“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” —Genesis 3:15
Here is the first Gospel message in history. Of all the golden tongued evangelists of all time, God is the first to tell of a Redeemer. And for the telling, He waits not an hour after sin has, through Satan’s lie, made moral wreck of the creatures of His hand. Moreover, it is told in one breath with the denunciation of judgment upon Satan, showing that judgment precedes salvation. God …
“And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? None is good save one, even God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother. And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth. And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and …
Why the Middle East Awaits the Coming of Christ: Jesus’ Birth is the Promise of Eternal Peace!
As I write this article (autumn 2025), President Trump is returning from Israel after securing a peace deal between Hamas and Israel. I am celebrating this cessation of hostilities and praying for this peace to last a long time. Perhaps there will even be an opportunity for a wider Middle East peace deal. I pray that there is!
However, the unfortunate reality is that a lasting peace will be much harder to secure. Israel is a land drenched in history; a land acquainted …
When you consider God’s greatness and man’s littleness, it is simply an infant talking to the Infinite, and yet if you are a stranger to prayer you are a stranger to power.
Moses prayed and a nation was saved from death. Joshua prayed and the sun stood still. Hannah prayed and God gave her a son. Solomon prayed for wisdom and God made him the wisest of mortal men. Elisha prayed and he received the mantle and a double portion. Daniel prayed and the angel locked the jaws of the lions. Peter prayed and Dorcas arose. The thief prayed for …
“And Mary brought forth her first born child, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” —Luke 2:7
Those of us who believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures, believe in “the inspiration of selection.” That is to say, we do not have in the Gospels a full and complete account of all that Jesus said or did. We have only those events, narratives, incidents, and sayings which were necessary to record for the redemptive purpose for which Christ came into the world. There are many …
There is no time of the year when people generally are so moved to kindly consideration of others as when the whole professed Christian world is recalling anew the wondrous circumstances connected with the first advent of our blessed Lord. Even the worldlings who know Him not as their own Saviour cannot but feel the impress of the marvelous love of God in the great gift bestowed upon mankind when He sent his Son that He might become in due time the propitiation for our sins. Bethlehem, apart from Calvary, would be utterly incomplete. It was on Calvary that our …
Our theme is Your Family and God. We are thinking not simply of your family, but of your family—and God. It is one thing to rear a family. It is quite another to bring God into that family. It is one thing to make a home. It is quite another to make that home a Christian home. The chief task then for every Christian parent is not simply to make a home—anyone can do that—but to make that home a Christian home. We are concerned with the how of this task, how to bring God into the home, or …
We have come through a tumultuous political season. For too many months, discussions about Trump and Clinton dominated our conversations—often accompanied with a great deal of apprehension, disagreement, and anger. This was a year like none other. Even now, with the election behind us, we know the inauguration of the new administration in January will bring with it more politics, more buzz, and more division.
Now, though, the Christmas season is upon us.
How do we make the mental transition from politics to give our full attention to Christ, the One who rules in righteousness, the One to whom all …
I am very grateful to Mr. Philpott for the kind way in which he has presented me to you, and if he has had any blessing through my ministry, I may say in return that I have been richly blessed by his ministry. I consider it a great privilege this evening to attempt to take his place.
I am going to read three verses of Scripture only, and if these should seem somewhat strange to you as a Scripture reading, I shall endeavor very shortly to let you know why I have read them. These three verses are found in …
We are beginning today a series of at least four sermons on Bible Types of Modern Men, and this morning our subject is “The Man Who Won and Lost.”
You will find the text in Genesis 13:10–11: “And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the …
