May 9, 2019 | This Sunday in Baptist History

If there ever was ever a “Bible belt” in Canada it was in the Maritimes, but unfortunately it lasted for only a short time. I understand that there are former Baptist churches empty all over the eastern provinces today. One of the men of God working in the...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 21:30-31

May 9, 2019 | Wednesday

  Two or three months ago we looked at Proverbs 19:21 – “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.” I approached the verse in a general sort of way; a way which is absolutely true. In other words a...

Abram, the Warrior of God – Genesis 14:1-25

May 6, 2019 | Sunday Evening

  Brother Fulton and I were chatting the other day, when he mentioned that he had enjoyed teaching through a passage full of genealogies. We agreed that if God put something into His Word it must be there for a reason. My Bible has about 1,300 pages, but it could be...

The Sociable Saviour – John 2:1-11

May 5, 2019 | Sunday Morning

  This morning I want to return to a text from which I preached only 2½ years ago. That was a textual message presented with the intention of bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. We looked at Christ’s creative power, His sympathetic heart, and His undeniable glory....

Many religionists are content in gathering only two or three times a year. Some of the more faithful try to come together at least once every week. The true children of God, however, love their Lord enough to want to worship and learn of Him more frequently than once...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 21:18

May 2, 2019 | Wednesday

  A well-taught Christian might be surprised by Solomon’s declaration in verse 18. “The WICKED shall be a ransom for the RIGHTEOUS; and the transgressor for the upright.” When the Christian reads the word “ransom” he might automatically think...

Four Failures before Success – II Kings 4:8-37

Apr 28, 2019 | Sunday Morning

  I trust that no one has any doubt whether or not I believe God that raised this little boy from death into life. There is no question but that He did. It took place exactly as it is described here, even though we don’t have some of the smaller details. That being...

Apr 25, 2019 | This Sunday in Baptist History

Thomas T. Martin was born on this day  in 1862. The place was Smith County, Mississippi. His father was a Baptist preacher and college professor, but T.T. wanted to become a lawyer. That was not the Lord’s will. God had given him several special gifts, and He intended...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 21:3

Apr 25, 2019 | Wednesday

  We have in verse 3 one of those scriptures which can be easily distorted into soul-damning heresy. “To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.” Any of a huge number of sects and cults might point to that and say, “The...
