Offer Them That Bread Of Heaven – 03.15.2024

The Lord, so to speak, gathered the four thousand souls, and laid the responsibility of feeding them upon the Apostles. He as much said, “You feed them.” They exclaimed, “Us!

Living Under Condemnation – 02.17.2024

In my pastorates, I saw Christians who were always living under condemnation. Almost any sermon would bring them to the altar, where they wept with their face buried in their hands. Paul relates his bondage while trying to live by the law. (Romans 7). Some today are still in bondage to the law, so they … Continue reading Living Under Condemnation – 02.17.2024 →

Think About Heaven – 01.09.2024

We ought to think about Heaven far more than we do. Saints should rejoice because their names are written in Heaven, and think much about the joy that is in Heaven over one sinner that repents.

A Spirit Out Of Harmony – 10.07.2023

A spirit out of harmony with God can never enjoy the fruits of His love, such as joy and peace. Such a person will be ill at ease, fearful, and suspicious of any action God may take, even being where His presence is manifest. One whose heart is in harmony with God will run to … Continue reading A Spirit Out Of Harmony – 10.07.2023 →

When We Can’t Rejoice – 09.05.2023

“My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation” (Psalm 13:5). We can rejoice in our salvation when we can't rejoice in anything else. Today may be gloomy, both emotionally and spiritually.

Our Hope… Heaven – 03.15.2023

“The hope which is laid up for you in heaven…” (Col. 1:5). Let’s take a good look at this place! Our hope is there, in the Father’s house, the place of many mansions.
