John 6:68 says, “Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.” The hymn, “Wonderful Words of Life,” by Philip P. Bliss, written in 1874, was probably inspired by the words of Peter in our text, “Thou hast the words of eternal life.” Philip and his […]

Proverbs 15:11 states, “Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?” As a teenager, I heard an illustration in a sermon that I still remember. A carload of boys pulled into a filling station to get some gas. They were in a hilarious mood—maybe had

Proverbs 4:25 instructs, “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.” On a bright sunny day, I was riding along in a surrey with Gerald Zellmer, a good Christian friend and a good horse handler, when he handed the reins over to me. I did not know what to

I Kings 17:12 states, “And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we

Psalm 78:22-23 says, “Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,” I have traveled Interstate 84 from Pendleton to La Grande, Oregon many times.

Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” While riding in the back of a ’55 Ford pickup, standing on a row of bales, holding onto the cattle racks, and wielding a 12-gauge shotgun, it was my job to

Psalm 20: 1 says, “The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble: the name of the God of Jacob defend thee:” The very name of God is not only holy but powerful. From early Bible times the name “Yahweh” was held in high esteem. Men feared to write it, it was so sacred. It

I John 2:28 says, “And now little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” Pepsie was large, as far as dogs go. She was black with curly hair and had a little beard under her chin. (For awhile it was

II Chronicles 30:21 states, “And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord.” This is the last blog on the revival series. We have

II Chronicles 30:24 says, “For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.” As a boy I was riding with my grandpa on a backroad
