Knowing Your Father's God 27:01

11M ago27:01

27:01

There are men and women that I have studied that lift me up from within, when I think of their faith and courage. We have read of them. We know of their names. We are familiar with their stories. Yet, comparatively little is said of the ordinary saints whose prayers, lives, and instruction shaped these men and women so mightily used of God. We admi…

Love For The Father 26:59

11M ago26:59

26:59

Near the start of Jesus’ public ministry, He says these words: “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” (John 4:34). As Jesus ministry continued it becomes evident that the work of the Father is wrapped up with His death on the cross. In John’s Gospel particularly the chief reason that Jesus completes this work is be…

Smelling Bad and Looking Dumb 27:00

12M ago27:00

27:00

There is something in the American air today that most of us have never smelled before. For example, just a few years ago, almost everyone understood that males use the men’s room, females the women’s. Now, confusion is in the air. An evil conspiracy is afloat, as those with questionable morals breathe together a noxious odor; yet finding it enjoya…

Christian Hedonism 27:00

12M ago27:00

27:00

We live in a hedonistic society. This is defined as a society where most people spend most of their time seeking their own pleasure and satisfaction. They may not always find the pleasure and satisfaction they seek, but it is always at the forefront of their minds. It is usually pictured as a bad thing. We might think of Las Vegas as being a hedoni…

Tools, Toys and Idols 27:01

12M ago27:01

27:01

A smart phone can be a valuable tool. So is your tablet, laptop, or desktop. It is a phone, a watch, map, camera, and dozens of other things that help us in our daily lives. Of course, it is also a toy. I can use it to play games, enjoy pictures, videos, or music, engage in hours of useless and trivial conversations or internet searches. But, it ca…

Risking Your Wrath? 27:09

1y ago27:09

27:09

Never has a society been more offended or insulted by other people’s ideas than in this modern era. People, including many Christians, are always mad at someone because of some offense. Of course, there is a modern-day innocence to it all. We don’t usually go out into the streets and have a shoot-out—at least in most cases. Yet, there is something …

Do Not Sin Against the Child 27:02

1y ago27:02

27:02

It is easy to see how children sin against their parents. Sometimes it is a little more clouded about how parents might sin again their children. In this week’s edition of PathLight we are reminded of the story of Joseph. At one point in the story, Reuben rebuked his brothers for their mistreatment of Joseph some 22 years earlier. He said, "Spake I…

Kind Christians 26:33

1y ago26:33

26:33

Unlike what most people assume, being nice and being kind are two different things. They may share a few common attributes, but not many. Being nice involves doing something that is pleasing or agreeable. On the other hand, kindness is doing something that is helpful to others. It comes from a place of genuine concern and benevolence. Therefore, as…

Fake News 28:04

1y ago28:04

28:04

In our world there are many reports that are fake news, and because of that, there are many who also discount true news. By the same token, there are reports that some label conspiracies that turn out to be true. Just as there are “so-called true” reports that turn out to be false. In short, since the world fell by believing Satan’s Lie, we have li…

Learning to Improvise 27:36

1y ago27:36

27:36

Have you noticed that God seldom gives you the whole plan at one time? There are a lot of things that God wants you to figure out as you go along. Perhaps we couldn’t handle it all at one time. Perhaps we have to gradually prepare ourselves for what is coming. Perhaps God is teaching us the virtues of faith, patience, dependence, and maybe even the…

The Greatest Act of Worship 27:54

1y ago27:54

27:54

Every step to the cross Jesus echoed the words: “My Father is of infinite worth. His will, His pleasure, His holiness, and His justice are the reality of life.” And every hammer blow driving the nails into His hands and feet on the cross echoed through the universe: “My Father is of infinite value. What He has purposed, is all that matters.” The Fa…

The Misunderstood Messiah 27:57

1y ago27:57

27:57

There really is no middle ground. Either Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, or He wasn’t. If He was, how is it that the Jewish people by and large didn’t recognize him when He came 2000 years ago? Our text in Isaiah 53 tells us that almost no one believed what He had to say. Jesus came as the Messiah, but Israel wanted nothing to do with Him. We know th…

Death Can Wait 28:01

1y ago28:01

28:01

There is a direct connection between the resurrection of Jesus and our future hope. There is also a direct connection between the resurrection of Jesus and our present rest and security. This is hope that can stand in the middle of the deepest difficulties of life; hope that won’t fade in the face of disappointment and discouragement; hope that doe…

