“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine”. John 17:9 Jesus was about to go through the greatest agony that anyone had ever endured. Though the physical agony would be terrible, it was the spiritual battle that would be the most … Continue reading Jesus Has Prayed For Us – 03.24.2024

He Is In Our Storms – 03.07.2024
Remember, Christ was tossed about by that storm on the sea, just as much as the disciples. It seems to me this incident is recorded to tell us that Christ is in every storm with those who have believed on Him. Being personally “touched by the feeling of our infirmities” means, He feels them because … Continue reading He Is In Our Storms – 03.07.2024
Exceeding Sorrowful – 08.30.2023
“My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death” (Matt 26:38). It is easy for us to talk about our sorrow, because we know that we can easily tell them all to Jesus. But in this Scripture, Christ is facing His death, and while going to prayer in Gethsemane Garden, He told his disciples of His sorrow. … Continue reading Exceeding Sorrowful – 08.30.2023
That First Lord’s Day – 07.16.2023
I wonder what it was like on that first Lord’s Day, when the disciples came together having learned their Lord was alive. How much excitement! What tremors of the flesh and spirit! Did they weep for joy? Were they emotional? Did they shout? It is hard now to place ourselves in that same position. I … Continue reading That First Lord’s Day – 07.16.2023
Who Is This King Of Glory? – 10.06.2022
For forty days following His resurrection, He stayed with His disciples, blessing and instructing them. Then it was time for Him to go home, to the Father's house. From Bethany, He led them forth to His chosen place for departure. There He blessed and gave His final instructions from the earth. While He was speaking, … Continue reading Who Is This King Of Glory? – 10.06.2022
Don’t Miss The Target – 07.28.2022
There is one thing that every human being knows - the fact that everyone is going to die. The smart, ignorant, educated, uneducated; all know this. Yet knowing this, most of us amble on through life without any positive plan as to what we want to do, be, or accomplish with our life. It is … Continue reading Don’t Miss The Target – 07.28.2022
Use Scripture To Convince Others Of Christ – 07.12.2022
“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:30,31). John wrote his epistle some years … Continue reading Use Scripture To Convince Others Of Christ – 07.12.2022
We Have Nothing To Give Them – 06.15.2022
Much of Christendom today is saying the same thing the disciples said to Jesus back when He would feed the multitudes. “There are too many of them and the need is so great, we have nothing to give them.” Boastfully, the Pope took Thomas Aquinas down to the vaults of the Vatican. When he had … Continue reading We Have Nothing To Give Them – 06.15.2022
The Lord’s Outline For Prayer – 03.08.2022
In school we were taught that when we wrote an article we should first write an outline. This would project continuity of thought and cause our writing to have harmony of thought. This is what the Lord’s prayer will do for us. It flows so beautifully from the opening word to the last. Christ did … Continue reading The Lord’s Outline For Prayer – 03.08.2022
Praying With Power – 03.04.2022
The disciples were not without the knowledge of prayer. The Jews were raised to pray as it was part of their daily routine. Also, they watched their religious leaders pray at the temple, in the streets, and the marketplace, using big words for others to see and with repetition to impress any hearers. Jesus said … Continue reading Praying With Power – 03.04.2022
