A P R I L 2 7 “The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, ‘Because you did not believe in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you will not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.’” — Numbers 20:12

Moses and the Promised Land

Moses did not get to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, yet his whole life’s work was moving in that direction. Some will say, “Well, it is because Moses smote the rock.” We see in Exodus 17:6 that God said to him, “you shall strike the rock, and there water shall come out of it,” and he did. But later on, in Numbers 20, there is another smiting of another rock, and that time God told him to go and speak... More

A P R I L 2 6 “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23

Guard Your Heart

There is a large corporation whose motto is “Think.” Well we all think all of the time. God is more specific. In Philippians 8, after giving a list of good and wholesome things, He says think on these things. Don’t just think. Hitler was a man who thought, as was Stalin and Mao and Nero and Judas, but the important thing is not merely to think, but what we are to think about. Paul says in Philippians 4:9, if we control...

A P R I L 2 5 “Do those things which you have both learned and received, and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you” — Philippians 4:9

Paul: Do What I Say and What I Do

Many people say in effect, “Do as I say, not as I do.” But Paul says in effect, “Do what I do, as well as what I say.” Paul tells the Philippian Christians to put into practice that which they saw him do: “Do those things which you have both learned and received, and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you” (4:9). He says something similar to the Corinthian Christians: “Follow me... More

A P R I L 2 4 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.” — Philippians 4:8

Be the Bishop of Your Thoughts

We can make a sincere effort to try to counter our thoughts and to bring them into subjection to Christ and obedience to Him, and we will discover that they will affect the life that we lead. I would urge you to look these over from day to day (what Paul lists here) and ask yourself are these the things that you are thinking about? Now ordinarily we don’t stop and consciously ask ourselves what thoughts are going through our minds,... More

A P R I L 2 3 “…for the zeal of Your house has consumed me…” — Psalm 69:6

Zeal for God

There was a man who was watching sailboats out on a large lake. The breeze was brisk and the sails were filled, and he noticed one boat did not seem to be moving. He asked a friend, “That boat does not seem to be moving. Why not? The sails are full.” And his friend replied, “It is anchored.” A lot of Christians may come to church and put up their sails; they may even read the Bible. Yet they are anchored into some... More

A P R I L 2 2 “Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.” — Revelation 2:4

Lord, Increase Our Love for You

Do you love the Lord more than you did ten years ago? I can think of a little girl of about six who was kneeling beside her bed saying her prayers. Her mother was sitting on the bed, helping her by suggesting things for her to pray about. Finally, her mother said, “Darling, why don’t you pray that God might enable you to love Jesus more.” The little girl looked up in astonishment and said, “But mommy, I am just crazy... More

A P R I L 2 1 “The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands.” — Revelation 9:20

Plagues and God’s Judgment

The greatest confrontation that is to be found in all of the Old Testament and perhaps in all of literature, save that confrontation of Christ himself with Pilate, is Moses’ confrontation of Pharaoh. Here we see the true God dealing with unbelief and bringing these ten grievous plagues upon the nation of Egypt and destroying it. These were not the end of plagues in the Bible. We find throughout the whole Old Testament that there were... More
