The Bible expresses such profound truths in such simple ways that we read them and think we already know this truth, when in reality we do not know what we know! If these words intrigue you, then permit me to use God’s simply words to illustrate this. I vividly recall an experience from our early days in New Zealand in 1962. As…

In Paul’s letter to Rome, he uses an interesting phrase. He said, “Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand” (Rom. 13:11-12). Contextually, he may have not been talking about their…

There are paragraphs in the Bible which as we read we understand, but when we read them more carefully there are profound truths we may have overlooked. This is true of Hebrews chapter nine.

Then he met Brenda and through her he met Jesus. His life was changed eternally by Christ. They devoted their lives working with those in the local jails and hundreds were changed,…

He had no idea how he spoke to his family, and the attitude shown by his words was impacting his wife and kids. He would never curse or use profanity, but the tone in what he said really hurt. His wife wondered how to deal with this. So, she secretly recorded what he was saying, and then let him hear the impact…

It goes without saying—I know very little about having a mudpack on one’s face, hoping it will make them more beautiful. I just asked Google what this would cost and learned that they can cost from $35 to $200. Have you considered that God once told His people of His plan to give them a “mudpack” facial? If not, keep reading this…
