May 2 Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? — Mark 10:17

Religious But Lost

The story of the rich young ruler (in Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18) is addressed specifically not to the bum, not to the criminal, not to the person in the jailhouse, but to those who regularly frequent the church sanctuary. It is directed toward the religious-but-lost category, of which there are millions in our country today. It is directed toward those who are respectable, reverent, and worshipful. They are not out on the beach on... More

May 1 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst. — 1 Timothy 1:15

Only Two Religions in the World

There are only two religions in the world, and it is not the religion of Christ and the religion of Buddha, the religion of Christ and the religion of Muhammad, the religion of anyone and the religion of somebody else. It is either Christ Himself, or it is YOU, because every pagan religion teaches you to save yourself by your own goodness. However, if there is anything that the Bible teaches from one end to the other, it is that you cannot do... More

April 30 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going. How can we know the way?" — John 14:5

The Only Way

All pagan religions have a "way." Whether it is the eightfold path of Buddha, the teachings of the Qur'an, the Analects of Confucius, or whatever it is, all pagan religions say, "Here is the way. Walk in that way, and you'll make it to …" wherever it is you are supposed to make it to. If you get to Nirvana or Paradise, and you get there by walking in that way, I have a question: Who got you there? I hope you know. You did. You... More

April 29 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi … — Philippians 1:1

I Rejoice, You Rejoice

Rejoicing is the theme of Paul's epistle to the Philippians. It could be summed up in four words: I rejoice; you rejoice. This theme of rejoicing is like an underground stream that bubbles its way along and then, ever and anon, it breaks forth into the sunshine, sparkling with joy. It is a continual, reiterated refrain in this harmony of joy that Paul gives to us. It is in the Lord Jesus that we can rejoice. We rejoice in Him … in... More

April 28 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair … — 2 Corinthians 4:8

Under the Circumstances

I am sure you have heard the story about the minister who visited a parishioner who wasn't doing well. The minister asked the man how he was doing, and the man replied, "Pretty well—under the circumstances." And the pastor replied, "What are you doing under the circumstances?" The Apostle Paul was an excellent example of a man who never seemed to be under the circumstances. Paul would have us to clearly under­stand that our... More

April 27 … Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. — Ephesians 5:19

Rejoicing

Paul tells us, "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice" (Philippians 4:4). When one stops to think about it, that is exactly the opposite of the way we react. For example, if we were teaching a person the secret of success, we would say to them, "This is what you do first … secondly, you do this … thirdly you do thus, and so on…" Then success will come, and finally, you rejoice. However, Paul says first you... More

April 26 … Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion … — Hebrews 3:7-8

Rejecting the Lord

I have invited countless people to come to faith in Jesus Christ and to participate in the great wedding feast of the Lamb, and they have made light of it. I cannot imagine it, but some do just that. I talked to a 95-year-old man and invited him to the feast. He said no; he didn't want to be bored. I tried to deal with that in an intelligent manner, but I really, upon reflection, think that what I should have said is, "What would ever make... More
