M A R C H 2 3 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear…” — 1 John 4:18

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

How many people are prevented from ever succeeding because they allow past failures to short-circuit their faith in the Lord? They forget what God can do with us when we let Him. Questions put to me sometimes are very amusing. One young man recently said to me, “Oh Dr. Kennedy, I so admire your intellect. You graduated from graduate school summa cum laude.” That’s not the way it was always. Before I was a Christian, I went... More

M A R C H 2 2 “For to me, to continue living is Christ, and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21

Avoiding Cheap Substitutes

This statement from Paul should be engraved like an intaglio upon the heart of every Christian. However, there are many cheap substitutes that clamor for our attention that we must eschew. To live is… ... NOT PLEASURE “For me to live is pleasure,” cry a whole host of voices today. For surely the Bible says that sin has its pleasure for a season—then come the consequences. ... NOT MONEY There are others who... More

M A R C H 2 1 “So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.” — Genesis 29:20

Christ—the Passion of Life

We are all familiar with Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ. But turn the words around, now that we are saved, Christ should be the passion of our lives. Someone said that one man with a passion is worth a hundred men with an interest. There are a lot of people here who have an interest in religion, but, alas, I am afraid very few who have a passion for Christ. I have had the joy of knowing a few, and they stand out in my... More

M A R C H 2 0 “To them God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the nations. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27

Christ – the Power of Life

Christ is the power of my life. The Bible says that Christ will come to dwell in our hearts—that we can be strengthened with His might in the inner man and be able to accomplish many wonderful things through His strength. We had a number of folks come over to our house one time for some fellowship. Later in the evening, one of the young men said, “I have a question.” I said, “Yes. Don’t make it too hard or I... More

M A R C H 1 9 “For to this you were called, because Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps.” — 1 Peter 2:21

On Imitating Christ

Christ has left for us an “example.” The Greek term hupogrammos is an interesting one that means, literally, an “underwriting.” This is a reference to that which was done in the Greek schools at the time when the teacher would very carefully write out the letters of the Greek alphabet for the primary students. Then the students would write over them in their own feeble attempts to reproduce and imitate the example the... More

M A R C H 1 8 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” — John 3:6

Is Christ the “Parent” of Your Life?

The Scripture makes it plain that as we are born by nature, we are merely flesh—flesh that is corrupting, decaying, and dying. That which is flesh is flesh, and it goes the way of all flesh. We need to have a new birth from above. Jesus said we must be born again in a new and glorious and never-dying life. I remember one time being interviewed by a reporter who said to me, “Are you...Are you one of those...those... More

Happy Sinner Patrick Day

March 17 is actually “Sinner Patrick Day.” But though he was a young and rebellious youth, he was to be finally overtaken by the “Hound of Heaven.” This young man from England was captured by pirates. At age 16, living as he did on the beach of the western coast of England, just south of Scotland, he and two of his friends had spent the day in the breakers in the ocean. Suddenly, they looked over here and they saw a... More
