As I look back over my life, I can’t think of any good reason why God would be interested in taking me to His Heaven. I may have preached thousands of sermons, counseled many people, and led many to Christ. I have built several church facilities and received many into membership. All these things, along … Continue reading The Hope Of Heaven Is This Transaction – 07.01.2026

Declare That The Lord Is Our God! – 06.30.2026
“The Lord is our God”(II Chron. 13:10). So spoke the man of Judah to the people of Israel, for Jeroboam had set up golden calves in parts of Israel for them to worship. We can say the same thing to the worldling who makes a god of his wealth, rank, or position in life, and … Continue reading Declare That The Lord Is Our God! – 06.30.2026
O, To Be Numbered With The Righteous! – 06.29.2026
“For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield” (Ps. 5:12). How important to be numbered with the righteous! Have you embraced the righteousness of Christ for your justification? Are you daily pleading with God for your sanctification? Do you prize the honor of Jesus and … Continue reading O, To Be Numbered With The Righteous! – 06.29.2026
How Long, O Lord? – 06.28.2026
Oh Lord! We read of a time when You will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God. The dead shall be raised incorruptible, and the living changed. Accordingly, we shall be called up to meet You in the air. The Church has been preaching … Continue reading How Long, O Lord? – 06.28.2026
New Wineskins Filled With New Wine – 06.27.2026
In Mark 2:22, Jesus said, “No man putteth new wine into old wineskins.....” Did the Pharisees get His meaning? I doubt it. What He was saying is "Your old wineskins can’t hold this new message."New wine requires new containers. They hated Him because He brought new wineskins filled with new wine. The Gospel of grace … Continue reading New Wineskins Filled With New Wine – 06.27.2026
No Gardener Was Ever So Attentive – 06.26.2026
“He (God) shall come unto us as the rain” (Hos. 6:3). No gardener was ever so attentive to a delicate and favorite plant. He visits, He watches, He supplies. He studies our wants, provides for them, and imparts what He provides. He says, “I will water every moment.” Then the supply will be constant, in … Continue reading No Gardener Was Ever So Attentive – 06.26.2026
We Bring Forth Fruit To His Praise – 06.25.2026
“I am the vine, ye are the branches” (John 15:5). Jesus often uses nature to illustrate grace. Here He compares Himself to the vine and His people to the branches, describing the union that exists between them. The whole tree depends on one root, and the whole church depends on the Lord Jesus. All saving … Continue reading We Bring Forth Fruit To His Praise – 06.25.2026
Our Mourning Season Will Soon Be Over – 06.24.2026
“The days of thy mourning shall be ended” (Isa. 60:20). Here on earth we have much to cause us to mourn. The state of the world and of the church. Things in the domestic life and the deep depravity of our own hearts. The temptations and fiery darts of Satan. The losses, crosses, and privations … Continue reading Our Mourning Season Will Soon Be Over – 06.24.2026
O LORD, You Are My God – 06.23.2026
“O LORD, thou art my God” (Isa. 25:1). This is the greatest thing anyone can say. If the Lord is our God, we ought to be happy. Of course, there was a time when we did not know Him, neither did we pursue Him. The Holy Spirit pursued us, reproving us of sin, righteousness, and … Continue reading O LORD, You Are My God – 06.23.2026
God Is Good! – 06.22.2026
The rich young ruler came running to Christ and said, “Good Master what must I do…?” Jesus said, “Why do you call me good, there is none good but God?” I heartily agree with this statement that "God Is Good"! It is the very nature of God to be good! This goodness is born out … Continue reading God Is Good! – 06.22.2026
