“WHILE SLEEPING CARELESS on the brink of an eternal woe…” wrote Bro. Warner, describing how the love of Jesus had awakened him just in time to rescue him from eternal destruction. On the brink of woe–what a place to sleep! It brings to mind the picture of a

 [Twenty] centuries have now passed away since God sent forth a few Jews from a remote corner of the earth, to do a work which, according to man’s judgment, must have seemed impossible. He sent them forth at a time when the whole world was full of superstition,

Man’s existence: Think about it for a moment. Here on earth, the measure of his existence is scripturally described as an “handbreadth” or a “vapor,” and the rapidity of its flight as “swifter than a weaver’s shuttle” or “as a tale that is told.” At its very longest

Atheism, like all worldviews, has consequences. Worldviews have destinations. They are courses that carry us on to some arrival point, whether that point is good or bad. Therefore, the most important question in life that we could ask ourselves is, “Where is my worldview taking me?” What does

Dawn came slowly, illuminating the world with the morning’s first rays. But the golden gleams could not diffuse the darkness I felt. I knew morning had come and I must face another day. But still, I nestled myself deeper into the blanket and closed my eyes, wishing I

Skeptics seek to discredit the Bible as a divine revelation. This they do for they are loathe to believe in the existence of a God requiring their obedience, else how can they sin with impunity? Time magazine stated that “Atheists can’t wait to prove the whole thing is

THIS WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN. So long has it stood upended that by now seemingly every drop of moral common sense has drained from it. A recent article in the National Post exploring the debate surrounding population control and its potential effect on the current climate “crisis” bears

THOU SHALT SURELY DIE – this promise to our fallen parents Adam and Eve has been inherited by every human born since that time. Sin’s entrance into the world brought death upon all; each new life is stained by its indelible mark, in both a physical and spiritual

Jacob had gotten himself into a mess. His brother, he had felt, was about to claim a blessing that belonged justly to him. And so he had gotten in his brother’s way. He had lied and cheated Esau, but he had not seen it as cheating because the

SOCIETY HAS TAUGHT US THAT liberty is the freedom of choice regarding our own lives. Any restraints on that freedom is regarded as oppression. Thus, a liberated child will not only have the choice of what he would like to eat for breakfast and what clothes he would

IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT THE truth be known concerning global warming. The matter is exceedingly more urgent than what the media sources are reporting, and the effects will be far more catastrophic. I report to you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that planet Earth is

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1. This was the first evil suggestion recorded. From

Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not.” Mark 10:14. Laud the beautiful innocence of uncorrupted youth! Precious children who come from their mother’s womb aglow with the light of Jesus Christ (John 1:9). Cursed be the world that sets upon their

You try on a coat. If you do not like it, you need not buy it. You try a type of beverage. If you are not satisfied with the product, there is a money-back guarantee written on the paper cover. You try out a particular sewing machine model.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” Isaiah 5:20-21 Eve, after

“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.” Psalm 127:4. OH, THE POSSIBILITIES POSSESSED BY YOUTH! What zeal, what vivacity, what passion lies in the bosom of the young! Feeling themselves unconquerable, they face seemingly unsurmountable obstacles with optimism and

The old serpent is a sorcerer and has been so from the beginning. Back in the garden, Adam and Eve were beguiled by his allurements. Down through time, many have been fascinated by his enchantments. And, alas, men are still captivated by the serpent’s spell in our day.

