“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.” Psalm 104:33 Here are some true examples of what a song can do. I was in the middle of the airport, but there it was—the…
For us to understand God, He must speak to us in anthropomorphic terms. When He speaks to us of anguish, He must explain it in a way that we can understand. In Jeremiah 4:19-22, we have God crying out as if He were a…
APOSTOLIC PRAYING As we look to the biblical account of the book of Acts we see the striking theme of prayer throughout its testimony. We see in it apostolic prayer that depends on God, that is desperate before God. The…

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jer. 1:10 Of this six-fold commission, four injunctions…
Dr. Moody Stuart, a great praying man of a past generation, once drew up a set of rules to guide him in his prayers. Among these rules is this one: “Pray till you pray.” The difference between praying till you quit and…
Either Christianity is the grossest deception that was ever palmed upon mankind, or else it is one which deserves the whole life and force and strength of every man who has been blessed by it! Some Christians live as…

“I am the good shepherd; I know My sheep.” John 10:14 Christ knows all His sheep. His knowing His sheep is His loving them. This is a great consolation. He knows every one of their names. John 10:3, “He calls His own…
The artist, way up on the scaffolding, stood back to admire his own handiwork. He had been painting the most beautiful picture on the underside of the cathedral dome. And as he paused in his work and stood on the…
