Reading Deuteronomy 24 - 26 today... "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin." Deuteronomy 24:16 (KJB) Before many of us buy anything we wonder what the price of that …

Balaam Went to his Place
"And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way." Numbers 24:25 (KJB) Let me share my thoughts on Balaam. It is quite clear to me that he was out for the material reward of his "gift", ie. his ability to use sorcery for good, for cursing, or …
When GOD Speaks
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,,," Numbers 8:23 (KJB) The question has been, "Does God speak in today's world?" or "How does God speak today?", maybe even, "What modem does God use to speak to us today, or any day?" I will try to answer those questions. First let us address the verse from …
The Commandments
"These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai." Leviticus 27:34 (KJV) The commandments the LORD gave to Israel on Mount Sinai are many. The Ten Commandments given in Exodus 20 are a condensed version of the others given throughout the books of the Law, and Leviticus. …
As the LORD Commands
"Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he." Exodus 40:16 (KJV) In the reading of Exodus 39 - 40 this morning I noticed the phrase "...As the LORD commanded Moses" 14 times. It is important for the Christian to realize, and act on what God has said. It is …
The Most Holy

…Partakers of the Divine Nature…
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power hath given unto …
Praying
Even the apostle Paul; maybe I should say, “The apostle Paul” needed prayer just as any of us do. Prayer must not be something we do only when we have an emergency situation. We “…ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). Sometimes we get requests for praying for specific personal needs from …
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 …
Neither Will I Count My Life Dear to Myself
“And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might …

Better Think About It
“Am I a God near at hand,” says the LORD, “And not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD." Jeremiah 23:23-24 (NKJV) When these verses are read, we might ask the question; …
The Attraction of the Christ
The following is an excerpt from a sermon preached by Reuben Archer Torrey in a message titled "THE GREAT ATTRACTION: THE UPLIFTED CHRIST" "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." John 12:32 (KJV) "Notice in the fourth place, the words, 'Unto Me.' 'I will draw all …
Sinners and Saints
"To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Colossians 1:1-2 (KJV) The letter from the apostle Paul, written to the Church of Colosse begins very similar as his other letters (Romans, Corinthian letters, Galations, Ephesians, Philippians, …
The Clothes We Wear
"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." Colossians 3:12-13 (KJV) We could look at living the Christian life …
In The Wisdom of God, The World through Wisdom Did Not Know God
"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? …
