Loving Kindness And Tender Mercies
“And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper … Read More >

Where To Go With Doubts
A New Name for an Age-Old Problem: Deconstruction: Abandoning the Faith About ten years ago, a new term slipped into everyday Christian vocabulary: deconstruction. As we know, construction means to build something; and so, understandably, deconstruction refers to tearing something down. In our social media age, the word is frequently used for those who are abandoning the Christian faith. Those of us who are older remember when we called it “backsliding,” which meant leaving your Christian beliefs and lifestyle and choosing to be absorbed into the world. The word backsliding is used multiple times in the Old Testament when the … Read More >

God's Jewels
Delivered at the Bible Conference at Cedar Lake last summer [1916] by Rev. Charles Inglis of London, England. “And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels.”—Malachi 3:17 You know the meaning of the word Malachi. It means “the messenger of Jehovah.” And what a God-sent message this must have been to Israel in their departure from Him! “You shall be mine, in that day when I make up my jewels.” An old writer that lived about four hundred years ago said this about jewels: They were procured at a … Read More >

Greater Grace Or The Believer's Unfailing Supply
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” —2 Corinthians 9:8 Peter writes about “exceeding great and precious promises” by which we are made partakers of the divine nature. I think the text we have chosen surely comes under that classification. Not only have we great promises, but they are exceeding great and exceeding precious. The saints who are growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth see more and more as the days go by the perfectness and greatness … Read More >

Self Will Or God's Will
(Helpful to Sunday School Lesson of May 9, 1920, 1 Samuel 4:5–18) “The ark of the Lord was come into the camp.” The Lord was revealing Himself to Samuel in Shiloh, where was the ark of the Lord. The sons of Eli had cut off the presence of God and the vision of God. Samuel had arisen as the known and accepted prophet of God, and manifestations of the presence of God were again taking place in Shiloh. The Philistines were arrayed against all Israel, the Israelites were losing, and, knowing of the power in the ark of God, and … Read More >

Broken Fellowship
“Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it...supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey.” —Luke 2:43–44 This is a precious portion of Scripture, if for no other reason than that it furnishes the only bit of authentic information concerning the life of Jesus from his infancy to the beginning of His ministry. Sometimes we refer to “the eighteen silent years” of His life, but as a matter of fact, apart from the record of this one event, there are thirty silent years. Probably all of us have been more … Read More >

The Unchanging Christ
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8 The verse which precedes our text reads: “Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.” Then comes this sentence: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” He is the end of all their conversation. This word “conversation” takes in two great principles, the idea of talking and the thought of what folks are. This is the consummation of the living of those who have preached the Gospel; this is … Read More >

Pleasing God
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” —Hebrews 11:5–6 Let me say, before I attempt to speak to you on this subject, that I believe the man who lives so as to please God makes the very best possible out of his life, … Read More >

Canaan Land
God’s plan was to get his people into the land of Canaan. He never wanted them to die in the wilderness and have to come through the Jordan again, which was typical of another water crossing. So many people think that crossing the Jordan is typical of coming into the fulness of the Holy Spirit and forget that there are two types, because the parents came through the Red Sea and the children there in the wilderness had never been through the Red Sea. God had to take them through Jordan. The experience of the fulness of the Holy Spirit … Read More >

What Have You Done With Jesus' Clothes?
“And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.” —Mark 15:24 The Roman soldiers at the foot of the cross of Calvary, shook dice to see which was the lucky man to win the different garments of the crucified Christ. You must remember that God has garments, that God has clothed Himself as with a garment. To God the sun is a sparkling gem upon His finger, the stars are wonderful pearls about his neck, the Earth covered with its vegetation and water is but the garment that God slips … Read More >
