From the moment of Stephen's martyr's death by stoning (Acts 7:54-60), Saul was determined to exterminate this group of people. However, …
What does it mean to love Jesus; the Son of God? How does one show love for Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God? Do you desire fellowship with God? Jesus is asked by Judas, who is not Iscariot the betrayer, but a different Judas; "Lord, how is it that you will manifest Yourself …
Humanity; all of us, can be so excited about a person, event, or miraculous happening one moment, and the next turn our hearts and mind against it. I believe that is called "fickleness". There were some people in Jesus's day who wanted to make Him King when they heard Him teach and saw His miracles …
"Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I …

It is not a rare thing; but Doctors in successful practices do not often leave their work to enter something else; such as to be a writer. Some have and do. When one leaves their medical practice to be a minister of Jesus Christ and His gospel that is a calling on them. Luke was …
Today's Bible Reading - Mark 2 - 4 "And He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse Him. And He saith unto the man which had the withered hand, …
The topic of forgiveness is an easy subject to talk about, but sometimes hard to put into practice. Yet the Christian is not requested to forgive, but commanded to do so. We are told by Jesus that if we do not forgive, we will not be forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15). I must ask myself this question, …
It seems that there are many people who are for the keeping of the doors to worshipping God open. They are open as long as people come to God God's way; rather than our own way. That was the problem in Malachi's day; and this message is to his own people. They were offering polluted …
Are you running from God today? Do you really think that you can hide from Him, and get away from doing that task, that calling which He has commanded you to do? Better think again. Today we look at the prophet Jonah. Jonah is first mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25 as having delivered a message …
We are looking at a recorded prayer of Daniel today. Daniel is confessing the sins of his people, his nation while they are held captive in Babylon. He has read the prophet Jeremiah (Daniel 9:2), and saw the great need for the repentance of the people. The place to begin repentance is with myself. Hear …
We have been looking at the prophecy of Ezekiel. Ezekiel was a captive in Babylon when he was given this prophecy. He spoke much of the nation's return to their homeland, but it would not take place until after a period of 70 years. In the Scripture and prophecy for today's study we see a …
"Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
