There are two kinds of people in this world. You could describe them as “the dead” and “the living” – those spiritually quickened and those dead in their trespasses and sins. If we wanted, we could spend the next ten minutes applying...

How much of a roll does God play in the affairs of men? That is a theological “hot potato,” and it has been for centuries. It may be the single most divisive subject among today’s Baptists. This church has lost members because they couldn’t see what I...

With this message I’d like to start a brief series of lessons on this unique and interesting epistle of Paul. From the outset, it’s appropriate to ask: “Why is this letter included in the cannon of the scriptures?” It is the only letter of Paul which is...

The Christian life involves a continual struggle for balance. Just think about that for a moment. Christians are both fleshly and spiritual beings, and our carnality wants to be dominant. But we can’t let that happen. To put it another way, we live in the world, but...

Out of all the Old Testament Hebrew festivals, sacrifices and rites, Christians are usually more familiar with the Passover than any other. In I Corinthians 5:7 Paul declared to a congregation made up mostly of Gentiles– non-Jews – “Christ OUR passover is...

This is one of the great, great events in the lives of those who surrounded the Lord Jesus. I have preached from this chapter three times, as far as I know. One message was entitled “The Gospel according to Lazarus,” and was exactly that – a gospel...

At times around here we share some friendly ribbing about “Biblical numerology.” There are some who put special spiritual significance on the numbers we find in the Bible, and there are others who don’t. Those who do sometimes say that 6 is the number of...

Last Sunday morning, the title of our message was “The seven Days of Noah.” The theme revolved around the week during which Noah was in the ark before the flood began. They were days of testing and trial for Noah and his family, but they were days of...

For several months now, I have been pasting a daily devotional onto the church Facebook page. I have no idea if anyone reads it, but as it is a part of my morning routine and I am blessed in reading it and forwarding it. My source right now is Spurgeon’s little...

These words are among the last ever spoken by Moses under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Not only as a man of God, but also as a seasoned veteran of life, he has something to say. Moses has lived nearly twice as long as the average man. He has experienced the...

It was 45 years ago that Judy and I were sitting in the living room of Missionary Ken Johnson for first time. We had been in Lethbridge, Alberta, for the better part of a year, while he and his family were in living in South Calgary about a hundred miles to the...

What does it mean to be a “Christian?” There are dozens of different answers, and sad to say, few of them are correct. Why do I even have to say that attending a Christian church doesn’t make a person a “Christian”? I have to say it is...

A month ago we had the first in a series of messages entitled “Eschatological Absolutes.” My plan is to address those areas of prophecy which I think are unassailable – Biblical absolutes. Printing presses around the world, produce hundreds of new books...

Two weeks ago we had the first in a series of messages entitled “Eschatological Absolutes.” My plan is to address those areas of prophecy which I think are unassailable – Biblical absolutes. There is more controversy and divergence of understand about...

In our current doctrinal statement – under the title “The Lord’s Return” – there is this statement: “We believe that Christ Jesus is coming back to earth again; that His return shall be personal, audible, visible, and bodily; that it shall mark the...
