M A Y 1 8 “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” — Psalm 23:6

To Be or Not To Be

We can’t always say that what Shakespeare’s characters say is what he believed. Nevertheless, I believe Shakespeare was a Christian, and his testimony on that is clear. Consider the character Shakespeare paints of Hamlet, the melancholy Dane. Consider his view of life as contrasted with that of the devout Christian. In this famous scene, Hamlet has an unsheathed dagger in his hands. He is wondering whether he should kill... More

M A Y 1 7 “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? — Romans 8:32

A Contrasting View of Life

There is a big difference between a Christian view of life and a pagan one. For example, the prince of atheists, the Frenchman Voltaire, once said: “I think we human beings are indeed contemptible creatures. I exhort you to enjoy as much as you can life, which isn’t much.” Of course Shakespeare’s Macbeth said: Life’s but a walking shadow A poor player That struts and frets His hour upon the stage And then is...

M A Y 1 6 “What is your life? It is just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.” — James 4:14

What is Life?

I am convinced that the vast majority of people on this earth live and die without ever having the slightest idea of what life is all about. Now that is a sweeping judgment. I make it, however, in compassion and love. It is tragic beyond words. I have given my whole life in an effort to try to solve that problem. Many live as if it will all end after their life “vanishes away.” May I call to witness a few people who should,... More

M A Y 1 5 “But as it is written, ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’” — 1 Corinthians 2:9

Something To Really Look Forward To

For the Christian, death is not an enemy. It will lead us to the great blessing as we come to meet Him face to face and experience that joy of which this world has never conceived. Of course, we should do nothing to hasten our death. That is in God’s hands. There have been many reports of people who have “died” and found themselves in heaven. Then they come back. I have known some personally who told me their stories. All... More

M A Y 1 4 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one should boast.” — Ephesians 2:8-9

God and Predestination

The Bible teaches that God is the sovereign Lord and controls all things. And in His sovereignty, He allows men to do what they wish. Now when He allows a person to sin, it is the person who is acting according to his own evil nature that does it. Now this is where people say, “Well, is not predestination simply allowing people to act according to their own will and to receive Christ?” But it won’t work that way because... More

M A Y 1 3 “This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful, and you will be wise.” — Joshua 1:8

God’s Guarantee of Success

“It’s guaranteed,” the sign says. “Double your money back,” the label declares. Many a product has been sold with such a promise only to have the purchaser discover later that it contained a slight flaw. The person who made the guarantee, as you often see on TV, is counting on the fact that you won’t bother to pack it up and ship it back; or if you try to get your money back, find that the salesman has...

M A Y 1 2 “…remembering the genuine faith that first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and that I am persuaded lives in you also.” — 2 Timothy 1:5

Mother’s Day

On Mother’s Day, we need to remember that there is no gift that we could give them that compares to the gift that they have given us—the gift of life. In fact, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, for without the moral law of God taught them by their godly mothers, men find it extremely difficult to govern rightly. This has been echoed by innumerable great men of history. Abraham Lincoln said, “All that I am and... More
