How to Give Away a GIFT
This morning the Word of God instructed us always to be ready to make a case for our hope. And the exciting discovery for me in that text in 1 Peter 3:14,15 was that the way to get ready was to get hopeful . The best way to be ready to give others reasons why we pin our hopes on Christ is to seek ou... 阅读更多

I Chose You to Bear Fruit
October 11, 1981 John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit" (John 15:16). On the day after the night in which Jesus spoke these words to the eleven and to you, Glen, he laid himself down on the cross and bought you with his blood. You are ... 阅读更多

I Have Kept the Faith
2 Timothy 4:6-8 For me, the end of a year is like the end of my life. And 11:59 P.M. Wednesday night will be like the moment of my death. The 365 days of 1980 are like a miniature lifetime. And these final days are like the last hours in the hospital after the doctor has told me that the end is very... 阅读更多

I Seek Not What Is Yours but You
A Sermon on Tithing January 24, 1982 2 Corinthians 12:15 Several weeks ago I spent four days at Shalom House, our Conference retreat center. The text that filled me with most longing and soaked through my prayers was 2 Cor. 12:15, "I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls." The last morn... 阅读更多

I Will Magnify God with Thanksgiving
Psalm 69:30-32 I Will Magnify God with Thanksgiving I will praise the name of God with a song I will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs. Let the oppressed see it and be glad; You who seek God let your hearts revive! (Psalm 69:30-32... 阅读更多

I Will Raise Up for David a Righteous Branch
December 13, 1981 "I WILL RAISE UP FOR DAVID A RIGHTEOUS BRANCH" In 1051 B.C., Saul was made the first king of Israel. About forty years later, David, the youngest son of Jesse (1 Sam. 16:11), began to rule. David was "a man after God's own heart" (1 Sam. 13:14) and stands to this day as the embodim... 阅读更多

In the Pits with a King
Psalm 40:1-3 One of the great benefits of reading the Psalms is that they present us with patterns of life that the godly go through in every age. And in doing that they encourage us that we are made of the same stuff as the saints of old and they give us guidance how to follow the pattern of godlin... 阅读更多

Is God for Us or for Himself?
Years ago I went to the Billy Graham crusade in Anaheim, California. There were about 50,000 people there that night, I think, and I sat in the left field bleachers and could see the whole massive crowd wrapping around the infield. When we sang "How Great Thou Art" I managed to get out a few notes a... 阅读更多

Is There Good Anxiety?
April 21, 1981 2 Corinthians 11:28 IS THERE GOOD ANXIETY? In retrospect I think I can see that one of the deeper reasons why I left Bethel College to enter the pastorate is that the things that concern me most are states of the heart rather than states of the mind. In my own set of values orthodoxy ... 阅读更多

It's My Pleasure!
Those who know me best know that I am a Christian Hedonist. That means that I think my desire to be happy is a proper motive for everything I do. I do what I do because I think it will make me happier in the long run. In fact, I think that if I abandon this pursuit of joy, I will become incapable of... 阅读更多

Jesus Is Precious As the Foundation of the Family
March 21, 1982 Ephesians 5:21-6:9 Jesus is precious because he removes our guilt. He is precious because he gives us eternal life. And he is precious because through him we become authentic. Jesus Christ is the most important man that ever lived. To know him is more valuable than knowing all the mos... 阅读更多

Jesus Is Precious Because He Gives Eternal Life
February 28, 1982 John 10:22-30 Since coming to Bethlehem in July, 1980, I have averaged about one funeral per month. One of the things I regret about this experience is that all of you can't share it with me. I know that some of you would not live the way you do if once a month you had to spend thr... 阅读更多

Jesus Is Precious Because He Removes Our Guilt
February 21, 1982 Romans 3:19-26 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and so the whole world may be held accountable to God. For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law co... 阅读更多

Jesus Is Precious Because His Biblical Portrait Is True
Part One February 7, 1982 1 Corinthians 15:17 Suppose that you go to visit a person who does not know how to read English and is about to drink a bottle of iodine.

Jesus Is Precious Because His Biblical Portrait Is True
Part Two February 14, 1982 John 7:1-18 After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews' feast of Tabernacles was at hand. So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are ... 阅读更多

Jesus Is Precious Because through Him We Become Authentic
March 14, 1982 Romans 14:1-9 This is the fifth in a series of seven messages on "Why Jesus is Precious." The series has two purposes. I argued in January that the motivation of believers to tell other people about the value of Jesus will rise or fall in direct proportion to how precious Christ reall... 阅读更多

Jesus Is Precious Because We Yearn for Beauty
March 28, 1982 2 Corinthians 3:7-11 I am going to assume this morning that there is a God who is personal and who created all things. There are not many atheists who come to church and so the only evidence for this assumption that I lay before you is this: if there is no personal God then the concep... 阅读更多

Jesus Is the Horn of Salvation
Luke 1:67-79 When Herod was king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless. But they ha... 阅读更多

Jesus Versus the Occult
July 26, 1981 Deuteronomy 18:9-12 JESUS VERSUS THE OCCULT I would like to begin this morning with a definition of the term occult. I designate anything as belonging to the occult that involves dealings with the world of spirits or of supra-normal forces which (dealings) are not oriented on Jesus as ... 阅读更多

John the Baptist and the Brood of Vipers
