F E B R U A R Y 1 6 “What does it profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith but has no works?” — James 2:14

A Limitation to Growth

Jesus is Lord, and if you’re submitted to Him, He should be Lord of all your life. Are you willing to obey the Lord in all sorts of areas, but one particular one? It may be that because we are holding back in this area, we have reached a spiritual plateau, a limit to our growth in Christ. We grow in grace by our obedience, because as God tells us various things that He wants us to do, we are confronted with a decision, and it is a... More

F E B R U A R Y 1 5 “Nor do I count my life of value to myself, so that I may joyfully finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.” — Acts 20:24

The Unstoppable Evangelist

I once heard about an unstoppable evangelist from Africa. In order for him to not be able to spread the Gospel, the Muslims cut off his feet just about at the ankle bone. He is not able to walk at all. An African missionary showed me a picture of this man, which I showed to my family. He was sitting on a donkey, and I asked the question, “Does this man walk on those stubs?” “No, he can’t do that. He crawls.”... More

F E B R U A R Y 1 4 “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.” — 1 Corinthians 13:1

The Basis of Marriage

What is a marriage based upon? Many erroneously think that love is the foundation of any true marriage. Furthermore, they erroneously define love as a feeling. It is there, mysteriously, and then, some months later it is gone and the plaintive cry goes up: “Alas, I don’t love him (or her) anymore.” So, what is there to do, but get a divorce? A marriage is not based on any feeling of love. This feeling of love is like a... More

F E B R U A R Y 1 3 “Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.” — 1 Corinthians 12:27

The Importance of Fellowship

One of the great means of growth is Christian fellowship. We ought to know people who are holier than we are, and we ought to fellowship with them, and our life will be blessed by their presence. And I hope that you get into a congregation where you can really get to know some other Christians. Remember the old axiom that birds of a feather flock together? This is true in the spiritual realm of spiritual birds as well. They flock together... More

F E B R U A R Y 1 2 “Therefore, everything you would like men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” — Matthew 7:12

Lincoln the Christian

Abraham Lincoln is everlasting in the memory of his countrymen. He was greatly influenced by the Scriptures. Read any of his speeches, and they virtually drip with the Word of God. Many Americans actually think the quote, “A house divided against itself cannot stand” was Lincoln’s. Not so. Lincoln was simply quoting a Bible verse (Matthew 12:25), which his audience probably recognized. In the 19th century, Americans were... More

F E B R U A R Y 1 1 “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” — Psalms 119:11

God’s Word Hidden in the Heart

God’s purpose is that we might grow into the stature of the fullness of Jesus Christ. First, we need to regularly read, study, and meditate on God’s Word. When we memorize His Word, when we hide it in our heart, that is the best defense against the onslaught of temptation. When was the last time you memorized a verse or passage of Scripture? Secondly, there is the matter of prayer, as we go to God each day and confess our sins... More

F E B R U A R Y 1 0 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who was not wearing wedding garments.” — Matthew 22:11

Clothed in the Righteousness of Christ

The Bible uses the symbol of clothing to teach us about righteousness. Jesus told a parable about a wedding feast where all were given the right robes to wear. But somehow a man slipped through who wasn’t dressed properly, and he was thrown out in disgrace. This symbolizes the difference between trusting in Christ or in self for salvation. Remember that text in Genesis where it all began, that God, seeing the feeble attempts of Adam... More
