Russia has never possessed the blessing of religious liberty. While periods of severe persecution have come and gone and come again, there has always been a hatred towards the gospel and Bible-believing people. Today, there are an unknown number of Russian Baptists...

The Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 14:26-27

Oct 18, 2018 | Wednesday

  The year is 1842; the place is the Congo. A Christian family is pushing into the jungle to join a pioneer missionary who is working in the interior. We might argue that no Christian family should be doing this work, because Biblical missions were done by single men...

Books, Goads and Nails – Ecclesiastes 12:8-12

What is the likelihood that our service for Christ in this place might become a blessing to someone on the other side of the globe?  And if it was, how would you feel, if no one even knew your name in regard to that service?     There was a young Irishman, whose name...

The Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 14:17

Oct 4, 2018 | Wednesday

  I thought that I had dealt with the subject of the first half of this verse already, but I was mistaken. It was a small point in a message from Ecclesiastes, but with another theme in mind I only touched it. Ecclesiastes 7:9 says – “Be not hasty in thy spirit...
