  • The Power of God, By Thomas W Muir

    God must reveal Himself, His greatness, grace, and glory, or with all our fancied knowledge we must remain in ignorance of Him. How varied are the opinions of men as to His character. One man speaks of Him as though He were a cruel tyrant, more than willing to crush…

  • Forgiveness Isn’t Cheap by Todd Zulick

    READ THIS and DO What GOD COMMANDS US TO DO. One of the Most Important Messages in Life. 70 Second Reading. True forgiveness isn’t cheap. Imagine that someone borrows $1,000 from you. They promise to pay back $100 every month, but then you never see a check. They just don’t…

  • Divorce: A Perpetual Sin? By Doug Miller

    I ran across this letter that was written in 2007. I thought it proper to republish it. August 2007 To Christians gathered to the Nameof the Lord Jesus Christ, theirs and ours. From those so gathered at Grace Gospel Chapelof Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear Brethren, we send you greetings in…

  • The Midnight Cry – Andrew Miller

    The long-suffering and patient grace of the Lord Jesus shine very sweetly to faith in the parable of the ten virgins, which represents the great body of professing Christians, true and false, wise and foolish. The heart loves to dwell on Him who lingers in His compassion for those who…

  • Heart Cry, by F V Mildred

    In the words of Thomas Carlyle, “Prayer is and remains always the native and deepest impulse of the soul of man.” This instinct of prayer is universal, and idolatry is a proof of it. Among the most depraved tribes and savage peoples are found idols to which prayers and sacrifices…

  • The Pharaoh of the Exodus, By B R Mikhael

    A little history on The Pharaoh’s of Exodus. Of the five major historical periods of ancient Egypt, only three were involved with the history of the nation of Israel in the days recorded in the Pentateuch and historical books: A) The Middle Kingdom(2000-1750 b.c.) B) The Second Intermediate Period (1750-1570…

  • Taking Things Patiently, by F B Meyer

    What glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.”  (1 Peter 2:20) The servants here addressed were the household servants and slaves, so largely employed in…

  • Learning from History, by Irving W Risch

    We Can Learn From Looking Back At History What we do today will be history tomorrow. Someone must have said this before me, but this thought just came to my mind. I just finished a three-part series on “The Challenge of the 70s.” by William McRae. We could easily write…

  • The Meeting of the Church, By William McRae

    The insights of children are often far beyond their years. Their honesty sometimes staggers me. I heard of a young lad who once accompanied his father to their Sunday night church service. It was a warm summer evening. The service seemed boring and dull. The message was addressed more to…

  • “The Challenge of the 70’s”Part 3, By William McRae

    Part 3. This is the last of the series. The challenge of the ‘70’s must not only be faced by dedicating our lives in an unconditional surrender to the Lord, and met in the power of a Spirit-filled life, but it must also be accepted by redeeming the time. Following…

  • “The Challenge of the 70’s”Part 2, By William McRae

    Part 2 Power Unlimited In our previous message on “Unconditional Surrender,” we spoke of facing the Challenge of the ‘70’s by dedicating our lives to the Lord. This morning our subject is “Power Unlimited” or “Meeting the Challenge of the ‘70’s in the Power of a Spirit-filled life.” For ages,…

  • “The Challenge of the 70’s”Part 1, By William McRae

    Part 1 – Unconditional Surrender or Facing the Challenge of the ‘70’s by dedicating our Lives to the Lord. It is quite possible that no generation of Christians has ever faced a greater challenge than this present decade presents to us. Bertrand Russell said unless something unforeseen happens, one of…

  • Why I do what I do? by Irving W Risch

    I just finished republishing 35 brief book reviews (each less than 5-minutes long) by Jim McKendrick. He made a comment about out of print writings from the past. And then it talked about a publisher re-publishing some of them, mentioning how important it is to have some of these old…

  • What in the World is Going On.

    I started writing this article last Fall and finished and published it today. Look around you. What do you see? I am not talking about the immediate surroundings but what is going on not only in our nation, but in the world. My grandson posted on Facebook yesterday a page…

  • Reading and Writing, By Irving W. Risch

    I read a lot and write very little, but I hope to change this. I started going through a series of articles by Jim McKendrick, and they are mostly book reviews. Some of the books he reviews I’ve read. Two that he mention were A Woman Rides the Beast by…

  • God’s Way of Salvation, By Alexander Marshall

    “I Pray Thee Have Me Excused” A distinguished person in the East, at great expense, provided a sumptuous feast, and invited many. When the time came for the arrival of the guests, they all absented themselves, and sent excuses. The fact was, they did not wish to go, and, not…

  • A Lesson in Love, by David Logan

    It was a Sunday evening in the busy Emergency Department where I was onduty with other physicians. There had been an accident in which a pickup truck hadoverturned. The occupants, three young men, were brought in for evaluation and care. One of the young fellows was so drunk he could…

  • Godly Sorrow, by David Logan

    “There’s a snake!” My sister’s words were urgent as our family chatted in the living room of our African home. We followed her gaze and with a cold chill recognized an adult spitting cobra under one of the chairs.  Immediately all conversation ceased and other activity halted until we had…

  • Three Cheers! By David Logan

    “Cheer up,” they told me, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up—and sure enough, things did get worse. In contrast to man’s well meaning, but empty phrases, when Christ tells us to cheer up, there is every good reason to do so. On at least three occasions, He told…

  • Trust in the Lord and Do Good, by David Logan

    “I wish my husband, who does know the Lord, would take more of a leadership role in our family Bible readings,” a mother of several small children confided to us. Instead of nagging her husband about it, she turned to God in prayer, putting her trust in Him. Some time…