There is a prevailing notion, especially in the western world today, that mankind has outgrown the Bible. The idea is that scientific discoveries and man’s intellect have progressed to such an extent that we are no longer in need of faith in God to explain our existence, the

“And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” Luke 18:39. The moment a soul begins seeking God, fierce opposition arises. No move towards truth is uncontested, not an

“What a waste!” is the indignant outcry evoked by the careless and unnecessary squandering of goods, money, and natural resources. It is a justified outcry, for wastefulness, by definition, is a “voluntary loss,” and the mind frame behind this “throw-away” philosophy is a damaging one. Albeit, at least

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”   2 Corinthians 5:10 A notice, a summons to a court case. A court case

A barefoot woman, in the cold and pouring rain, climbs Croagh Patrick in Ireland. A man on his death bed desperately calls for his parish priest to perform Extreme Unction. A couple presses money into the hand of a priest, earnestly asking him to say Mass for a

WHAT LIES BEYOND THE GRAVE? This has been a universal question through the ages. Throughout the history of mankind, the question has received a host of varied answers. Ancient civilizations often believed the deceased lingered on as spirits and influenced the affairs of the living. The Egyptians decorated

Not one of us is staying here forever. No matter how strong we feel or how full of hope and life, we know that we must one day leave this earth. Perhaps we will live a few more years, perhaps we will even grow old, but what then?

“Give me children, or else I die.” Genesis 30:1. This was the cry of Rachel, the an­guish of the barren. It is the deep, primal yearning for motherhood, the cry of every woman who has natural affection. It is the cry of the true bride of Christ today.

Abortion, suicide, euthanasia. Society has reduced human life to a material, disposable commodity, as though mankind were constituted of merely tissues, bones, and atoms. And, under the spell of humanist dogma, society’s masters have the mass­es believing that this is the better way; a way of re­spect for

In business, it is necessary to understand the relation­ship between the possible price of a product in accor­dance with the demand of said product. We find that people are willing to pay the asking price, provided they perceive a need for the product. The higher the per­ception of

“Ask…the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee” Job 12:7. The year 2018 has been named the Year of the Bird. Shall we take a little time to consider these fascinating crea­tures with their amazing mental, physical, and in­stinctive abilities? Was it mere chance and nothing

Mankind is not always good to its own. In fact, the historical record is a grievous attestation to its atrocities. Hitler’s Germany is but one example. A “superior race” wants to cleanse itself of a “degenerate race.” Others think in terms of white and black races, etc. But,

Although the United States spends more money per student than any other country, the money has failed to produce an academically advanced nation. PISA, one of the biggest cross-national tests, tested the academic levels of 15-year-olds among many different countries in 2015. Out of 71 countries, the U.S.

In all ages and around the globe, man has had some concept of God. However twisted that concept may have been in all its forms, men have had an inward sense of knowing that they are accountable to someone. Someone is more powerful than they are; someone controls

“For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:18 Earth–unique, amazing…home! There

I used to be an atheist. No, not the kind of “atheist” that exhausts him­self trying to disprove God. You know that kind. The ones that leave Santa alone because they know he doesn’t exist, but spend their lives debating about God who they think doesn’t exist. That

Sorrow. Pain. Suffering. All have experienced the meaning of these words. With much pain do we en­ter this world and with pain do we get old and die. Everywhere around us, suffering is evident. We see it in the eyes of the children who call a sidewalk their

“Science, you might say, has discovered that our existence is infinitely improbable, and hence a miracle.”   John Horgan, science journalist “An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to

I feel a certain pity for the youth of this generation. Many of the challenges they face did not exist in prior generations. Their hurts arrive at a younger age, and their distresses arise from a greater variety of sources. Childhood is now too often not as carefree

In Titus 2:3-5, the apostle Paul instructs the older women to teach the younger women to be “keepers at home.” How can the home be kept when the mother is gone most of the time? When the mother fulfills her God-given role, she is foundational in the building

One of the most emotional and contentious issues facing women of our day is the issue of abortion. Governments are involved, public opinion is being swayed to be either “pro-choice” or “pro-life.” Personal decisions are made every day concerning abortion. Perhaps you are in the very throes of

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” 1 Peter 2:9. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,

Am I wasting my time? Wasn’t I made for bigger things? Perhaps any mother has at some moment had such a question presented to her mind, especially in a society that doesn’t view washing dishes, combing hair, changing diapers, scrubbing laundry, or bringing up children as notable achievements.
