J U N E 1 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” — Romans 12:2

On Hypnosis

Don’t let the world hypnotize you into inaction for the Lord. Why don’t we all do something of significance with our lives? I recall seeing a magician at a stage performance ask for a volunteer. A man came forward and was asked to sit down on a stool. The magician began to hypnotize him. Finally the man apparently fell into a deep hypnotic sleep. But before he was brought out of that sleep, the magician told him and the entire... More

M A Y 3 1 “Beware lest anyone captivate you through philosophy and vain deceit, in the tradition of men and the elementary principles of the world, and not after Christ.” — Colossians 2:8

Philosophy vs. Wisdom

The word philosophy comes from the Greek and literally means “the love of wisdom.” The Hebrews received God’s revelation, which was greater than human philosophy. The ancient Greeks had no such advantage, and though wise in their way, they were like blind men searching for light in a darkened room, whereas the Hebrews were in a room which was brilliantly illuminated. For them all that was possible was to approach unto the... More

M A Y 3 0 “These stones will be a memorial for the children of Israel continually.” — Joshua 4:7

A Time to Remember

Memorial Day: It is a good thing to remember. There are more than a dozen different words in the Bible that are translated “remember.” When Joshua led the people of Israel into the Promised Land, he had them build a memorial of stones to remember what God had done for them. We must remember what God has done for us as a nation. Did you know that America is unique because this is the first nation in the history of this planet to... More

M A Y 2 9 “And whoever does not fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.” — Daniel 3:6

The Fiery Furnace, Lion’s Den, and Walls of Babylon

When skeptics read about three certain Jews, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, being cast into a fiery furnace, they scoffed. Same thing when they read about Daniel being thrown into a den of lions. But archaeologists working in the ruins of Babylon discovered an ancient library on clay tablets. Included on these tablets were the punishments for violations of various regulations. For the offense of impiety to any god, one was to be cast... More

M A Y 2 8 “For we have not followed cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.” — 2 Peter 1:16

The Spade of the Archaeologist

The school of higher criticism began in the late eighteenth century. It seemed the higher critics considered themselves called to demolish all traditional views concerning the Bible. For example, they said that it was quite obvious that Moses could not possibly have written the Pentateuch because writing had not even been invented in his day. It is interesting that not long after the time that higher criticism began, the science of... More

M A Y 2 7 “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” — Isaiah 41:10

Don’t Worry About It

What a useless thing it is to worry. It does not accomplish anything. This does not mean that we are not to give some forethought and planning; but it is talking about going over and over and over again those things which we cannot, at the time, do anything about. Worry never accomplishes anything. It does not improve business; it does not bring our children home safely; and it does not improve our health. I wonder how many today have been... More

M A Y 2 6 “Therefore be perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.” — Matthew 5:48

God Does Not Grade on the Curve

I lived for years in the church without understanding the basic message of Christ myself. That message is good news! Good news that Jesus Christ came and suffered and died that we might have eternal life freely as a gift. It is not earned or deserved, dear friend. It is absolutely free. In order for us to earn it we would have to pass the test and the passing grade is 100 percent. Since Jesus tells us we’re supposed to be perfect, we... More
