Sometimes I stand in awe of how clearly and simply God reveals truth to us and how often we fail to see it. God loves us so much that He gave His Son to save us, and He is not trying to make the path to heaven hidden in some mystical way. He gives us deep, profound truth about so many things,…

In Paul’s description of the fact that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, there is a truth that can so easily be overlooked. We read his words and compare ourselves to the wealth of those in Palm Beach and then conclude that what is said has little to do with us. Look at the context of…

It was two weeks ago that we spent time looking at Paul and his love for the lost. That article ended with a long list that showed his heart when he established the church in Thessalonica. The last paragraph indicated we would write more later. Paul’s life imitated the life of Jesus, and Paul encouraged others to do likewise (1 Cor. 11:1).…

He and Silas had just been dragged into the marketplace, brought before the magistrates who ripped their garments off of them and publicly beaten them with rods, and they received many stripes. They were thrown into jail where they could hardly move because their feet were…

The wisest man of the Old Testament, Solomon, said, “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (12:14). That phrase, “every secret thing,” when fully understood, will change your life. It will…
