I have no authority to say so, but I think that if we could have asked Paul, “How is your life going?” He would have said, “I have the best, most joyous, most purposeful life I could every have imagined.” Like all of us – like Daniel – like David – Paul’s life had its...

As I said last Sunday, nearly every important doctrine can be studied beginning with the Book of Genesis. It might be argued that there are exceptions. Which of these doctrines MIGHT not be found in Genesis? (Angelology, Theology, Hamartiology, Soteriology,...

I would like to begin a short study of the Biblical subject of “Faithfulness.” I know this isn’t as exciting as the Millennium or how the upcoming election or War in Gaza relate to the Tribulation. I know that a study of “faithfulness” isn’t like studying evangelism...

Let’s say that as I am getting into bed tonight, the Lord sends me a message. “To whom it may concern. This coming Friday night, I am going to blow out the flame and remove the candle stick of Post Falls’ Calvary Independent Baptist Church.” Being convinced this...

A few weeks ago, we had a message on the Mediatorship of the Saviour. I took as a primary illustration the historically based movie, “Bridge of Spies.” Something I didn’t share with you that day was a line which came up three or four times during the story. Tom Hanks’...

I don’t know if it is bad or good, but most of us don’t think much about our posture – especially our posture as it relates to others or to God. When I was a kid, a part of our Episcopal worship was using the kneeling cushions when we went to prayer. But then and here...

In a book called “Mountains in the Mist,” Frank Boreham made some interesting comments on this Psalm. He reminded his readers that this is one of the so-called “Penitential Psalms” – songs written by sinners with broken hearts over their transgressions and the shame...

Do you have a standard salutation you share with people just before you depart to go your separate ways? What do you say before you click “End call” on your phone or when you’ve finished preparing your email? If you are like me, you may have a regular form of...

I have read, over and over again, the words of famous people extolling the Bible and its influence on our world. Those quotes have come from American presidents, scientists, scholars in literature, historians, anthropologists and many others. They say such things as,...

I’d like us to have some serious fun for a few minutes. A couple weeks ago I preached a message called “The Gospel According to Ephesians,” in which I went through Paul’s epistle, trying to outline the message of salvation. This morning, I’d like to point to some...

Mom has gone to the grocery store, and one of the things on her shopping list is cantaloup. When she comes to a bin with more than fifty cantaloups, how will she know which is the very best? Some shoppers make their decision based upon the color of the fruit, while...

This evening I’m going to add just a couple thoughts to our consideration of angels this morning. Earlier we noted the existence and importance of angels in the Bible. If there are no angels, then the Lord Jesus cannot be trusted, neither can Paul, Peter, the Old...

I am of the opinion that each of us are tri-part creatures. There are some theologians who insist that man is made up of two parts – physical and spiritual. But I take Paul seriously when he says prayed for his friends in Thessalonica: “And the very God of peace...

We will not always have a message about the Lord’s Supper before we observe the Lord’s Supper. Sometimes it will be a sermon about something entirely different. And then once in a while we may not have a message all – we’ll just say a few words and begin. But this...

Brother Fulton referred to this sort of thing this morning in his lesson. The woman whose son was killed in a car wreck caused by a drunk driver, may ask the question: “If there is a God in heaven, why didn’t He keep my son from that deadly accident? Where is the...
