Our missionary friends share this story with us from the mission fields of India. The missionary/pastor led a would-be magician to Jesus Christ. This ex-would-be magician now a Christian witnessed to the Master Magician (MM) about Jesus Christ. The MM is now a seeker after God and reader of the Bible. The MM sends all […]
“NOT EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR PROBLEMS AND FAILURES.” “NOT EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL GREATLY STRENGTHENS THE DEVIL, WHILE EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL GREATLY WEAKENS THE DEVIL.” “IN 1776 AMERICA CONQUERED HER FATHERS. IN 1862 AMERICA CONQUERED HER BROTHERS. IN 2009, AMERICANS HAVE NOT YET CONQUERED THEMSELVES.”
“SIN WILL NOT LEAVE MAN UNTIL MAN IS DETERMINED TO LEAVE SIN.” “THE CONDITION OF MAN’S HEART IS SHOWN MORE BY ONE SIN THAT HE LOVES AND HOLDS DEAR THAN BY TWENTY SINS THAT HE HATES AND REJECTS.”
“NO ONE IS SO BAD AS THE DEVIL, AND NOTHING IS SO BAD AS A LIE.” “EVEN AS NOTHING IS SO ENCOURAGING AND REFRESHING TO THE HUMAN EYE AS LIGHT, SO NOTHING IS AS EMPOWERING ANDLIBERATING TO THE HUMAN MIND AS TRUTH.”
There is never more than enough time, in case you haven’t noticed! There is no excess, never a surplus. Even at its longest, time seems never to be long enough. It flies by, and cannot be stopped. Once it is gone, it has slipped away forever. It cannot be recaptured. It never stands still, for […]

Wouldn’t you just know it? It was bound to happen. We are getting a brand new Bible (very loosely used) translation in the very near future. It is scheduled to come out in the spring of 2009, though you can find the Book of Genesis already previewed on the internet. However, don’t get all that […]
We are compelled to ask a most pointed and pressing question these days, “What does it mean anymore to be a “Christian Believer?” A really volatile question today I tell you. One of the hottest issues going! What determines whether a person in the 21st century is a believer or an unbeliever? It is an […]
I do not have the space to illustrate all of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Just a few examples are in order. I hope and pray that you will find them as inspirational and helpful as I do. Biblical Christianity has, is and always will be made up of Divine truth and miracle. If […]
Allow me to preface this very important teaching by saying that not all tradition is bad. Some traditions are Biblical and therefore very good. Tradition is a Biblical word that comes from the Greek paradosis which means handing down. There is so much paradosis in my church and family history that has been handed down […]

6. THE MIRACLE GOD AND HUMAN MISERY As the world’s population has mushroomed to well over 6 billion earthlings, the world’s suffering has grown proportionately. Plagues and famine are killing millions. We hear of earthquakes around the world that near and even exceed the 7.0 mark on the Richter scale. Tens of thousands lose their […]
