The Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 10:2-3

Feb 15, 2018 | Wednesday

  I have been debating with myself about how deep to go in our study of these proverbs. I think by their very nature proverbs are meant to be quick and powerful. They are guerilla attacks for truth rather than long sieges against the strong position of the enemy. On...

The Breastplate of Righteousness – Ephesians 6:14

Feb 12, 2018 | Sunday Evening

  I am surprised once in a while by one the Lord’s minor miracles. Three weeks ago, the Lord laid on my heart a review of the Christian’s armor, and today that brings us to “the breastplate of righteousness.” Next Wednesday, our on-going devotionals from...

Why I Glory in the Cross – Galatians 6:14

Feb 11, 2018 | Sunday Morning

The Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 10:1

Feb 8, 2018 | Wednesday

Proverbs 10 begins the same way the Book of Proverbs began – “The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.” It is entirely fitting that we should find here “The proverbs of Solomon,” because this is where they actually begin. The...

The Girdle of Truth – Ephesians 6:10-18

Feb 5, 2018 | Sunday Evening

  There is an enemy of Christ who is out to destroy the Lord’s Kingdom and to silence His subjects. And that means you and I are in spiritual danger. The Satanic attack against us may be physical or it may be entirely spiritual. Probably most often it is a combination...

“It is the Lord” – John 21:1-7

Feb 4, 2018 | Sunday Morning

The biography of John Dillahunty is almost as strange as his name. His grandfather, David de la Hunte was a French Huguenot who fled to Ireland in his escape from the Catholics. John’s father and mother then immigrated to Maryland, where John was born in 1728. When...

The Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 9:13-18

Feb 1, 2018 | Wednesday

  I use a King James Version, Thompson Chain Bible for my study and preaching. It has marginal notes which can take me to topical studies at the back after the Book of Revelation. And beside first line of verse 13 is the number 3881 followed by the word...
