Picture a little boy who is dying of a rare neurological disease called adreno-leuko-dystrophy (ALD). We’ll give this boy name – Lorenzo Odone. When he begins showing symptoms, his parents take him to various experts who eventually are able to diagnose the problem,...

By what logic do any of us think we deserve or can expect God’s blessings? Because sin has wrecked every part of being, we have no right to anticipate anything but trouble in our lives. Eliphas was often off track but he was accurate when he said to Job, “Man is born...

The last book we studied in a verse by verse fashion was Peter’s first epistle. That was three years ago. Tonight I’d like to begin to take a look at the sequel – Peter’s second Holy Spirit inspired work. And why? Out of many reasons, I’ll just point out that here is...

In the midst of this uninspiring travelogue, we have a lesson on faith. I have read this paragraph many times and usually found my eyes glazing over and my mind falling to sleep. We should fight against this tendency whenever we read God’s Word, because every part of...

I understand that Bro. White was preaching series of messages from the Book of Joshua before his move. He may have addressed this thought, and some of you may have heard it. But the rest of us haven’t had that privilege, so I turn first for you. But if you are among...

Last Friday, after our time of prayer, some of the men were talking, and wife of my former pastor came up. I mentioned that she had found a church to attend in the DC area, but she was disappointed that her new pastor was leading the church in a “Good Friday” worship...

It probably began earlier, but when Moses reached his fortieth birthday, his heart drove him out of Egypt. He refused to be called the son of Pharaoh and identified with his mother’s people, Israel. In a sense the persecution of them fell on him, but he was able to...

Let’s start with a show of hands. How many of you know the story about Abraham’s offering of his son, Isaac? That sacrifice on the top of Mount Moriah is one of the great mountain peaks of the Bible. It strums so many strings and plays such wonderful music. There are...

To the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, despite being the infinite God, He never coerced people into doing His will or into believing what He told them. He simply laid out the facts, or people’s responsibilities, and left them to make the right decision. How very...

Much of what took place in the Garden of Gethsemane is a mystery to me. I don’t know how to explain the emotions of the God-man, because I don’t know where the Son of God begins and where the Son of Man ends. So, this evening, I’m not going to dig into what Jesus was...

As we read this chapter, do we ever consider the emotion which must have originally lay behind it? I confess to reading these words academically – prosaically – without emotion or genuine concern. Paul says, “I was raised as a Hebrew of the Hebrews, a Benjamite of the...

The Bible illustrates Christ’s churches in several ways, two of which are a body and a family. I expect that you are familiar with both, because they come up fairly frequently in our messages. But just to refresh your memory, Paul, in I Corinthians 12 spends time...

It is safe to say that Peter’s deliverance from Herod’s prison was miraculous. That Peter was asleep under the circumstances was itself somewhat miraculous, but that is not the point. More literally, it was a miracle that one of God’s angels appeared in a locked...

Ha-BAK-kuk, the man with the crooked name, is one of the celebrities of Heaven; one of the friends of God. I will try to pronounce his name “Ha-BAK-uk,” because both my first Bible and my current Bible, give him that pronunciation. But I have to admit that my...

I know that you ladies looked at this scripture last Saturday, but none of us men were there. I feel led of the Lord to share with the rest of us, what you all learned the other day. Some people like to say that Job is “a picture of patience.” Despite what our...
