Would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? Luke 22:48 The kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Let me be on my guard when the world puts on a loving face, for it will, if possible, betray me as it did my Master, with a kiss. Whenever a man is about to stab religion, he usually professes very...

No, of course, we cannot command God. Tozer's point is much deeper and certainly applicable given the climate of the average pulpit today. Too many men, who are not God's men, stand behind the sacred desk today (my opinion). God give us men who are strong and of good courage! Men who eschew...

Pastoral Ministry: A New Type of Preacher But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.—Acts 20:24 If Christianity is to receive...

Friend, live near to the cross, and you will not sleep. Work hard to impress yourself with a deep sense of the value of the place to which you are going. If you remember that you are going to heaven, you will not sleep on the road. If you think that hell is behind you, and the devil pursuing...

Prayer makes the darken’d cloud withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love; Brings every blessing from above.

"Woe to the rebellious children," says the Lord, "who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin." —Isaiah 30:1 The continued neglect of the Holy Spirit by evangelical Christians is too evident to deny and impossible to justify.... It...

2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes (G3163). 2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive (G3164); but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 2Ti 2:25 In meekness instructing...
