The Christian life is a marathon. The prize at the end of this race is incorruptible and the joy of just being in this race is unspeakable. Of all lifeÂ’s experiences, nothing compares to the surrender of oneÂ’s life to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul set forth this marathon in descriptive language. ... Read More
Of all the methods of redemption that the Father might have chosen, the cross is certainly the cruelest. This Roman method of execution was intended to exact the most unforgettable death possible. A prophet of old wrote, “cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.” (Deuteronomy 21:23/Galatians 3:13) The providence of God established that death ... Read More
The human body is a marvel beyond description. The creative beauty of the physical body, even in our generation of learning, is still beyond understanding. I just read a medical book by a learned atheist that was marveling at the low voltage of electricity in the human body. He confessed that with all his learning ... Read More
It is so easy to be worldly-wise even when our words are pure Gospel. When our skills are honed by the flesh, and we learn the great methods that capture men, we quickly become dependent on those skills. The Spirit of our God is so sensitive to our spirit that the moment we depend on ... Read More

It divides time, cultures, geography, politics and religions. It is the dividing point of all gods and reveals the one God that was willing to give His Son. ... Read More
Two of the most breathtaking words in Scripture are righteousness and holiness. They are also two of the most misunderstood. True righteousness is the work of Jesus Christ alone. There is no acceptable virtue of righteousness produced by human efforts or actions of any description. All human righteousness is altogether as filthy rags, utterly rejected ... Read More
The young saint of God named David slew the giant with “a piece of the Rock.” The stone in his sling was more than a little rock from the brook; it was the hope of Israel and the life of every true believer. When the great giant looked down from his over-large frame on the ... Read More
One ounce of offense is a ton of hindrance. Nothing can weaken a saint of God more than allowing offense in his or her life. Prayer falls unanswered at our feet, and our witness for Him loses its power to bless or convict. Offended, our entire Christian life is reduced to a shadow when our ... Read More
