And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). Romans 8:28 is a much quoted verse in Christian ranks. However, many people want only good things to work out. Truthfully, that just is not real life. Bad…

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines…

For I am the Lord, I do not change…(Malachi 3:6). Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away(Matthew 24:35). As we just passed the twenty-second anniversary of 9-11, we have to admit that things really changed that day. Our sense of safety and invincibility took a tremendous hit when that…

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord (Psalm 27: 13-14). God’s goodness! It is easy to see God’s goodness in…

Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this…
