  • COMPLAINTS

    Connect The TestamentsIsaiah 44:1–45:13; Luke 17:11–18:8; Job 10:1–10 Complaining can be automatic. We complain about the weather, our children, our jobs.

We assume that…

  • A UNIQUE BLENDING OF THE FOUR GOSPELS

    JESUS CHRIST THE GREATEST LIFE PUBLISHER’S NOTE This work began nearly 2,000 years ago when the Holy Spirit inspired four different individuals to write about the life of Jesus Christ, addressing four different audiences for four different purposes.

  • THE WORLD PASSETH AWAY

He laid upon his family the dying command, that the same message should be handed down to the next generation, and from that to…

  • INSTEAD OF ME

    MANY years ago, I was walking with a friend along the pleasant banks of a Scottish river, in one of the early months of summer, when the trees had just begun to show their fresh verdure and to offer us a shade from the sun. A man in rags came up to us begging. We…

  • HOW SHALL I GO TO GOD?

    IT is with our sins that we go to God, for we have nothing else to go with that we can call our own. This is one of the lessons that we are so slow to learn; yet without learning this we cannot take one right step in that which we call a religious life.…
