Drifting Away
"Therefore we ought to exceedingly devote ourselves to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should drift away." [Heb 2:1] As a boat without an anchor drifts; and as a car naturally loses alignment, so too are we without God’s word. In our verse for today we are admonished regarding the …
Sweet and Harmless Food
"The words of The LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." [Psa 12:6] Imagine yourself sitting with a ruler of this world, one of the great princes. You don’t know if he is for you or against you, who can tell what’s in his heart. And imagine …

Transforming Glory
In the millennium, When Jesus Reigns as King over the earth, and when He shepherds all that are His - those that He has saved from bondage and from darkness - they will feed like a flock in the pathways/roads and in the hills of the desert. Isaiah says, "That thou mayest say to the …
Expecting the End
For those of us who are Christians, we are sojourning in a strange land. That land is this world. It is good for us to keep in mind that this world is not our home. Just as the saints of old, "desire[ed] a better country, that is, an heaveny," [Heb 11:16] so we do as …
Fervent Devotion to Jesus
It is necessary for us to devote ourselves fervently to Jesus: to desire chiefly above all things Him, and to be hot/on fire/zealous for Him. The words of Jesus in Revelation 3 are very strong. Hey says, "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. …
