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...

There are hundreds of statements in the Word of God which were spoken to specific individuals or groups. For example, when Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s go to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray,” it was not something which we must literally obey. We don’t have to...

After a busy day, when both Judy and I wearied and worn, we watched a recording of the pilot to a new TV show. The ads I had seen made it sound intriguing, but it turned out to be just another medical show. After an interesting beginning, the writers introduced an...

Six months ago I brought message entitled: “The Victorious Transference of Peace.” Our texts were John 14:27 and John 16:33. The Lord Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you;, MY peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth I unto you. Let NOT your heart be troubled,...

On this page beside verse 1 the publisher of my King James Bible has: “The Roll Call of the HEROES of Faith.” Probably, the publisher of your Bible has printed is something similar, perhaps at the top of the page. While it may be a common thought about this great...

I don’t get around very much. I married a wonderful wife 55 years ago, and am usually at home with her. Furthermore, I became your pastor nearly 35 years ago, and I don’t run around on you either. I don’t “window shop,” watching other women or other preachers. I don’t...

Every week, an Australian missionary friend of ours, Frank Tottingham, emails an article he has written. I think he sends them out on his Monday morning, but I get it on Sunday night. The one I received three days ago, led me toward these few thoughts this evening....

The title of our lesson this evening is: “Incarnation, Regeneration and Correlation.” In order to tie things together I have distributed a sheet of paper to the people here in our auditorium. Those of you who are watching on line, or are hearing this through...

When Paul traveled from Athens to Corinth carrying the gospel, he went straight into the synagogue. He testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah that Israel had been expecting for centuries. But the people rebelled against that truth and the Spirit’s conviction...

This is a very strongly worded sentence. Paul says, “In addition to all that I have just written, I beseech you, and I exhort you… “I exhort you – not in my authority as an apostle, but in the Name of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ… “It is your duty,...
