56,000,000 People Die Annually; a Minimal Percentage Die in Christ

According to a World Death Clock on the Internet, approximately 56,000,000 people die annually. About 4,679,450 people die monthly, about 153,420 die daily and about 6,390 die hourly. “We’ve all gotta die sometime,” they say. “When your number’s up, that’s it!” True to the first statement, not true to the second one. And as it is …

My God is Your God. My Bible is Your Bible.

When proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to people, there has always been the odd one or two to firmly let me know they are not interested in knowing about, “your God” or “your Bible.” Amazingly, such has even been expressed by church affiliated people! Who, “their god ” might be, they are not able …

Don’t Buy the Lie that Life lacks Purpose or Meaning

A recent survey of 1500 people in the UK showed 89% of 16-29-year-olds among them believing life lacks purpose or meaning. 55% of those over 60 years answered the same way. That’s a decent sized survey. It tells me that’s probably the percentage of all UK people in those age brackets at this point. The …

God Has No Grandchildren

The other day my wife and I went for a coffee in a building that was once a church. The coffee shop is situated where the foyer used to be and the rest of the building is now converted into apartments. That night on TV we watched a home renovation program, with one of the …

Reverence and Respect for God is the Foundation of Wisdom

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments…… Psalm 111:10. For a believer, the word “fear” means: ‘reverence for God; respect for His law and His will.’ Such reverence and respect is the foundation of wisdom. Those who fear God fear nothing else. …

Get Real with God and He will Get Real with You

Even though they were in captivity because of their acts of rebellion and idolatry, through His prophet Jeremiah, God told the Jewish people that His thoughts towards them were thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. They had some conditions to meet before they could inherit the glorious …

The Spirit of Hatred is On the March

No doubt there were many Christians across the globe asking, “Why, Lord?” in relation to the mass slaughter of their fellow Christian brothers and sisters, young and old, in Sutherland Falls Texas, USA, last Sunday. I did. Did God answer me? Not in a manner I would have liked and I don’t suspect He will seeing He …

It Behoves Us All To Be Prepared

Referring to death, “It behoves us all to be prepared,” said the old saint to my wife and I at our first meeting many years ago. We’ve never forgotten him or his words. I thought of them again last Sunday when learning of the deaths of what’s reported to be at least 160 people when …

The Words of Eternal Life

“Fear not.” “Be not afraid.” “You shall not be afraid.” “You shall not fear.” We see those encouraging phrases expressed by the LORD God Almighty many times over in the Bible. Whilst some say there’s one for every day of the year, I didn’t find that to be the reality in correct context from the Authorized …

The Sole Source of Truth

Teaching from Romans 1:26, the old preacher shared with his class the moral destruction that came into a church because of one lesbian woman. I gather that because of weak leadership and spiritual immaturity nothing was done to put a stop to it. But he certainly did so. He said, “When I got there I was an …
