J U L Y 6 “Wisdom has built her house…She has killed her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also furnished her table… ‘Come, eat of my bread’” — Proverbs 9:1-2, 5

Come to the Feast

In Proverbs 8 and 9, we see wisdom personified. In the latter chapter, she holds a feast and sends forth servants to invite others to come. In the Greek Septuagint* we find exactly the same words as are found in the New Testament where Jesus talks about a feast and servants are sent out to compel others to come in. So I think that there is a biblical reason for believing this applies to Christ. Some object to the idea that wisdom... More

J U L Y 5 “Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15

Study to Show Yourself Approved

God has made us unique creatures in this world. We are the only beings on this planet who have been given an intellect; all others operate by blind instinct. God expects us to use our minds. If we do not, we will stand in the judgment and give an account of the reason that we have not. Now I think that very often people do not consider that mental laziness is a sin. There are some people that say that they have no desire to learn much, and as... More

J U L Y 4 “For freedom Christ freed us. Stand fast therefore and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” — Galatians 5:1

Independence Day

In 1776, fifty-six men, representing three million people, voted to adopt one of the most revolutionary documents in history: the Declaration of Independence. If the fledgling colonies succeeded in defending themselves from the most powerful nation on earth, it was worth the risk. If they failed, these fifty-six men were signing their death warrants. The level of the signers’ commitment and their willingness to sacrifice in order to... More

J U L Y 3 “But he disdained to lay hands on only Mordecai, since they had told him of the people of Mordecai. So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.” — Esther 3:6

For Such a Time as This

At one time, the fate of the entire Jewish people rested in the hands of one young Jewish woman, Esther. This is the story of that short book in the Old Testament and how God in His sovereignty saved the Jews. But if Esther had given in to her natural inclinations, they might have perished, or God would have saved them through some other means, but she and her family would have perished. The wicked Haman had convinced King Xerxes of the... More

J U L Y 2 “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” — Acts 2:42

The Importance of Fellowship

My friends, we are the witnessing community of Jesus Christ, and we today live in a world where it is possible that we shall one day pay the same price for that witness that the early Christians paid in the arena. What a oneness is created when we realize that among us are those who also are placing their lives upon the line as they boldly witness for the living Christ. Furthermore, we are the branches, and Christ is the vine, and, thus, we... More

J U L Y 1 “For if through the trespass of one man [Adam] many died, then how much more has the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.” — Romans 5:15

Is Evolution a Fact?

Jesus is the second Adam. Through His death He undid the sin of the first Adam for all who believe. But some people today assume that the first Adam is a myth; therefore, they reject the second Adam and His gift of eternal life. They assume that human origin via evolution is a proven fact. Well, did Darwin present overwhelming facts? It has been noted by scientists that he did not by any means ever demonstrate the origin of any species. He... More

J U N E 3 0 “…but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.” — Proverbs 8:36

To Sin Against God’s Wisdom Is to Sin Against Oneself

In Proverbs 8, God’s wisdom cries aloud in the street and beckons men and women to live their lives according to His precepts. She then concludes with today’s verse. I think that there is a great truth found here. It is a very far reaching truth. For example, none of us would ever think of pitting ourselves against the law of gravity. One would not climb up the Empire State Building and jump off just to see if sometimes it... More
