This session provides a strategy for real-life conversations that allows the Christian to present a powerful apologetic (2 Cor. 10:4-5).

Occasionally one meets with an illiterate working man who will say to those whose occupation is mental, “I work hard for my living,” insinuating that the mind worker does not work at all. Yet I ask any man who is engaged in a mental pursuit whether he does not know that mental work is quite as real work—and…

Americans Believe in Heaven and Hell I believe John Lennon was wrong. I believe that heaven and hell are real places and that each of us will spend eternity in one place or the other. Interestingly, recent polls show that I'm not alone in that belief. A 1991 survey commissioned by U.S. News and World…

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…

When you know a man, if he is your intimate friend, you trust him, you love him, you esteem him, you are on speaking terms with him. You not only bow to him in the street, but you go to his house, you sit down with him at his table. At other times, you hold counsel with him, or you ask his assistance.…

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.…

The first covenant was typical and shadowy. It was but a school lesson for children. Just as we give to our boys models of churches or models of ships, so was the ceremonial law a model of good things to come, but it did not contain the things themselves. Christ is no surety of a mere model or pattern…

Suppose there is a fire in the upper room of a house and the people gather in the street. A child is in the upper story; how is he to escape? He cannot leap down—he would be dashed to pieces. A strong man comes beneath, and cries, “Drop into my arms.” It is a part of faith to know that the man is there;…

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…

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…

Faith is to believe what God says, to take it to be true, real, a matter of fact. Now when I believe what a man tells me, I do not say to myself, “Well, that is a piece of my creed now,” and then put it on the shelf and have done with it. A man tells me, for instance, in the middle of the night that…

I have sometimes thought of the contrast between the poor man’s funeral and the rich man’s funeral. When the poor man dies, his sons and daughters weep with real distress, for the death of the father brings sadness and sympathy into that house. The poor man is to be buried, but it can only be managed…

How to Abide and How to hear God’s will

Have you walked past a group of young people sitting at a coffee shop recently only to see all of them looking at their smartphones. They have gathered at a “third space” to hang out, but let their phones interfere with the people sitting around the table with them. If you have seen this, then you will…
