A Terrifying Victory

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

The mind cannot grasp all that Jesus went through on the cross, but we need to try because He went through it all for our salvation.

I remember learning a poem when I was a boy, which you will no doubt recognize. The first lines were, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.” I have been told that this poem is out of date, for the scientifically educated modern child can say, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, I ...read more

Guilty But Pardoned

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He pardoned us for all of our unknown sins of omission that we can never confess. His forgiveness was universal and comprehensive.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would ...read more

Love’s Response To Hate

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He forgave us and all mankind for the sins that are sins of omission. These are sins we are not aware of and so we can never confess. Jesus forgave these along with all other sins.

One of the most diabolical criminals of his day, and the first big time American gangster, was also a very impressive pulpit orator. John Murrell as a youth was caught for horse stealing, and after a public whipping he was sent to prison. He declared eternal vengeance upon society for this, and ...read more

A Terrifying Victory

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Good Friday brings us to a subject where men of all ages stand in awe, for it brings us to the cross. Ever since that awesome event on Golgotha's hill men have looked at the cross and thought, "Wonder of wonders that Jesus loved me."

I remember learning a poem when I was a boy, which you will no doubt recognize. The first lines were, "Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are." I have been told that this poem is out of date, for the scientifically educated modern child can say, "Twinkle, twinkle ...read more

Good Friday

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Jesus is identified with the lamb, for they die without a fight. They meekly go to their death without attacking or resisting. Jesus laid down His life voluntarily, and He did not, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, snarl and rip and tear at His crucifiers.

Two leading British scientists have done a great deal of research, and they have concluded that Jesus died on Friday April 3rd, 33 A.D. Collin J. Humphreys and W. G. Waddington of Oxford University published their findings in the British Science Magazine. Their combined study of the Gospels and ...read more

I SAW TWO ADVENTS. Luke 17:20-25. LUKE 17:20-21. The Pharisees were expecting a glorious, wholly visible coming of “the kingdom of God.” What they could not recognise was that the kingdom of God was here already, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation,” Jesus pointed out, because “the ...read more
