J U N E 2 2 “For He has said: ‘I will never leave you, nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” — Hebrews 13:5-6

Fear Not

How easily we are brought to fear. How often the dark clouds on the horizon seem to gather and they instill fear in our hearts. May I ask you this: Is there anything that is causing you to be afraid right now? Is there some dark cloud gathering on your life? Do you already feel the cold drizzling rain? Is there some terrible calamity that you feel is coming upon you? Consider how God took care of Elijah, His choice servant, even when he was... More

J U N E 2 1 “…awesome as an army with banners…” — Song of Solomon 6:10

The Army of Christ

We are the army of Christ. We sing “Onward Christian soldiers/marching as to war,” although we too often sing it flippantly and without much thought. Nonetheless, we are exactly that—Christian soldiers in the army of Christ. He is the Captain of the well fought fight who goes on before us. We are called to a great battle with the forces of darkness, with principalities and powers of the air. We are called to go forth... More

J U N E 2 0 “Who is this who looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, radiant as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?” — Song of Solomon 6:10

The Radiance of the Church

A beautiful description of the church of Jesus Christ was uttered centuries before she was officially inaugurated at Pentecost. Although the Song of Solomon has much to teach about human love between a man and a woman, it is also ultimately the story of the relationship of the heavenly Bridegroom and His earthly bride—the church. Who is she? We are the bride of Christ. Who is she who looks forth as the morning? In the midst of the... More

J U N E 1 9 “But what is the divine reply to Elijah? ‘I have kept for Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.’” — Romans 11:4

The Character of Elijah the Tishbite

Elijah the Tishbite—his name no doubt conjures up certain images. He was a man of the wilderness and the desert. John the Baptist was a prophet like unto Elijah. He was a man of solitude—a man whom God had prepared for a most difficult time. He was a man of unbending character. He was an austere man. A man whom perhaps many people would not find particularly likeable. He was what some people would call rigid in his beliefs. He was... More

J U N E 1 8 “The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will be watered also himself.” — Proverbs 11:25

On Wealth and Poverty

If I wanted to know about your real spiritual commitment, one of the means to check would be with how you handle money. It is an important indicator of our real, not just professed, priorities. No moral system is complete unless it deals clearly and fully with the subject of wealth and the procurement and dealing with such. Since we live in a materialistic universe, it is quite evident that the individual cannot be moral unless he has food... More

J U N E 1 7 “When a servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, a force surrounded the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, ‘Alas, my master! What will we do?’” — 2 Kings 6:15

Chariots of Fire

As noted yesterday, Ben-Hadad, the king of Aram, found out that Elisha the prophet was revealing to Israel Ben-Hadad’s inner secrets for attacking Israel. Ben-Hadad decided to capture Elisha. So he sent a large group of chariots and horses and soldiers to take Elisha. First the spies tell him that Elisha is in Dothan, and they make a march by night and then the sun rises. That morning, a young man who is a servant of Elisha goes out... More

J U N E 1 6 “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” — Ephesians 6:4

Father’s Day

Well, dads, this is your day—Father’s day, and what is the state of fatherhood in modern America today? One lady, a few decades ago, put it like this: “Women need a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” That is what she said. That is what Gloria Steinem, one of the leading gurus of the feminist movement said. And so, men, fathers, it seems that we are obsolete. We are unneeded. There has been a huge denigration of...
