A U G U S T 2 2 “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” — 2 Corinthians 9:6

On Giving And Receiving

When you have an opportunity to give away money, what’s your attitude? Do you give generously, with a happy heart? The Bible tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. It also says that we shouldn’t give grudgingly or from compulsion. But many people do just that. They look on their giving not as sowing but as throwing, such as the man who put a dollar in the offering plate and afterward sang with all his might, “When we... More
A U G U S T 2 1 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21

Tragedy or Triumph?

If you knew that you were going to die today, how would you feel until the moment arrived? Death can be either the most frightening or the most delightful prospect to an individual. How a person feels about death depends totally on his or her relationship with the Lord. Consider how one man changed his perspective on facing “the king of terrors” as his relationship with Jesus Christ changed. John Wesley was an unbeliever and a... More
A U G U S T 2 0 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” — Mark 16:15

“Preach The Gospel”

When we first come to the Savior, we come with empty hands, empty of anything that could commend us to His kingdom. With empty hands we embrace His Cross and trust in His redeeming work to save us. But when we meet Christ in Heaven, we hope our hands will be full to overflowing with the souls we’ve led into His everlasting kingdom. If you were to meet Christ in Heaven today, what would you hold in your hands to offer Him? Christ has... More
A U G U S T 1 9 “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” — Psalm 96:3

The Glory Of His Majesty

In your opinion, who is the most awe-inspiring person ever to have lived? What makes that person so incredible? Now think of God. Isn’t it amazing that no matter how awe-inspiring some people are, none can compare to the majesty of our great God? Today let’s dwell on God’s awesomeness. First of all, God is a Spirit. While He is a personal Spirit who touches each individual life, He is also an infinite Spirit, inhabiting... More
A U G U S T 1 8 “But one testified in a certain place, saying: ‘What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him? You have made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of Your hands.’” — Hebrews 2:6-7

A Noble Origin And Destiny

How you view humanity has a great impact on how you treat people. So what do we make of the fact that humans have killed more of their own in the twentieth century than in any of the previous centuries? What does this tell us about the way we view ourselves? I believe we can attribute the rise in the rate at which humankind kills its own to the rise in the number of people who believe in evolution. People no longer believe that humans are... More
A U G U S T 1 7 “… Jesus Christ is Lord …” — Philippians 2:11

Master Or Genie

Is Jesus the Lord and master of your life, or is He but a genie in a bottle, there to answer your every beck and call? In some quarters of today’s Church we find a sort of theology that says one may accept Jesus as Savior and reject Him as Lord. This is heresy. People who believe this come into “faith” still hanging onto their plans, their goals, their agenda. They receive Christ as a genie in a “theological... More
A U G U S T 1 6 “A man who has friends must himself be friendly …” — Proverbs 18:24

The Test Of A True Friend

Think for a moment of the best friend you’ve ever had. What made that person such a great friend? What was it about that person that made you want to reciprocate friendship? Good friends are hard to come by in our mobile, “rootless” society. With so much to do and so little time, many of us don’t invest what it takes to develop true friendships, instead settling for temporary “acquaintanceships.” But in... More
