Give Me More Time
You have probably heard about the preacher who introduced a sermon on “Procrastination” by saying, “This is a much needed subject and I’ve been intending to preach it for several months, but for some reason, I’ve kept putting it off.” If we are honest with ourselves, we are all guilty of putting off until tomorrow what we should do today. Students put off studying until the last minute, employers put off a big project that is due. Many put off filing their taxes until April 15th. Husbands are good at putting off what their wives ask them to do. While these ...
Do All Roads Lead To Heaven?
The consensus of those in our society would say that the vast majority of people will go to heaven when this life is over. Most seem to think that by living a good, moral life heaven will be their eternal home. With the number of religious groups that exists in our society and even throughout the world, many are under the impression that we are all trying to get to heaven, but on different roads. Does this idea come from the Scriptures? Do all roads lead to heaven? To answer the question, let us consult the words of Jesus. He said, ...
Do You Know The Shepherd?
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the ...
Fear of God
Not long ago, one of the highest compliments an individual could receive was to be called a God-fearing person. Today, to say that an individual is a God-fearing person would bring ridicule and scorn. As Christians, we must not lose touch with how important fearing God is to our spiritual success. Defining the Fear of God • “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him” (Psalm 33:8). In this passage the Psalmist defines the fear of the Lord as “standing in awe of Him.” Having the fear of God is ...
Don’t Believe Everything You Hear
There are so many things that are being said in the religious world today that go against what God has revealed to us in His word. Don't believe everything you hear just because your preacher said it was true. I encourage you to be like the Bereans in that they "received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so" (Acts 17:11). Let's consider a few common myths that are said today: As long as your religious you are acceptable to God We live in a country where we have the freedom of religion and ...

A young man was the only survivor of a shipwreck. He was swept by the waves onto a rock. He lay there all night until he was spotted and rescued the next morning. He was asked, “Did you tremble while you laid on the rock during the stormy night?” The young man answered, “I trembled all night… but the rock on which I... [Read more of this review]
Pressing On to the Goal
Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that which also I was laid hold of by Jesus Christ. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do; forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward for what lies ahead, I press on to the goal for the prize...
