The Challenge Of The Cross
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). “And there followed him a certain young man” (Mark 14:51). I want to talk to the young people and especially the young men. I want to talk to you about a full priced religion, the kind that is not afraid to face a Gethsemane and a Calvary and that holds not its life dear unto itself for the sake of truth and righteousness. One of our English poets [Thomas Hood, 1799–1845] has said: “Evil is wrought for want … Read More >

The Fruit Of The Light
“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from … Read More >

Grieve Not The Holy Spirit
“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not … Read More >

Manifesting The Truth In Love
“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” —Ephesians 4:14–16 I never knew until I … Read More >

The Walk Of The New Man
“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation … Read More >

Holding The Ropes
William Carey, that great missionary said, “Yonder is a gold mine. I will descend and dig, but you must hold the ropes.” My subject is “Holding the Ropes”—shall we turn to Acts 9:21–25? “But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.” “And after that many days were fulfilled, … Read More >

The Victorious Life
A missionary convention was held in Rochester, NY, about eight years ago—the great Student Volunteer Convention that is held every four years, once in every college generation. Doubtless many of us who were there felt considerable satisfaction with ourselves at being at that convention. As we heard the wonderful addresses, and saw the vision of world-evangelization opened up before us, we felt that we were considerably beyond the rank and file of professing church members even to be there. We were “interested in missions;” we were not just nominal Christians, we were well beyond that. Some had gone at considerable … Read More >

The Further Appeal To Fellow Workers
“As fellow-workers, however, we further appeal to you not to accept the grace of God without using it.” —2 Corinthians 6:1, 1945 Berkeley translation Here is a call for more cautious and careful treatment of divine bestowments. In the development of his appeal, Paul envisaged a three-fold danger; namely, the disuse, misuse, and abuse of God’s grace. The Disuse Of The Grace Of God “We further appeal to you not to accept the grace of God without using it” (2 Corinthians 6:1, Berkeley 1945). Disuse of the grace which God so wonderfully and so liberally supplies is, wittingly or unwittingly, … Read More >

Christians And Amusements
“Giving no offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed.” —2 Corinthians 6:3 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” —1 John 2:15 Not a few Christians have been‚ and some are—greatly perplexed as to what should be the attitude of a Christian toward the world and its amusements. There are some Scriptures that tell us very definitely that the Christian is not of the world, that he has been chosen out of the world, that he is separated … Read More >

How To Stand Firm In An Overly Sexualized Culture
Recently, I was asked what changes I have observed over my five decades of ministry. At the top of the list was the impact, scope, and effects of the sexual revolution. Another change I mentioned was the explosion of technology, which has fueled the sexual revolution. We all know the internet is filled with destructive websites promoting an entire range of sexual immorality and LGBTQ+ lifestyles. We no longer have to go looking for pornography—it comes looking for us. Sexual immorality, of course, was one of the after-effects of Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, which resulted in their banishment … Read More >