Astonishing Gratefulness 28:04

1y ago28:04

28:04

We all walk closer to the edge than we think. There is a thin line between disaster and prosperity, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, life and death. Let a car pull out in front of you. Let a tiny switch malfunction and the whole plane crashes. Let the train jump the tracks. Let the brakes give away. Let a tiny virus enter our system. Let the lig…

Bent In The Wrong Direction 28:01

1y ago28:01

28:01

If you are not actively fighting against it, you are a self-centered person; and so am I! The human nature, due to the corruption of the original sin, is deeply curved in on itself. Self comes first! Sometimes it is so bent that we can even become prideful about the gifts of God. Dr. T. D. Worthington reminds us that when you are curved inward, you…

Negative Thinking 28:03

1y ago28:03

28:03

Do you ever talk to yourself? Sure, we all do. So, what do you say to yourself when you talk to yourself? I'm talking about the ongoing self-talk, the stuff that you say to yourself over and over and over again in your mind. If you're like a lot of people, unfortunately, you get stuck in what you might call a negative loop. A negative mindset is ea…

Delayed Deliverance 27:56

1y ago27:56

27:56

All of us, one time or another, have prayed and asked God for something and have had to wait…and wait. Waiting is perhaps one of life's most difficult tasks. We hate the fact that we have to wait for something. We have become a society where delays are not accepted or tolerated. We have become a society of impatient people and now it is pouring ove…

Open Minded Christianity 28:05

1y ago28:05

28:05

Are you open-minded or narrow-minded? The modern world says that if you are open-minded, you are accepting, tolerant, unbiased and understanding; you are just a wonderful person. But if you are narrow-minded, you are bigoted, conservative, opinionated, reactionary and intolerant; you are some kind of jerk. So, we know what the answer is supposed to…

Sweating the Small Stuff 28:01

1+ y ago28:01

28:01

“Don’t sweat the small stuff,” we’re told. While it is important not to major on the minors, we still know that small things have the power to influence the direction of a day—or a life. A set of lost car keys can put the whole household in an uproar. A leak under the sink can lead to a huge mess. In a positive way, a dandelion from a child can be …

Three Pictures of Marriage 28:00

1+ y ago28:00

28:00

Marriage is one of the most powerful relationships that we can participate in, as human beings. The first book of the Bible establishes marriage as the foundation for human connection. Families are produced, homes are situated, and cultures extend from the central point of marriage. While marriage is an important institution, it also challenges bot…

Imagination 28:11

1+ y ago28:11

28:11

When I was a little boy, I was blessed with a vivid imagination. I guess most kids are. I could be a cowboy, a soldier, a fireman; all in the same day whatever I wanted to be. And it was my imagination that made it all real. A stick with a rope tied to it became a horse and two old boards nailed together with a rusty nail became an airplane. Of cou…

A Devilish Dealmaker 28:03

1+ y ago28:03

28:03

There are a lot of powerful and famous people that did not get to where they are without some powerful help. In making that statement, I am not just referring to help from wealthy or influential friends or family. And for this message, I am not referring to God. I am referring to the devil. The Bible does depict the devil as a dealmaker. In the boo…

Regrets and Resolutions 28:00

1+ y ago28:00

28:00

Have you made some resolutions for the New Year? If so, by default it would mean you must have some regrets. And now those regrets must be strong enough for you to ask God to empower you to become a person of resolution. Now, there is a difference in a person with a resolution and a person of resolution. A resolved person has made a mental determin…

The Wisdom of God 28:00

1+ y ago28:00

28:00

Atheists think that Christians are foolish for believing in God. Christians think that atheists are blind for not seeing the overwhelming evidence for a divine Creator. But in reality, both sides of this argument are represented by highly intelligent people. So, how is it that two intelligent people, presented with the same evidence can reach total…

The Only Cure For Racism 28:01

1+ y ago28:01

28:01

Recently I heard a politician state that his goal was to end racism in America. Assuming the best, in that most rational people really would like to end racism, I want to be honest and tell you that it cannot be done. I am sure that many people calling for an end of racism really want to make this world a better place. But, the truth is, they are p…

What Is Your Work Ethic? 28:05

1+ y ago28:05

28:05

Have you considered the possibility that the most important message you receive at work may not come from your boss. It may not come from a co-worker, client, or customer. It may come from the Lord. Now, that does not mean we are to sit around and goof off waiting for some revelation from glory, but it does mean we should work with expectancy. In t…

