February 7 To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi ... — Philippians 1:1

A Real Live Saint

While visiting recently with a couple who did not know Christ, we talked about what a Christian was and I said, “Have you ever met a real live saint?” They assured me they had not. “Well,” I said, “how would you like to meet one?” They asked, “Do you know one?” I said, “Yes, I do. In fact, there is one right here today.” I reached out my hand and said, “Meet Saint James,... More
February 6 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. — Psalm 33:9

A Godless Universe?

Whether God created the universe or not makes all the difference in the world. The teaching of the “godless universe” has ramifications beyond the world of science. It is not true that all scientists believe in evolution. One scientist who is a Christian observes, “Parents can work hard to educate their children to be patriots and morally upright citizens. But four years of college of the kind I experienced—where I... More
February 5 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. — Psalm 33:6

The Big Lie

Evolution simply says that the whole universe is made up of nothing but matter; that matter, time, and chance—the trinity of materialism—have brought all things into existence and, therefore, there is no God. A great multitude of people believe this because it is what they have been taught. The results of this teaching have been devastating. The root of the problem of most of the great ills that have afflicted society and still... More
February 4 Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. — Philippians 1:6

Don’t Miss the Ending

Once a man went to see a play in three acts. He came back and recommended it to a friend and said, “It was a marvelous play. You will just love it. It is so uplifting and exhilarating. You will be greatly encouraged.”  So his friend went to see it. The next day the man saw his friend and said, “Well, how did you like it?”  “How did I like it?  I hated it. I thought it was just terrible. How could... More
February 3 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. — Romans 8:28

God’s Synergy

A physician may prescribe some medicine for us. Previously, when we would take the prescription to a pharmacist, he would gather the various chemicals from his shelves and with mortar and pestle he’d begin to mix them together. Now the interesting thing is that not infrequently there might be found among those various ingredients things which, of themselves, would be quite deleterious to your health, if not in fact, fatal. For example,... More
February 2 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. — Romans 8:28

A Hostile or a Friendly Universe?

We live in what appears to be a very hostile universe. Just a few thousand feet beneath us is molten lava waiting to consume us. A few thousand feet above us there are deadly cosmic rays that would slay us in a moment. The entire universe is governed by the basic law of entropy, which is determined to crush us in the final extinction of all things. This world is filled with war and pestilence and famine, sickness, disease, decay, and death.... More

The Greatest Promise

This is one of the greatest texts in all Scripture: “All things work together for good to them who love God.” No other text covers as much territory; no other text offers any more than that; no other text conveys such hope and such comfort as that. Unfortunately, for many people, no other text seems more difficult to believe. In face of all of the problems that we know in this life, some would say it cannot possibly be true.... More
