John 9:4 says, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” Many great works have been done by men that worked day and night to accomplish them. I am reminded of the Battle of Trenton. After leaving Valley Forge on Christmas […]

Luke 24:49 states, “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Last Sunday, the preacher preached on the power of prayer. He used the Scripture that says to ask, seek, and knock. He mentioned how

Psalm 119:11 states, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Some believe this psalm was written by David. It certainly reflects his life. The question I am looking at today is; can we get the Word into our heart? And more specifically, have we done that? In

Mark 13:29 says, “So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.” When I first felt called to preach the gospel as a teenager, my pastor, Carl Lindbloom, took me under his wing and tried to encourage me. One day he

Mark 4:3 says, “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow.” You may think that I don’t know how to spell “sewing machine.” I not only know how to spell it, I know how to run one. I’m talking about a machine that sows wheat—they’re mostly called “drills.” Millions of acres have been sown

John 16:33 says, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” The life of Charles Lindbergh is quite interesting. He loved to fly. Though he was the first man to fly across

Matthew 17:27 says, “…go thou to the sea, and cast an hook…” I have heard a lot of fish stories. One of my favorites—true story—was about the evangelist who was holding revival services in a small town. This preacher was an avid fisherman. His name was Ron. My understanding was that he bragged a little

Matthew 6:20 says, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” I remember a Donald Duck cartoon where someone asked Donald’s Uncle Scrooge if he had any hobbies. He said, “Yes, I collect coins.” The next cartoon caption showed

Acts 4:33 says, “…and great grace was upon them all.” Today grace is an overused word. Churches often use grace as part of their name. Finding myself a little confused about the word, I went to the dictionary. Webster gives 12 different meanings. The first definition is “Favor, kindness, mercy.” We might ask ourselves: “What

1 Corinthians 12:31 says, “But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.” The “way” that Paul is talking about is charity. Some translations use the word “love” instead of charity. This is actually more confusing. Love has a number of different meanings; charity is more specific. It
