Before a person can learn to swim he must be able to put is face in water and permit his ears to get wet. Before a person can be an adult, he must first grow from a baby into a child and then into maturity. And before a person can be a Christian he must first be a...

Of the most important differences between Bible Christianity and all other religions, including the “Christian” cults, is that the true child of God possess a very special hope. Christians have something for which to live enabling us to live through...

The Apostle Paul had been directed by God to the city of Philippi to give those people the gospel of Christ. Like so many other cities, the Devil believed Philippi belonged to him, so he did what he could to try to disrupt the work of the missionaries. An unfortunate...

Our subject for this morning may seem a little out our my league. This is the sort of theme which might be found in the big, liberal church down the road – not here. We are better known for more serious messages, not these mushy, topical, feel-good subjects. Around...

Nearly every Christian has tried to imagine what life was like in Eden before sin darkened the picture. What was life like for Adam before his head-long fall into sin? There is no way to determine how long he and his wife lived in the garden before they were expelled....

The church which is concerned about doctrinal purity, and yet still cares about evangelism and souls is going to pop up on Satan’s radar; it is going to have trouble. But when a church leaves the sword of the Spirit stuck in its scabbard, it may not only NOT have...

I have entitled this message – “The Hands of Christ Jesus.” You may think I am nit-picking or just nit-witted, but I see a difference between “Christ” and “Jesus.” Oh, I know those names refer to the same person, but they approach...

There once was a beautiful English garden of the old Victorian style. It had a flowering hedge, a handful of fruit trees in full bloom, and flowers of every variety. It was an “English” garden, which means that each little cluster of flowers blended into...

I can’t speak for everyone, but my thoughts have often touched on Heaven in the last few weeks. And as of yesterday, that has even been more the case. Sister Willi is there with her Saviour, having temporarily left her earthly body here behind. There is much that we...

Jean-Baptiste Karr, was a French writer who lived from nearly the beginning to the end of the 19th century. Jean-Baptiste is credited with the statement: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” That is true in so many ways it’s almost a...

In literature, and common speech, there is an helpful tool called a “simile,” and we use it all the time. It is a figure of speech in which one thing is linked to another with words such as “like” or “as.” We might read, “He...

It appears that our church is going to the dogs. In addition to the dog who ordinarily lives in the apartment down stairs, and to his cousin who visits almost every week, we have had one, two or three other puppies outside during just about every church service for...

As we read the letters of Peter remember that each word is colored by things which he remembered. Things like his denial of Christ when the Lord was being questioned and tortured. His foolish suggestion to build three memorials to commemorate the transfiguration. His...

I have entitled our message this morning: “Wise Agnosticism.” And with that we must begin with a short vocabulary lesson. As the days of the New Testament came to a close, the Apostles and their successors had to struggle with a heathen philosophy called...

This text is as old as the hills. It comes from what may be the very first written book of the Bible. Some think that Moses wrote this book while he was still a shepherd in Midian – prior to the exodus. Some think that Job himself wrote it, while others think that his...
