July 18 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. — 1 Corinthians 15:26

The Great Unmentionable

Death is something that causes the human mind to recoil. We do not like to think about it. The great English poet and dramatist Ben Johnson said that man spends all of his life in one effort after another trying to avoid the thought of his own mortality. The great English preacher Charles Spurgeon, however, would call us to look upon it. He said that the time comes, erelong, when these shining orbs by which I look out upon you and through... More

July 17 For the good that I desire to do, I do not do, but the evil I do not want is what I do. — Romans 7:19

The Addictiveness of Sin

One of the tragic things about sin is that it is addictive. It doesn't matter what kind of sin a person gets into—not just alcohol or drugs—all sin is addictive. The more we do a particular sin, the stronger becomes our addiction and the more its chains hold us, and the greater our desire for that sin. Some of you know exactly what I am talking about; you have been there or you are in bondage right now. The good news is that every... More

July 16 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus … — Romans 3:23-24

Accepting God’s Grace

Grace means looking away from yourself unto the cross. It means being accepted because of what God is, not because of what we are. It means being accepted, not based on what we have done, but in spite of everything we have done. It is the free gift of eternal life. If you have never received that grace, I urge you to receive it now. You don't have to plead your virtues; you don' have to plead your great accomplishments. You see, there's... More

July 15 God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not by our works, but by His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began … — 2 Timothy 1:8-9

Saved By Grace

The meaning of grace is totally unmerited favor to those who deserve disfavor. To the undeserving, to the ill-deserving, to the Hell-deserving, God offers eternal life, but not because of anything that we have done. If Bible passages could be likened unto mountains, Ephesians 2:8-9, " For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one should boast ," would be... More

July 14 Have the gates of death been opened to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death? — Job 38:17

The Walking Dead

A distinguished professor of psychology told his class of a rather striking case of somnambulism (sleepwalking). A man got out of his bed, went down the stairs, opened his front door, and walked across the lawn and out into the street. He walked right out of town and on through the fields and meadows. He never woke up until his bare feet stepped into the cold water of a stream that crossed his path. Then, suddenly, he awakened and looked... More

July 13 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. — Psalm 51:2

Is That You, David?

There is an inevitable sadness connected with sin. Theologian Clarence McCartney reminds us of David, a man after God's own heart and the beautiful Psalm-singer of Israel. But who is this that we see lying prostrate on the ground in the dust, weeping out his penitential tears and crying to God for mercy: " Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take away Your Holy Spirit from me " (Psalm 51:11); "… all my bones are out of...

July 12 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abhorrent injustice; there is none who does good. — Psalms 53:1

A Leap of Blind Faith

One of the fruits of evolution has been the proliferation of atheists. Do you realize that before Darwin, an atheist was as scarce as a hen's tooth? Oh, there were a few around, but very, very few. Do you know why? Because if you said you were an atheist, all I had to say to you was, "Look around, buddy. Where did all of this come from?" And the atheist said, "Ah … but … uh … I don't know." Then came Charles Darwin,...
