He who believes in Me . . . out of his heart will flow . . . ? John 7:38

Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God,” but, in essence, “He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him.” Our Lord?s teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a…

. . it is written, ?Be holy, for I am holy? ? 1 Peter 1:16

We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good,…

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full ? John 15:11

What was the joy that Jesus had? Joy should not be confused with happiness. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice to His Father? the joy of doing that which…

Calvary shows how far men will go in sin, and how far God will go for man's salvation. H. C. Trumbull Luke 22:33 33When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Calvary also shows proof that man is enslaved to sin and a stranger to God by birth since the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Romans 5:12 ,19 12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so...

The word preach appears 153+ times in the Bible! The word “Preach” in the Webster dictionary says the word “Preach” means this: To deliver a sermon; To give earnest advice. To proclaim; To publish in religious discourses; To deliver in public, as a discourse….. When people hear the word preach we have a tendency in our minds eye to in vision a self righteous person pointing the finger telling people get right or go to hell! With that in mind folks will use the phrase “Well I don’t need to preach to people I just show them with my life” While there is some truth to leading by example...

I suppose it’s like a young...
