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 >

Promises That Never Fail
This past year has been a difficult one and a demanding one for many people. Here we are, starting a new year, and perhaps wondering just what lies before us. It seems that so many things we used to depend on are no longer dependable. The very foundations of life are shaking. How easy it would be to throw up our hands and just give in; but we know that giving up never made any situation better. I think the answer to the problems of life today are found in some of the things that never shake and that never … Read More >

Peace Paid For
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” —1 Thessalonians 5:23 “And the very God of peace”—He is the Lord of hosts, He is the God of creation, He is the God of love; and this verse says that He is the “very God of peace.” There is no wrangle in heaven, Hallelujah. There is no misunderstanding in heaven, there is no friction in heaven—He is the very God of peace. As surely as when there is … 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 >

Claiming Our Inheritance
“Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children’s forever, because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God. Lo, I am this day four score and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me, as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day.”—Joshua 14:9–12 Now , that is the history of God’s dealings with the … Read More >
