46:21

Some have mistakenly thought that Jesus' Last Discourse (Upper Room Discourse, John 13-17) does not fit the evangelistic purpose of the Gospel of John (John 20:30-31).

2+ y ago21:37

21:37

Is there any support in the Bible for the concept that we will receive some sort of divine mystical guidance from God before we make a significant spiritual decision? Is a vague feeling of inner peace, the same as divine guidance? Do the Scriptures encourage us to take a combination of circumstances which may be ambiguous in themselves and translat…

Luke 23:39-43 - Be Impossible to Forget (December 17, 1995) 30:26

2+ y ago30:26

30:26

One of the deepest felt needs of the human heart is the need to be remembered. However, all of us have the capacity to forget people. Was the thief on the cross asking Jesus to save him or take him into the kingdom? Nobody in the New Testament has ever asked Jesus to save them from eternal punishment. We are not saved by asking Jesus to save us. We…

33:02

There are a lot of Christians who at one time were competing for the Lord Jesus Christ, but who have now turned their back on that competition. Our minds tend to focus on our own difficulties, frustrations and problems and everything else around us tends to fade into the background. If there was ever a man who had a right to focus on his own troubl…

The experience of Simon of Cyrenia presents us with one of the most remarkable examples and striking illustrations of the real significance and meaning of Christian living.

30:32

One of the hardest things we have to do in life sometimes is to stand alone and to stand up by ourselves when the opposition is coming at us at every side. Every Christian will sooner or later confront a crowd that doesn’t want to do the right thing. If you are a believer in Christ, sooner or later the will of the crowd will clash with the will of …

32:23

In Herod we find one of the most superficial people in the Bible. Herod is an example of a person who is more concerned with looking good in front of other people than in doing what is right. There are probably many people in church whose experience with God is shallow and superficial. Sometimes when Christians do not get what they want from God, t…

Have we been avoiding a necessary examination? There are times in our lives when we are unprepared for an examination. That is what happened to the Roman governor, Pontus Pilate. Pilate faced one of the most basic issues of human life, that is the authority of Jesus Christ. Do you accept the authority of Jesus Christ? After you are saved, the major…

29:58

One of the most lovely statements in the Bible is that “the Lord is my shepherd”, but we quickly forget that the shepherd has a rod and a staff, which he disciplines and chastens his sheep. If we forget the longsuffering of God and we go on our own way and pretend that He is not there, sooner or later, we pay. If you are a disobedient parent, you c…

33:34

When you and I are treated unfairly and unjustly, usually silence is not our strong point on occasions like that. However, the Lord Jesus Christ did not respond with even a single harsh word when being reviled and treated unjustly. When you confront injustice, unfairness and cruelty, the very wisest thing you can do is to commit your case to God, w…

When one is a Christian, they are a Christian forever. However, it is possible for a Christian to be separated from the fellowship of the Lord Jesus Christ by the troubles, disturbances and earthquakes in our lives. In the crisis of life, we are tempted to give up on Jesus, but instead that is the time to walk closer with Him. When you walk away fr…

In this passage we see three signs that the powers of darkness are at work. One of the frequent signs, that the powers of darkness are at work, is treachery and betrayal. Another sign, that Satan is involved in his characteristic activity, is when in disregard to the counsel of God, we act recklessly, rashly and foolishly. Insulting and demeaning b…

Even though rejection is never a pleasant experience, for a Christian (a person who has believed in the Lord Jesus Christ for the free gift of eternal life) rejection can be a badge of honor. We have opportunities in this day and time to share in the rejection of Jesus Christ and to identify ourselves with Him and with the rejection that men give t…
