in His humanity Christ partook of our sinful, fallen nature. If not, then He was not “made like unto His brethren,” was not “in all points tempted like as we are, ” did not over comes as we have to overcome, and is not, therefore, the complete and perfect Savior man needs and must have [...]

“It is appointed unto man ONCE to die.” Cemetaries give silent testimony to this fact. Its an indisputable law of nature. Jesus broke the law of nature by bringing Lazarus back. That is the nature of “miracles.” They break laws of natural law. Jesus is not bound by natural law. Events can look naturally dark, [...]

“conversation”=character. It’s an old English word for “way of life.” No matter which way the market is moving, God is always better than gold.

We may not know what we are going to do. The only thing we know is that God knows what He is doing. Abraham had to leave his country, which was essentially Babylon; his family, meaning his ethnic kindred, the Semitic people; and his house, his near relatives. He did not wait for further or [...]

Angels that don’t look anything like angels. Some might look like bums from the bowery, but they may have a song dying in their hearts because nobody knows and nobody cares. Deep within many a forgotten life is a scrap of hope, a lonely melody trying hard to return. Some are in prison. Some in [...]

Heb 10: 25-26: Not forsaking the assembly of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much more as you see the day approaching.” If we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus will cleanse [...]
