O C T O B E R 1 5 “And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.” — Genesis 22:10

Trials

Call to mind the biggest trial you’ve ever faced (you might face it even today). Remember the struggle, the pain, the despair? Does it help to know that through your trials God tests and perfects your faith? Consider Abraham trudging his way toward Mount Moriah to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice to God. From Abraham’s trial and faithful response we gain great blessing, a treasure-trove of lessons, to give us insight into what... More

O C T O B E R 1 4 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ … for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” — Galatians 2:16

Justification

Most people don’t get it. The darkness of spiritual ignorance has pervaded people’s minds, leaving vast numbers abjectly ignorant of this central doctrine of Christianity. What am I talking about? The doctrine of justification by faith—the fact that we can have eternal life because Christ’s death has cleansed us of all sin, making us worthy to live in God’s presence. Do you understand justification by faith?... More

O C T O B E R 1 3 “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” — Ephesians 5:8

The Old Lamplighter

Have you ever visited a historical village where a lamplighter lights the street lamps at night? If you have, then you can relate to what Sir Henry Lauder, a famous Scotsman of the turn of the century, saw as he watched a lamplighter one evening at the Hotel Cecil: “I was sitting in the gloaming [dusk], and a man passed the window. He was the lamplighter. He pushed his pole into the lamp and lighted it. Then he went to another and... More

O C T O B E R 1 2 “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations …” — Matthew 24:14

Was Columbus A Christian?

This month marks the annual remembrance of Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the New World. Columbus was a brave and farsighted leader whose monumental discovery changed the world. But our society often questions Columbus’ character. We know he was a man of flesh and blood, a sinner as we all are. And we know he made mistakes. Yet we can’t hold him responsible for all the things modern critics would like to blame him for.... More

O C T O B E R 1 1 “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” — Psalm 29:2

The Beauty Of Holiness

What do you expect when you go to church on Sunday mornings? Do you view Sunday morning church as a type of performance? Many people do. They listen to the choir as if they were at a concert, ready to critique the choir’s performance. They sing hymns but never once as they sing do they ever think of praising God. Instead, they sing hymns by rote, with their minds turned off. But God doesn’t want us to sit back as passive... More

O C T O B E R 1 0 “Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” — Colossians 3:13

Forgiveness

Has anyone ever hurt you so deeply that you not only refrained from forgiving that person but you also waited for poetic justice to catch up with him or her, perhaps helping it along by planning a little retribution yourself? “Revenge is sweet,” says the world, and we often buy into that mentality. But while revenge may offer sweet satisfaction, it sure isn’t Biblical. God tells us that vengeance is His; He will take unjust... More

O C T O B E R 9 “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24

Today Not Tomorrow

How is your day going so far? Are you enjoying it, unfettered by regrets about the past and worries about the future? Or do you find your mind focused on everything else but this day? When I wake up each morning, I like to quote aloud Psalm 118:24—“This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” We need to focus on the present moment. The psalmist encourages us to seize the day … the... More
