When John Bunyan was a boy, he was so foolhardy that when a snake rose against him, he took it in his hand and plucked the sting out of its mouth, but he was not harmed. It was his turn to stand sentinel at the siege of Nottingham, and as he was going forth, another man offered to take his place. That…

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…

Trusting to our own judgment often means following our own whims. But faith seeks direction from infallible wisdom, and so it is led in a right way. God knows your capacity better than you do; ask Him to choose your inheritance for you. If the flowers were to revolt against the gardener, and each one…

CHILDREN: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut-up. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children. Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young. Children seldom misquote you. In fact,…

A famous preacher was to preach on a certain occasion, but he missed his way and was too late. The devil, knowing of it, put on the appearance of the minister, took his place, and preached a sermon to the people, who supposed they were listening to the famous preacher whom they had expected. The devil…

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…

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…

Colossians 4:5-6 5 When you are with unbelievers, always make good use of the time. 6 Be pleasant and hold their interest when you speak the message.

You may sometimes have seen a notice put up on certain estates in the country, “Mantraps and spring guns set here.” If so, did you ever go around to the front door of the mansion and say, “Will you tell me where the mantraps are, and whereabouts the spring guns are set?” If you had asked that question,…

The law had its uses, blessed uses. The law should be used for its own purposes, and then it is admirable, it is divine. Take it out of its own proper use, make it a master instead of being a servant, and it is something like fire, which in your grate will comfort you, but if it masters you, it burns…

When they bring out a new book to disprove Genesis, and another to evaporate the atonement, do not be afraid. As long as the gospel is in the world the devil will find somebody to write books against it. Take no notice of them; they cannot stand against facts. A philosopher once wrote a book to prove…

The denominations of the Christian church are very like the divisions of a plowed field by means of furrows that mark the surface, but the land remains to all intents and purposes one field. I do not speak of mere professing Christians, but truly spiritual people. Such are all one in Christ Jesus, and…

When a new road is opened, it is set apart and dedicated for the public use. Sometimes a public building is opened by a king or a prince, and so is dedicated to its purpose. Beloved, the way to God through Jesus Christ is dedicated by Christ, and ordained by Christ for the use of poor believing sinners…

On some of the old bricks of Egypt and of Babylon there has been found the mark of a dog’s foot. When the brick was made, while it was left to dry, the creature passed over it and left the imprint of its foot upon it. Now, thousands of years afterwards, when we pull down the wall we find the dog-mark.…

Nobody, I suppose, teaches the young mother how to manage her first child, and yet somehow or other it is done, because she loves it. It is wonderful to me how a widow with quite a swarm of children somehow provides for them. I cannot tell how, but the love she bears them leads her to make exertions…

Many Christians resemble the nautilus, which in fine smooth weather swims on the surface of the sea in a splendid little squadron, like the mighty ships. But the moment the first breath of wind ruffles the waves, they take in their sails and sink into the depths. Many Christians are the same. In good…

Along the coast, in certain places, there are no harbors. But in other spots, there are bays into which vessels run at once in the time of storm. Some men present an open natural harborage for people in distress. You love them instinctively, and trust them unreservedly. They, on their part, welcome your…

If you had to manage waterworks for the distribution of water all over this city, and there was a certain pipe into which you poured water, and none ever came out at the other end, do you know what you would do? You would take it out and say, “This does not suit my purpose. I want a pipe that will give…

A young minister had been preaching in a country village, and the sermon apparently took deep effect on the minds of the hearers. In the congregation there was a young man who felt acutely the truth of the solemn words to which the preacher had given utterance. He sought the preacher after the service,…

In his YouTube video “Knowing Your Why?” (8 minutes into the clip) Comedian Michael Jr. says “That thing from your past, you never met your Dad before, or your divorce, whatever it is God didn’t cause it, but he will use it in preparation for whatever he has you to do, because somebody may need to hear…
