Three Means of God’s Guidance

There is a story about a ship that was sailing down the coast, and it had to turn into the port. But it was a black night, overcast, no moon, no stars, only a few lights at that time along the shore. How was the captain ever going to find the port? A friend was with him, and he had no idea in that day how in the world this captain was ever going to find his way into that port and into the bay without just running the ship right aground. And...

Never Too Old to Serve the Lord

God can use you whatever your age. I think of a railroad conductor, who worked until he was sixty-five. Because of his job, he didn't get to spend much time in church. When he retired, he wanted to serve the Lord full time. He decided that he was going to invite people to church. He went around to houses, knocked on doors, gave some kind of literature, and invited people to come to his church. After he died, it was discovered that he had... More

Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

In the early days of my pastoring, I had the pleasure of witnessing to a young man in his twenties, who finally accepted Christ. He was growing in the Lord. The very week after he joined the church, he made the central headlines of the newspaper. The FBI was looking for him for some kind of fraudulent activity he had been involved in before. In fact, when they found him, he was so overwhelmed by this experience he had a mental breakdown. I... More
F E B R U A R Y 2 7 “Peter answered Him and said, ‘Lord, if it is You, bid me come to You on the water.’” — Matthew 14:28

The Secret to Walking on Water

As we know, one night when the disciples were on the Sea of Galilee and Jesus was not present, a storm came up. They were afraid and even thought they saw a ghost. It was Jesus, walking on the water. Then, impetuous Peter said, “If it is you, let me walk on the water to You.” And Jesus said, “Come.” Peter, climbing up the gunnel of the ship, steps down upon the water, no doubt very hesitantly. Holding on to the side,... More

The Real Super Bowl

Every year millions of Americans eagerly await the Super Bowl. This is when the two most successful and powerful teams in the country meet together for a final conflict, for the championship of the world, preceded by a long competition leading up to the final event. But when you think about it, there is a real Super Bowl, which is of far greater consequence than any football game. I am talking about a supernatural bowl in which there are... More

The God of 11:59 P.M.

God’s timing is perfect. But sometimes, we may feel that Christ seems far away. Let me assure you He is watching you and is able to come to your aid. It may not be nearly as soon as you would like, but life is a school, and we have to be left to learn the lessons. I believe life’s great central lesson is to learn to trust Him. As we know, when the disciples were on the Sea of Galilee one night, at Jesus’ instructions, a... More

Remembering God’s Presence in Our Lives

How often it is with us, that in the midst of our distresses and troubles, we think God is far away—that Christ is far away—and we seem to be all on our own without any resources or help. Sometimes we despair; we are terrified. But Christ is watching us. Whatever problem we are in, though Christ may seem far away, He is there, watching, and He is willing and able to come to our need. Oftentimes it seems He comes in the very last... More
