“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you.”—Matthew 5:11. Ever since his fall, Satan has worked by means of deception. As he has misrepresented God, so, through his agents, he misrepresents the children of God. The Saviour says, “The reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon Me.”...

I would hope that the two lumps of coal list is very small.

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”—Matthew 5:10. Jesus does not present to His followers the hope of attaining earthly glory and riches, and of having a life free from trial, but He presents to them the privilege of walking...

We taught our kids that Santa was a traditional game that some parents played with their children and it was a good idea not to try to explain this to other kids. No problem with the two older ones, but the baby went to the mall with her grandma, had here picture taken with Santa, brought her...

Nah, I’m just an old man.

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”—Matthew 5:9. Christ is “the Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6), and it is His mission to restore to earth and heaven the peace that sin has broken. “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus...

Here is a place I had forgotten about in North Carolina. Field of the Woods, my grandmothers and many relatives are Pentecostal but I am not. This however is a nice place to visit if you pass through the area.

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”—Matthew 5:8. The Jews were so exacting in regard to ceremonial purity that their regulations were extremely burdensome. Their minds were occupied with rules and restrictions and the fear of outward defilement, and they did not perceive...

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”—Matthew 5:7. The heart of man is by nature cold and dark and unloving; whenever one manifests a spirit of mercy and forgiveness, he does it not of himself, but through the influence of the divine Spirit moving upon his heart. “We love...

Where does the Bible say a word about computers? The secret rapture theory is an evolution of the writings of a Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera who developed his theory to camouflage the Roman Catholic Church as the antichrist. His satanic lies were picked up by the Plymouth Brethern and...

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”—Matthew 5:6. Righteousness is holiness, likeness to God, and “God is love.” 1 John 4:16. It is conformity to the law of God, for “all Thy commandments are righteousness” (Psalm 119:172), and “love is...

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”—Matthew 5:4. The mourning here brought to view is true heart sorrow for sin. Jesus says, “I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.” John 12:32. And as one is drawn to behold Jesus uplifted on the cross, he...

[Heb 10:22-25 KJV] 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;) 24 And let us...

The Beatitudes “He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”—Matthew 5:2, 3. As something strange and new, these words fall upon the ears of the wondering multitude. Such teaching is contrary to all they have ever heard...
