BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL! »

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103: 1-5) IN this psalm we […]

APOSTASY »

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15) Look narrowly at the causes or excuses for defection. Why do they renounce the religious profession they once espoused? The fundamental reason is a want of grace, a lack of true faith, […]

THE DELICIOUSNESS OF WORK »

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. (Revelation 7:15) A true idea of heaven is that it is a place of uninterrupted service. It is a land where they serve God day and night in […]

FORGIVENESS: THE GREATEST OF ALL MIRACLES »

And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “ Take courage,son; your sins are forgiven.” (Matthew 9:2) Jesus’ ultimate words to the paralytic, “your sins are forgiven,” represent the greatest of all divine miracles and definitely the most desirable for the one who hears them. This is the holy […]

SHUT YOUR EYES TO SIN »

Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? (1 Corinthians 5:6) Oh, if our mother Eve had shut her eyes when the serpent pointed out yon apple on the tree! Oh, that she had shut her eyes to it! Oh, that she had said, “No, I will not look at it.” Looking leads […]

JESUS VS. DEMONS »

When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Himas they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You […]

GRAB ONTO THE LIFELINE OF PRAYER »

And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, […]

PRESENCE OF MIND »

“Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” (Proverbs 3:25-26) When God is abroad in judgments, He would not have His people alarmed. He has not come forth to harm but to defend […]

THE GOSPEL: SIMPLE YET NOT SIMPLISTIC »

By Christian Research Network contributor Jon Cardwell This is a repost of an original article on Justification By Grace “And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to […]

GLORY IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS »
