The feather flies in the wind, but it has no inherent power to move. Consequently, when the gale is over it falls to the ground. Such is the religion of excitement. But the eagle has life within itself, and its wings bear it aloft and onward whether the breeze favors it or not—such is religion when sustained…

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.

There is no use in mere formality. If your religion is without spiritual life, what is the use of it? Could you ride home on a dead horse? Would you hunt with dead dogs? Would anyone like to go into battle with a pasteboard helmet? When the sword fell on it, what use would such a helmet be? In the depth…

~~~ 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…

There were two brothers, one of whom had been diligently attentive to his worldly business, to the neglect of true religion. He succeeded in accumulating considerable wealth. The other brother was diligent in the service of the Master, and had learned both to distribute to the poor and for conscience’s…

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…

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, just maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts are wrong! "Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants." - William Penn

I have heard of a woman who was condemned to death in the Marian days. Before her time came to be burned a child was born to her, and she cried out in her sorrow. A wicked adversary who stood by said, “How will you bear to die for your religion if you make such ado?” “Ah,” she said, “Now I suffer in…

The form of godliness without the power is not worth the trouble it takes to put it together and keep it together. Imitation jewels are pretty and brilliant, but if you take them to the jeweler he will give you nothing for them. There is a religion that is all paste gems—a godliness that glitters but…

You say that he is “a rewarder of those who seek him”; do you despise the reward? Are you content with having made a profession of religion? Some professing Christians remind me of the reply of the child who was asked at the Sunday school about her father, who never went to any place of worship. “Is…

The birds go flying through the orchard, and they do not say a word to one another till they come to a cherry tree where the cherries are very sweet and ripe. Then they all fall to at once and begin to peck away with all their might. So nobody says much of an ordinary Christian who is doing little for…

To have the form of godliness without the power of it is to lack constancy in your religion. It is a very hot and thirsty day, and you are riding on a camel. Suddenly there rises before you a beautiful scene. Just a little way from you are brooks of water flowing between beds of osiers and banks of reeds…

I have heard of a naturalist who thought himself exceedingly wise with regard to the natural history of birds. Yet he had learned all he knew in his study, and had never so much as seen a bird either flying through the air or sitting upon its perch. He was a fool, although he thought himself exceedingly…

In the night skies there had long been observed bright masses of light. The astronomers supposed them to be stores of unfashioned chaotic matter—until William Herschel’s telescope resolved them into distinct stars. What the telescope did for stars, the religion of Christ, when received into the heart,…

Suppose a corpse is before us. How great a pretender would he be who should boast that it was in his power to restore it to life! Certainly, it would be even a greater pretense if anyone should say that he could give to himself or to another the divine life, the spiritual life by which a man is made…

One reason God has a poor people is so that He may display more the power of His comforting promises and the supports of the gospel. “There,” says the architect, “this building is strong.” Yes, but it must be tested: Let the wind blow against it. There is a lighthouse out at sea, but it is a calm night—I…

There lived some few years ago in Perugia, in Italy, a man of the loosest morals and the worst conceivable disposition. He had given up all religion, he loathed God, and had arrived at such a desperate state of mind that he had conceived an affection for the devil, and endeavored to worship the evil…

A young minister had been preaching in a country village, and the sermon apparently took deep effect on the minds of the hearers.

Since 2011, there have been 64,000 Australians report that “Jedi,” is their religion when taking the census.

We often hear those opposed to religion make comments like “religion has been the cause of more wars that have killed more people than all other causes.” It is a way they argue against the church or anything Christian.
