Child of mortality, doest thou not know? Doest thou not care to know? Is it no concern of thine to discover what thy existence is to be, and where thou art to spend eternity? Horatius Bonar Whither am I going, with all these sins of mine, and with a judgment day in...

One of my favorite experiences is watching the sunrise at the beach. As I sit and watch the sunrise at the exact appointed time, I see the brilliant colors being reflected off the clouds and the water in a spectacular array that is all together different from any...

God is the Intelligence and Power I experience about me every moment. He is the One who reveals His properties and attributes throughout His book, the Bible, and confirms them by His creation and my own experiences. God is spirit (John 4:24). I cannot see Him, hear...

This God who is so evident in everything about us, has chosen to communicate many things about Himself. Through natural laws we learn of His intelligence, His power, His faithfulness, His love of beauty, His basic moral laws, etc. Does He communicate on a more...

Although Jesus walked among us as man, He was much more than a man. He was God in human flesh! God is a Trinity. Jesus Christ is one Person of that trinity. His birth was miraculous. His mother was a virgin (Matt. 1:24, 25). Joseph was known as Jesus' earthly father,...

Jesus is the center of history. The secular world cannot but recognize His life. We cannot give the date without honoring Him. Our years are numbered from the date of His birth. For clarification, we must distinguish of which year we speak. Is it the year AD (Anno...

It is obvious that man is the highest living being on the planet. No other creature comes close to his intelligence and abilities, Man alone has the ability to solve complex problems and to experience deep emotions. Evolutionists try to tell us man is simply a highly...

With sickening heartbreak, God looked at His highest creation and saw the failure and rebellion that destroyed their close fellowship. Man's sin had made a barrier between himself and a holy God. What is sin? Sin is an inherited condition found in every person. Its...

The Holy Spirit is a person, not an impersonal "it." He is a member of the Trinity; one with the Father and the Son. "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all" (II Cor. 13:14). He has...

Prayer is so simple even a child can do it. Yet it is so important that it unlocks the very doors of heaven and moves God to work on our behalf. Prayer is the greatest privilege we can have. It is simply talking directly to the Creator of the universe. God invites us...

"The central issue of the cross was not the physical suffering of our Lord; the central issue was our Lord sharing the sins of the world," said Ray Pritchard. He says further, "In many churches, the cross has fallen to the ground. Instead of boasting in the cross, we...

I believe the church is a fellowship of followers of Jesus Christ, worshipping God, encouraging one another, growing in the knowledge of God, and going out to be a witness to the world. Ekklesia is the Greek word for church meaning "called out ones." In Eph. 1:22, 23,...

I know God has a plan for my life and that He can lead me day by day. However, I am so weak and fallible in my thinking, I need His constant guidance. He has promised to guide me. "Acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths" (Prov. 3:6). "I will instruct thee and...

How can I not believe in something that is mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible? Holy, holiness, or some form of the word is mentioned over 600 times in the Scriptures. Sanctification is a word derived from the same Greek word as holiness, as is the word saint....

Man says - We cannot know truth. There is no absolute truth.  God says -I am the truth (John 14:6). Man says - There are many ways to God. All religions are the same.  God says - I am the way (John 14:6). Man says - It was a Big Bang. Everything came from...

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God" (Ps. 14:1), but many who believe in God do not believe He is involved in the everyday events of life. Storms, disasters, the rise and fall of nations just happen, they say. Many think that even if He created our world,...

An attorney in Winston Salem was heard to say, "I'm empty inside." An English teacher in Russia said, "I'm an atheist, but I know there is something else." The world is full of empty, confused people. But we have an answer to emptiness and confusion. We have a Faith!...

Our society is being attacked by several dangerous philosophies. Women are said to have the right to choose whether their baby lives or dies. We are taught to be tolerant of any and all beliefs and lifestyles (except Christianity and Judaism). Homosexuality is an...

I, Jesus, take thee sinner, to be my true disciple and bride; and I do promise and covenant, before God the Father and these witnesses, to be thy loving and faithful Savior and Lord; in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, for this life...
