“The maid who sweeps kitchen is doing the will of God just as much as the monk who prays, not because she may sing a Christian hymn as she sweeps but because God loves clean floors. The Christian shoemaker does his Christian duty not by putting little crosses on the

Demosthenes was the Greek orator who trained himself to speak publicly and clearly by filling his mouth with beach pebbles, then spoke so as to be heard above the ocean waves. Just so we have learned to self-speak so that we hear only our voices over the

Those who love each other want to be together always. And God wants to be with you always. That in itself is proof that he loves you. And you and I cannot resist such love. Or, if we can, we shouldn’t. God’s love ought to melt away

The crowd jumps to its feet. Many clench tissues or wipe tears on
their sleeves. The applause is thunderous, intermingled with
cheers and praise to God. Who would have guessed a developmentally
challenged teen could invoke such a response? For my son,

"As I look ahead, far ahead, two to three years down the road, I do see God doing it, even though I may not know all of the details today. That’s what vision is. Vision is not a crystal ball or hearing audible voices. It is the belief in one’s heart that God is going to do something that is

THE PARADE INTO HEAVEN
Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem marked the beginning of his last week on earth. It fulfilled prophecy and revealed his true identity to the masses. But I think it was more than that. It I believe it was God’s own gift of encouragement to Jesus.
As Jesus rode

“It is precarious to call any one chapter of the Bible ‘the greatest chapter’ because the entire Bible is great. It is God’s Word. Nevertheless, there is a sense in which the eighth chapter of Romans is even superlatively great. These thirty-nine verses begin with ‘no condemnation’ and end with

FAITH: REASON AT REST
The late Manley Beasley defined faith as a "reason at rest with God." To me, that's powerful, but it hits me even harder when I remember that he went on to say, "Faith is dependency upon God, and this God-dependency only begins when self-dependency ends." And what do we see

As D. L. Moody said, "Trust in yourself, and you are doomed to disappointment; trust in your friends, and they will die and leave you; trust in reputation, and some slanderous tongue may blast it; but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity." Luther gave a similar

Did you know that a wasp was larger when it first comes out of the egg than at any time in its life. It continually shrinks in size until it dies. Some Christians are like a wasp. Sadly, some believers are larger for God at the point of salvation then at any time in their lives. This shouldn’t be.

Quote: J.C. Ryle in Foundations of Faith said:
Who can estimate the value of God’s gift, when He gave to the world His only begotten Son! It is something unspeakable and incomprehensible. It passes man’s understanding. Two things there are which man has no arithmetic to reckon, and no line to

After the service was over, a young man was sitting off to the side of a group. This young man had been in some trouble and was going the wrong direction, but was trying to turn around. The pastor went up to him and asked him about his commitment to God. The young man responded, "I have always

A fellow once made the remark that if he were God, he could certainly do things much better than God seemed to. For example, he said, if I were God I would not have caused the fruit of such a tremendous tree as the oak to be an acorn. Such a mighty tree needs to bear a much larger fruit, like a
