We have a revival in my church at Portland, Oregon. I have seen hundreds of people come to the Lord during the past six weeks. I do not feel a bit strange this morning because we are going to have a revival here today. All my concern is that I, with you, should get where the Lord can save the people, and you know where that place is that we must get in order to have Him save the people. That place is down out of sight. I getting stirred up myself will not do anything. And you stirring up …
I will be delighted to see Paul when Jesus comes and we all get together around Him. I can’t blame a Jew for wanting to see Abraham, because he was God’s chosen vessel to start things for the Jew, but a Christian I am sure is more interested in seeing the man Jesus picked as a choice one through whom He especially sent His Gospel to the Gentiles. Jesus speaking to Ananias in a vision said, “He is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: for I will …
Romans 14:12—“So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
Some one is saying now that the preacher is going to give us some death-bed talks—he is going to try to scare us with death. No, I am not. I do not believe so many are afraid of death as they are afraid to meet God. There is not a man or woman in this audience who does not believe that some day he must stand before God and give account of himself, but if you thought you were going to die you would immediately …
“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”—Exodus 12:13
My friends, it was the blood that did it. Just so it is now. God says, “When I see the blood I will pass over you. The blood shall be a token unto you.” And I tell you, my friends, the greatest question that can be before you tonight is this: Have you got …
“And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit: and having said thus, He gave up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous Man. And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their …
The whole emphasis of the New Testament concerning Christian experience is that “Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by Him.” In other words, a personal interview with Him is essential for salvation. He came to reveal the Father, and that revelation shines out most clearly at the Cross. It is there we must meet Him. For it is not by the example of His life, but by the Atonement of His death that we may become Christians. There are many different paths and experiences which bring us to Him, …
It is a source of great comfort to turn to the Bible and discover that all through history men of God, venturing upon service for God, have been confronted with the very same problems as we face today. Here Nehemiah, unmistakably called and commissioned to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, having secured an army of willing helpers, now finds himself faced with discouragement of every kind.
The opposition of Sanballat, Tobiah and Geshem, who have already launched their campaign of hate, has been faced realistically. The people have a mind to work, a heart to pray, an eye to watch. …
“There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless, and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, according to the custom of the priest’s office, …
“They overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”—Revelation 12:11
Notes of a message given by Pastor Alan Redpath in The Moody Church on Sunday, December 19, 1954.
Amidst the world-struggle for survival, it is important that we should understand the real nature of the battle in which we, as Christians, are engaged. Paul said in Ephesians 6:12, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” I am not sure if we have begun …
“Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.”—Isaiah 50:10-11
These words come to us at the conclusion of a wonderful presentation of our Lord Jesus Christ as seen through prophetic …
