Where does a man begin cleansing and reforming? Why, in his own house, of course. He might perhaps feel that he must have some filth in the farmyard, but not in his own sitting room. There may be much evil abroad that he cannot remove, yet he can begin cleaning up at home. If we want to do any good in…

There are some who make a bad use of what ought to be a great blessing—namely, the printing press, and the printed sermon—by staying at home to read a sermon because, they say, it is better than going out to hear one. It is a bad example for a professing Christian to absent himself from the assembly…

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…

THE STORY I was born in 1725, and I died 1807. The only godly influence in my life, as far back as I can remember, was my mother, whom I had for only seven years.

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

But wait a minute—what if his parents don’t tell him to do the right things and don’t bring him up the…

STUNNED BY GRACE by Max Lucado I've never been surprised by God's judgment, but I'm still stunned by his grace. God's judgment has never been a problem for me. In fact, it always seemed right.
