5/2/2004 A 70-year-old grandfather was asked by his young grandson how things have changed since he was a kid. His reply is worth reading. "Well, let me think a minute. I was born before television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill. There weren't things…

Barna: Doctrinal confusion abounds; Mohler: Church is key to discipleship Oct 14, 2002 By Michael Foust LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--Seventy-nine percent of Americans profess a belief in the Trinity, while 74 percent reject the concept of original sin; 59 percent say Satan is merely a symbol of evil; and nearly…

Shipwrecked 8/27/2007 There were two men shipwrecked on this island. The minute they got on to the island one of them started screaming and yelling, "We're going to die! We're going to die! There's no food! No water! We're going to die!" The second man was propped up against a palm tree and acting so…

L. R. Scarborough, former president of Southwestern Seminary, once preached a sermon on Jonah and the great fish. After the sermon was over his little boy said to him, "Dad, do you really believe that story? Do you really believe that a fish could swallow a man and keep him alive for three days?" Dr.…

There is a great difference between sin dwelling and reigning in us. It dwells in every believer, but reigns in the unbeliever. - D. L. Moody Sin is to be overcome, not so much by maintaining a direct opposition to it, as by cultivating opposite principles. Would you kill the weeds in your garden, plant…

~~~ Here's to Mom! ~~~ My mother taught me IRONY - "Keep laughing and I'll give you something to cry about." My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE WHAT I HAVE - "It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick." My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE - "If you're going to kill each other…

FIRST PERSON - Religiously correct prayer: The secular left goes berserk By R. Albert Mohler Jr. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--As expected, the inaugural ceremonies for President George W. Bush opened and closed with prayer. Unexpectedly, the prayers have ignited controversy and unleashed a firestorm of histrionics…

Remember that the safety of the weak and of the strong believer rests upon the same foundation. On board one of the fine steamboats that flit between England and America there is a strong, hardy, vigorous man. Will he get to America safely? Yes, if the ship does. But yonder is a little child that cannot…

How to Abide and How to hear God’s will

Did you ever visit the manufactory of splendid porcelain at Sèvres, France? I have done so. If anybody should say to me, “Do you know the manufactory at Sèvres?” I should say, “Yes, I do, and no, I do not. I know it, for I have seen the building. I have seen the rooms in which the articles are exhibited…

New evidence is sometimes brought into court that completely changes the aspect of the case. If you have been on a jury, you would not like to tell your fellow jurors how many times you have changed your mind while you have heard the evidence. If you have listened attentively, I expect you have had half…

Suppose you had been a pig all your life, and that you were suddenly made into a man. Well, now you are a man, you look through a telescope; swine cannot do that. You look through a microscope; I never knew a pig do that in my life. Swine do not talk, but you speak, you sing, you pray, you are quite…

Pastors today are faced with more work, more problems, and more stress than any other time in the history of the church. This is taking a frightening toll on the ministry, shown by the statistics below: Pastors: · Fifteen hundred pastors leave the ministry each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout…

Ishmael, the son of Hagar, had his water in a bottle, and he might have laughed at Isaac because Isaac had no bottle. Here was the difference between them: Isaac lived by the well. Now, some of us have little enough in this world; we have no bottle of water, and no stock in hand. But then we live by…

I can use no better illustration than the distinction between fainting and dying. There lies a young creature; she can scarcely breathe; she cannot herself lift up her hand, and if lifted up by anyone else, it falls. She is cold and stiff; she is faint, but not dead. There is another one, just as cold…

The Book of God has stood so many attacks from such different quarters that to be at all alarmed about it shows a very childish fear. When a rock has been standing all our lifetime, and has been known to stand firmly throughout all the ages of history, none but foolish people will think that the next…

Have you never noticed how men get their senses clear through affliction? I read in the life of good Dr. Brown that when he first preached he heard two women at the door talking to one another about his sermon. One of them said to the other, “Ah! It was very well, but it was almost all tinsel.” A short…

I suppose that no two genuine prayers from different men could be precisely alike. Master artists do not often multiply the same painting; they prefer to give expression to fresh ideas as often as they grasp the pencil. So the Master Artist, the Holy Spirit, who is the author of prayer, does not often…

John Wesley once said, “Now, if I knew I should die tomorrow morning, I would do exactly what I have planned to do. I should take the class meeting at such an hour, preach at such an hour, and be up at such a time in the morning to pray.” That good man’s life was spent in prospect of sudden departure,…

It is wonderful what a difference love makes in the person who is possessed with it. A poor timid hen that will fly away from every passerby loves its offspring. When it has its chicks about it, it will fight like a very griffin for its young. And when the love of Christ comes into a timid believer,…

Going down to Sheerness on Friday, I was told by someone that during the recent gale several of the ships there had their anchors rent up. They had gone dashing against the other ships and had done considerable damage. Now, if their anchors had held fast and firm, no damage would have been done. Ask…

The swallow dips his wing into the brook, and then he is up again into the skies, soaring toward the sun. The duck can swim in the pool or dive under the water—it is in its element. So the Christian just sometimes touches with his wing the streams of earth, but then he is up again where he should be.…
