Reasons to Assemble Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 Recommended Reading Acts2:42-47 It is said that one Sunday, King Louis XIV of France arrived at his chapel for…

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. 'I've gone for 30 years now,' he wrote, 'and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think…

Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. James 2:18b Recommended Reading James 2:14-18 Ask the average man or woman on the street what the prerequisite for a person to go to heaven is, and the response you are likely to receive is that he or she must "be a good…

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…

See how everything that the apostle thought of was connected with Christ—how he had concentrated every passion, every power, every thought, every act, every word, and set the whole upon Christ. I believe that there are many who love Christ after a sort, just as the sun shines today; but you know if you…

I once saw a colonel shooting at a target. There were two targets near each other, and he hit the center of one of them. The attendant called out, “Which target was that gentleman shooting at?” “The one on the left,” was the answer. “I thought so,” said the man, “for he hit the one on the right.” There…

Changeable people cannot grow much. If you have a tree in your garden and plant it in one place today, and tomorrow place it somewhere else, how much bigger will it be in six months? It will be dead very likely. Or if it does not die, it will not be very much grown; it will be marvelously stunted. So…

“From the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born from Hebrews.” Paul shakes out the whole lot for the dogs, and is glad to be rid of it all for Christ’s sake. It reminds me of a ship in a storm. When the captain leaves the harbor he has a cargo on board of which he takes great care,…

I was speaking yesterday to a friend who had bought a pleasant house, with a large garden. He said to me, “I now feel as if I had a home. I have lived in London for years, and I have changed from one house to another with as little regret as a man feels in changing a bus; but I have always longed for…

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,…

Love is like a fire, which, if it does not consume more fuel, burns low. You cannot stop where you are; to retain you must annex. Napoleon used to say, “Conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me.” Christians, remember that you must advance or backslide. You must build higher and higher.…