Too Busy For Jesus 28:01

1+ y ago28:01

28:01

You can’t miss Christmas, because it is everywhere. But it is possible to walk through the Christmas season, and miss the real reason we celebrate. We can lose track of what all the festivities are supposed to be about. We aren’t going to miss Christmas, because it’s out there. It’s unavoidable. But it is possible that we miss Jesus, whose birthday…

Jesus of Nazareth 28:01

28:01

Did you grow up in a place outsiders might call “Nowhere”? Jesus grew up in “Nowhere” also. Did you know that the Old Testament never even mentions Nazareth? Think of all the genealogies and historical accounts in the Old Testament, and you will often find a lot of attention paid to land, geography, and places. Yet, you will not find one single men…

Christmas Giving 28:02

28:02

Wouldn’t it be odd for a child to behold their bounty of gifts and say: “I deserve all of this…and maybe even more?” The child would be totally missing the point. The people they should be thanking are the parents because they bought the gifts. You see, the parents were not trying to show her how much the child deserved; they are trying to show the…

Easy To Be A Crummy Spouse 28:01

1+ y ago28:01

28:01

We might dismiss the marriage of Adam and Eve as being too extraordinary to be of any practical help for you and I. How could any ordinary sinful husband or wife today relate to those truly innocent newlyweds, with their perfect home in a perfect paradise? They enjoyed a fullness of peace and security and intimacy that’s now impossible to experienc…

Christian Generosity 27:55

“It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). The words of Jesus, quoted in the book of Acts, are some of the most famous in the Bible. They celebrate the goodness and blessing of generosity. But, we need to remember during this Thanksgiving season that the Christian virtue of generosity first involves receiving. You can’t give what yo…

Our Lord desires for you and I to be good interpreters of the present time. Because the interpretation we give the present time has direct consequences for ourselves and those around us.

Most of us know what’s happening in the world. We can hear it on the news every day. But it is not enough to simply know what is happening. We must interpret and discern what is really going on in what is happening. Our Lord desires for you and I to be good interpreters of the present time. Interpretation is when you address the disease and not jus…

The Constitution 28:09

The Bible is a perfect book. It teaches me how to govern my life in a way that will be pleasing to God. America also has a book, although it is not perfect like the Bible, it is still a good book. It has served us well. I am referring to our Constitution. However, just like the perfect Bible, our imperfect Constitution doesn’t seem to be working. H…

Who Picks Up The Check? “He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.” (Proverbs 16:26) This verse means that the threat of hunger keeps us working, even when we may not want to work. Our appetite for food and shelter works for us by urging us on to work. But, what happens when people who are able to work can get food, …

The Bitter Cup of Victory 28:03

In your interactions with other believers there is a good chance that somewhere along the line, you are going to be disappointed; even hurt. In this week’s PathLight, we learn that during such seasons of pain, it is important to remember that you are a disciple of One who was betrayed, who was hurt, and you and I are no better than our Lord. Joseph…

Asking Why, Instead of What! 27:57

1+ y ago27:57

27:57

Most Americans make false assumptions about most everything simply because the liberal philosophy seldom asks “why.” It only asks “what.” One can take almost any issue. Take the issue of drugs. Few in the liberal establishment are asking “why.” Most of them only ask “what.” What can we do about this problem? So, we dispense free needles to try to c…

Too Late to Be Great 27:59

This week’s PathLight speaks to the subject of greatness, and my desire for you to be great before it is too late, because one day it will be too late. The Scripture says that in a great house there are vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor. So, being in a great house does not make you great, it does not even ensure that you will become great.

Ruthless Christians 28:04

1+ y ago28:04

28:04

Do you know where the word “ruthless” comes from? The word “ruth” originally meant “compassion” or “pity,” especially toward the needy. To have “ruth” meant you grieved over the suffering of others. Therefore, to be “ruthless” means you go through life thinking only of yourself. You see the pain of others, and it doesn’t move you at all. I know tha…

A King Without Courage 27:58

In the book of Jeremiah, we read of a cowardly king by the name of Zedekiah. This king didn’t care about the people, he only cared for himself. He was a king without courage. There is always a price to pay for making decisions in your own best interests instead of making decisions that will bring honor and glory to God. There is always a price to p…
