SHARING YOUR FAITH IS NOT HARD Typically, a person wants to tell everyone about a gift he or she received. Yet many people treat salvation like it's some kind of secret. They know what a wonderful thing they have but they're reluctant to tell others. * Sharing is called many things. The Bible calls sharing…

This poem was given to me, quoted to me actually while serving an interim at the Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC. This dear elderly lady was a resident of a local nursing home during that time (c. 1978-1979). The pastor of the church and I visited with her and when she learned that I was preparing for a career in ministry, but attended a Methodist College (Wofford, Spartanburg, SC) she was greatly concerned that I do not leave the Baptist denomination to become a Methodist

I have heard of a church clergyman who was once waited upon by his churchwarden, after a long time of drought, and was requested to pray for rain. “Well,” said he “I will offer it, but it’s not a bit of use while the wind’s in the east, I’m sure.” There are many who have that kind of faith: they believe…

Just as we sometimes see a strong and healthy person growing pale and wan, losing appetite and falling into sickness until he becomes a mere skeleton because a general sapping and undermining of the constitution has come upon him, so have I seen it with Christians. They do not lose life, but they do…

The Israelites in Egypt had no doubt caught very much the spirit of the Egyptians, and the spirit of the Egyptians was the exact opposite of the spirit of a true-born Englishman. We rejoice that we are free. We are in the habit of discussing laws and criticizing statutes, and if there were an unjust…

Take pure and unadulterated milk, and let it stand, and you will soon get cream. Faith is the milk, and full assurance is the cream upon it. When faith has stood long enough, you may see the rich cream of holy confidence on the top of it. Spurgeon, C. (2014). Spurgeon Commentary: 1 John. (E. Ritzema,…

Suppose there is a fire in the upper room of a house and the people gather in the street. A child is in the upper story; how is he to escape? He cannot leap down—he would be dashed to pieces. A strong man comes beneath, and cries, “Drop into my arms.” It is a part of faith to know that the man is there;…

See the blacksmith’s boy when he first tries to swing his father’s big hammer, how soon he gets tired. But ask the smith whether his arms ache. “Oh no!” he says, “I have made too many horseshoes for that.” Exercise has developed his muscles and strengthened his sinews to such an extent that the bringing…

In the olden time when the gospel was preached in Persia, Hamedatha, a courtier of the king, having embraced the faith, was stripped of all his offices, driven from the palace, and compelled to feed camels. This he did with great content. The king passing by one day saw his former favorite at his ignoble…

Had Abraham stopped in Ur of the Chaldees with his friends and rested there and enjoyed himself, where would his faith have been? He had God’s command to leave his country to go to a land that he had never seen, to sojourn there with God as a stranger, dwelling in tents, and in his obedience to that…

I would compare faith to an emperor who summoned his counselors and judged whether he should go to war by their opinion, but he did it in the following manner: if they warned him that it would be a very fearful war, if they said that the enemy’s cities would never be taken, that the armies on the other…

I saw one the other day who was about to suffer from the surgeon’s knife. It was a serious operation, about which all stood in doubt, but I was happy to see her as composed in the prospect of it as though it had been a pleasure rather than a pain. Thus calmly resigned should a Christian be. How many…

You know with what heart soldiers have trusted their commanders. They have gone into the fight and been outnumbered, but they have felt that their leader was so skillful in war, and so sure to win, that they have remained undaunted under terrible attacks, and their battalions have stood firm as iron…

The stupendous falls of Niagara have been spoken of in every part of the world. But while they are marvelous to hear of, and wonderful as a spectacle, they have been very destructive to human life when by accident any have been carried down the cataract.

Go into a telegraph office at any time, and you will see certain needles moving right and left with unceasing click. Electricity is a great mystery, and you cannot see or feel it, but the operator tells you that the electric current is moving along the wire. How does he know? “I know it by the needle.”…
