Don't Just Do Something, Sit There

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Nov 5, 2003

There are two things we should remember about prayer. One -- we should retreat from the busy-ness of the world on occasion to have quiet time of prayer with God. Second -- AMEN doesn’t mean ’good-bye God’ but rather ’Action.’

A few years ago I was in a conversation with some folks and we started talking about Sunday morning worship and each of us began sharing what was his or her favorite part. One person said it was the Apostles’ Creed, because it was at that moment that he was able to stand up and declare his ...read more

“what Is That To You? Follow Me”

Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2022

In the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, the Lord Jesus is presented as the Great Evangelist. From the time He won Nathaniel (John 1:48-51) to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43), He was busy bringing sinners to Himself.

Based on some of the answers it was clear that people are most appreciative of people and the things that helped them to ...read more
