A simple Welsh friend believed that our Lord must have been a Welshman, “Because,” said he, “He always speaks to me in Welsh.” To me it has often seemed as if the well-beloved of my soul had been born in my native village, had gone to my school, and had passed through all my personal experiences, for…

Tapping into the Power of God, Max Lucado Part of the answer is illustrated in a story about a lady who had a small house on the seashore of Ireland at the turn of the century. She was quite wealthy but also quite frugal. The people were surprised, then, when she decided to be among the first to have…

God the Architect Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1a Recommend Reading Psalm 127 Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the twentieth century's most well-known architects, practiced "organic architecture" - designs that flow out of and reflect the context of their environment.…

We may not ask for any witness to begin with beyond the testimony of God, nor will any other witness be given. I charge you not to say, “I will believe in God when I obtain the inward witness.” No, you are bound to believe in God first, on the sure testimony of His Word. If you believe His Word you shall…

Her Majesty was on the south side of the water today, but she does not abide there. All the pomp and sunshine of her presence have vanished, and Westminster Bridge and Stangate are as they were before. The word of God sometimes comes with royal pomp into the minds of young men. They are affected by it…

Psalm 8 declares the greatness of God. Regardless of man’s inflated view of himself, God stands alone in His glorious splendor. He alone is Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, and the soon coming King of the Ages.

I knew a man who had lived a life of carelessness and indifference, with occasional outbursts of drunkenness and other vices. This man happened one day to hear a preacher say that if any man would ask anything from God, he would give it to him. The assertion was much too broad and might have done harm.…

O, prize the word written; prizing is the way to profiting. If Caesar so valued his commentaries that for preserving them he lost his purple robe, how should we estimate the sacred oracles of God? “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”—Thomas Watson, in The Morning Exercises.…

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. When she left my life through death, I was virtually an orphan. My father remarried, sent me to a strict military school, where the severity…

I have read that, when the people of the State of Massachusetts wanted a set of laws, and they had not time to make them just then, they passed a resolution that they would be governed by the laws of God until they had time to make better ones. We may believe the doctrines revealed in the Word of God…

In olden times, when men bought estates, it was customary for the seller to give to the purchaser a tuft of grass and a leaf from one of the trees on the land, signifying that the purchaser then had what was called seizin of the property. They were proofs that it belonged to him. When God gives true…

In a case that I remember the husband lived all his life indifferent to divine things, while the wife was an earnest Christian woman and saw all her children grow up in the ways of the Lord. The father lived unregenerate and died without giving any testimony of a change of heart. When our sister speaks…

Some time ago a town missionary had in his district a man who never would allow any Christian person to come into his house. The missionary was warned by many that he would get a broken head if he ventured on a visit. He therefore kept from the house, though it troubled his conscience to pass it by.…

The Word of God gets at the very marrow of our manhood; it lays bare the secret thoughts of the soul. It is “able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart.” Have you not often, in hearing the Word, wondered how the preacher could so unveil that which you had concealed? He says the very things…

This precious text is one which, years ago, when we built the Orphanage, I caused to be cut on one of the pillars of the entrance. You will notice it inside the first columns on either side whenever you go there. “My God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil…

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Romans 1:16 Recommend Reading Romans 10:8-13 The word "salvation" appears 162 times in the Bible (NKJV). In both the Old and the New Testaments, it conveys the idea of being saved from a terrible…

I remember reading, in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, the story of a man of God who was bound to a stake to die for Christ. There he was, calm and quiet, till his legs had been burned away, and the bystanders looked to see his helpless body drop from the chains. He was black as coal, and not a feature could…

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,…

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…

Fruit does not start from the tree perfectly ripe at once. First comes a flower, then a tiny formation that shows that the flower has set. Then a berry appears, but it is very sour. You may not gather it. Leave it alone a little while, and allow the sun to ripen it. By and by it fills out, and you have…
