According to Andrew Murray, 19th Century Christian writer, teacher and pastor, there are two sides from which we can approach the higher truth of God’s word regarding holiness and likeness to Jesus. 1) the desire to know all Scripture truthfully and to have our system of doctrine complete and perfect. 2) the deep, intense longing to …

Seeing the Sin in My Self-righteousness
“It’s one thing to see the sin in your sin but it’s something else to see the sin in your self-righteousness.” – John MacArthur. “Amen,” is my response to his statement. Unless I see the sin in my self-righteousness I should not expect to be a very effective witness for the Lord Jesus to the unbelieving world. …
Filled with Jesus
“The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is because people are not filled with Jesus.” – Smith Wigglesworth. Although he made that statement 90 years ago, it is the same reason the world is not seeing Jesus today. He was a man filled with Jesus and his life’s mission was to fill others with Jesus. Before he …
Starving For the Word of God
Can you imagine yourself as a 91 year old Christian who’s been waiting 50 years for your first Bible – or 40, 30, 20 years, depending on your age? It’s commonplace in China. The 91 year old is not featured in this video clip but no doubt his reaction would be the same as those who are …

Years ago as a new Christian, preachers often told us the church had lost its power. Unbelief or lack of faith was the suggested problem back then. Today as I look at the Western church, it seems that lots of people within don’t know there is such a power to lose! To me that suggests ignorance is …
I Don’t Believe they Don’t Believe in God
For the past couple of years or so, I’ve been noting comments made by the same few people on one particular “social” media forum who say they don’t believe in God and religion. When a new discussion thread comes up about either one, they can always be relied upon to turn up like clockwork and express an opinion. Sadly …

God never Speaks like Satan but Satan Speaks like God!
A Christian woman came out of the prayer room one Sunday; she sighed and said, “Sometimes I feel so inadequate in God.” In a telephone conversation, the Christian man said, “I ask forgiveness for my sins every night.” That’s a grand thing to ask if one sins every day, but he was asking for that too which he’d confessed when …
