The Seed of Apostasy

"...these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation become offended and fall away (Luke 8:13b)." "What Did You Expect?" is more than the rhetorical question of an alleged cynic, but an axiom for determining just why you get so frustrated and disappointed with others. In ever... Read More

The Songbird And The Flower

In a land not too far away lived a songbird. According to outward appearances this songbird was no different than the rest. She had blue feathers, a white breast, and a yellow bill. But she also had a very special gift! Her gift was discovered one day quite by accident. She enjoyed singing to the Lo... Read More

The Way Of Cain

"Woe unto them! They have gone in the way of Cain..." (Jude 11a) From the beginning of recorded history we find two paths, two principles of relating to the Lord. There is the way of Cain, and there is the way of Abel. Cain was the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. Abel was the younger brother of Cain.... Read More

The Way of the Disciple

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts (Romans 13:14)." "There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end is death (Proverbs 16:25)." "The way which leads to life is narrow, and few find it (Matthew 7:14)." "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Lif... Read More

The Wisdom Of The Pharisees

"This man cannot be from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath day" (John 9:16ff). "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22). I have made the statement several times that most churches would not recognize the Lord Jesus even if He walked down the aisle on Sunday morning... Read More

The Work God Blesses

"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth'" (Genesis 9:1). Every man and woman has a work assigned to them by God. This becomes their purpose, their reason for being on the earth, their calling, their destiny. Abraham had an assignment ... Read More

Three Enemies

"And they overcame [the dragon] by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of their Testimony, having loved not their own lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11)." How many Christians would like to be described as overcomers? Here we see that there are three main characteristics of the one who overcomes.... Read More

To Him That Overcomes

"And they overcame [the dragon] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their Testimony, and they loved not their own lives unto the death" (Revelation 12:11). Whenever I speak or write on the subject of the Overcomers I always preface my remarks by saying that overcoming is the normal Christia... Read More

To Whom Am I Sent?

"Then Jesus said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah ...

Trust In My Life

I'm learning more and more the necessity of letting God have His Way with me. That is not to say I allow Him to live through me at all times as I should. Would that I would so yield, at all times, and without fail. But in the instances where I have allowed Him to respond through me the results have ... Read More

Victory Is A Man

Everyone who looks does not see. Everyone who hears does not listen. What are we looking for? What is it that we need to see? What would God reveal to us? There is but one desire of God for us, and that is that we may see Christ. God does not reveal one hundred, one thousand, or one million things t... Read More

When You Fast

"But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting is not evident to others, but is evident to your Father who sees everything which is done secretly; and your Father, who sees what you do secretly, will reward you openly (Matthew 6:18)." We have sensed a need for some cle... Read More

When You Pray

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites... but when you pray, enter into your closet and pray in secret... and when you pray, do not use vain repetitions... after this manner therefore, pray... (Matthew 6:5-9ff)." For too long we have practiced and preached prayer as a means towards our ow... Read More

Ziklag: The Test Of Kings

Early in my Christian walk I somehow reached the erroneous conclusion that if you love God and do what His Word says then nothing bad will ever happen to you. This idea was reinforced by teachers and preachers who claimed that people who knew how to exercise their faith and operate under the anointi... Read More

"He Could Not Be Hidden"

"And [Jesus] entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden" (Mark 7:24b). The ultimate purpose and intention of God is to increase Christ and decrease everything else so that Christ may be ALL IN ALL. John the Baptist stated this quite succinctly when he summed up God's Et... Read More

"Till We All Come"

"And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a p...
