Imagine you are having a regular day at home or at the office, and then without warning, you are in the presence of Christ with a new body and in an entirely different realm of existence. Incredibly, Jesus is beside you, friends who have died are there, and you find yourself mingling with an innumerable host of people, all suspended in midair. You are reunited with your mother, father and friends long since forgotten on Earth. But the focus is on your leader and Savior, King Jesus, who has returned as He promised: “And if I go and prepare a …

I want to read from the second chapter of the epistle to the Galatians, beginning with verse 11:
“But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,” (Now the apostle Paul is speaking and he is speaking of a protest that he made to a fellow apostle, the apostle Peter)
“But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
“For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were …

Message given at The Moody Church by Rev. William A. Dean, Pastor of Aldan Union Church, Aldan, Pennsylvania.
“For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he …

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”—Hebrews 12:1–2
I want to bring to you a message which might be, I trust, of some help to those especially …

The most important thing a Christian does is to worship God. Worship is the foundation for everything else we do. As you read Hebrews 11, you discover a progressive spiritual experience in these men of faith. Arthur Pink, the well-known Bible student, points out that in Enoch we have the walkof faith; in Noah, the workof faith; but in Abel—the first man named in Hebrews 11—we have the worshipof faith. Our walk, our work, our witness, all depend upon our worship. And yet worship seems to be the one privilege (and responsibility) that we Christians neglect the …

“Not accepting deliverance that they might obtain a better resurrection.” —Hebrews 11:35
All nature is full of resurrected things. It would seem as if our northern lands God in His providence has brought together both the spiritual and the natural springtime that the world like an open book might speak to us of the deeper mysteries of the new creation where every blade of grass and every bursting bud and every blossom seems to whisper to us again, “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much …

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”—Hebrews 4:15
The devout follower of Jesus Christ is greatly shocked by the denials of the deity of our Lord; equally grieved is he by the claims of many of the rationalists that He could and did make mistakes, especially during that period denominated “The awakening and evolution of His God consciousness.” Yet, that same devotee of the Master may do Him as serious an injustice as the unitarian or the …

“We should therefore pay the more careful attention to what we have heard, so we may nowise drift by on a tide of unbelief.” —Hebrews 2:1 (Berkeley translation)
Visibility for many Christians has been reduced to a sad minimum. The lack of scriptural knowledge has beclouded vital issues, weakened convictions and lessened productive activity. There is a definite deflection through disinclination. Haziness about the will of God and laziness in the work of God result from an indifference toward the Word of God. No one is so blind as the one who does not want to see.
Internal Deterioration

Notes of a message preached by Pastor Alan Redpath on Sunday, March 3, 1957.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” —Matthew 11:28–30
The sequence of teaching in this chapter throws light upon these well-known words. The Saviour had pronounced in severe tones the doom of the impenitent. The cities which had seen the working …

“That by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us; which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.”—Hebrews 6:18–19
There is an ancient legend that the gods filled a box with blessings and gave it to Pandora, the first woman, for safe keeping. She opened it incautiously and everything in it escaped except hope. But Pandora, with hope in her box, was richer than she could have been if every …
