There is a little mischief in the village about Miss A or Mr. B, and Mrs. Tittle-tattle is up as early as possible, and calls on Mrs. Scandal, and says, “Have you heard the sad news? I hope it is not true.” “No, I have not heard it.” “Well, don’t mention it to anybody else. I hope it is not correct,…

I have told you before of a strange picture that I saw at Brussels, in which the artist has represented the resurrection in a very remarkable fashion, showing the people as partly alive. There is one man with his head restored to life, but his arms remain as skeletons. There is another alive down to…

Taste is a test as to things to be eaten. We prove and try an article of food by tasting it. He who goes to the market to buy cheese draws out a piece and eats it that he may judge of the bulk by the taste. So it is with anything the value of which depends upon the flavor: it has to be tasted that it…

By the Holy Spirit’s application of our Lord’s merits believers are completely cleansed, and there remains neither spot nor wrinkle on their acceptance with Him. But though a man may be perfectly clean who leaves his bath, yet his feet may be soiled as he goes to his room and he needs again to wash them.…

I have often felt, when I have been rambling in the Alps, that nature was too small to set forth God. The mirror is not large enough to reflect the face of the Eternal. You stand in the Alps and hear the avalanche like claps and peals of thunder resounding in the air. You gaze afar off and there it is,…

One day, many years back, a thick darkness came over the United States. Now and then in London we have dreadfully dark days for which we can scarcely account, but this was quite a new experience for the New Englanders, and caused a terrible sensation. So exceedingly black was it that the barn door fowls…

I remember seeing a somewhat famous portrait of our Lord in which the artist never lifted his pencil from the paper from beginning to end, but drew the whole of it with one continuous series of circles. So here I may say the whole Christian life is drawn in one line—coming unto Christ. “To whom you are…

All that is of nature’s spinning must be unraveled. The natural building must come down, lath and plaster, roof and foundation, and we must have a house not made with hands. It was a great mercy for our city of London that the great fire cleared away all the old buildings that were the lair of the plague;…

When I was seeking the Lord, I not only believed that I could not pray without divine help, but I felt in my very soul that I could not. Then I could not even feel aright, or mourn as I would, or groan as I would. I longed to long more after Christ. Alas! I could not even feel that I needed Him as I…

John Bunyan speaks of the law as coming to sweep a chamber like a maid with a broom. When she began to sweep there was a great dust that almost choked people and got into their eyes. But then came the gospel with its drops of water and laid the dust, and then the broom might be used far better. Now it…

Of all the people whom I have ever met with who have told me that they were perfect, I can say that I was morally certain they were not. They had only to talk for about five minutes and they proved their own imperfection. But we shall be perfect one day. “The one who began a good work in you will finish…

During the first week of January 2012 Yahoo! Sports ran two different stories about Tiger Wood’s divorce settlement. The first story reported that his ex-wife received a one hundred million dollar settlement in their divorce. After buying a twelve million dollar home in Florida, she had it bulldozed…

The United States has enjoyed its position as the world’s economic superpower for decades. However, in recent years, this dominance has come under fire and many other countries have made their way up the economic ladder to challenge the US. The International Monetary Fund (IMF,) has made a startling…

A fire in a small Oregon community destroyed everything inside and outside of a mobile home. When the family returned to sift through the ashes, they found the only thing that was salvageable was a small Bible. The family said they were in the process of moving and were not home at the time the fire…

That’s what Liz Curtis Higgs thought. Liz Curtis Higgs was one of the best-known disc jockeys in America, and she lived quite a…wild lifestyle without God. In fact, Howard Stern was the A.M. show, and Liz Curtis Higgs was the P.M. show. And one day Howard Stern said to Liz, “You know, you need to clean…

C. S. Lewis knew about this surrender. He began as a self-described atheistic intellectual. For two years he struggled with this. The Holy Spirit was working on him until he finally discovered the joy of surrender. He writes of his conversion: You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night…

What you see here is a picture of a church. I know it looks like a chart, but it really shows a picture of Peace Church. In 1966, this church averaged 146 in attendance. By 1969, it was at 188. In ten years, by 1979, it had grown to 487. After a little plateau in the ‘80's, we took off again in the 90's,…

It was around August 20, 1959 when a cry was heard . . . and heard . . . and heard! It was me. I was wailing, and wailing, or so I’ve been told by my mom who was probably traumatized by the event. I’m telling you, I was a mess. Couldn’t eat by myself, probably threw up on everybody and besides that I…

Our grandson Riley (you knew if I was talking babies, I’d end up here, didn’t you), is without a doubt, the best-looking, fastest-growing, popular, smartest, and, in general greatest little kid alive. But he does have his moments. Like when we were coming back from vacation a couple of weeks ago. We…

In his best-selling book The Reason for God, Tim Keller reflects on the substitutional atonement of Christ, pointing out that "in a real world of relationships, it is impossible to love people with a problem or a need without in some sense sharing or even changing places with them. All real life-changing…

I read a story about Big Ed. Big Ed went a revival and listened to the preacher. After a while the preacher asked anyone with needs to come forward to be prayed over and healed, so Big Ed gets in line. When it's his turn, the preacher said, "Big Ed, what do you want me to pray about?" Big Ed says, "Preacher,…

Second, don’t just do it, personalize it. I think we miss it here! Even when we help others, we want to be like dive-bombers: We want to dive into the lives of others just long enough to do what we didn’t want to do in the first place, then lift out again without really opening ourselves up to them or…
