I have here a needlepoint picture. As you can see, on the back, it is not a beautiful picture, but on the front, it is. This picture is a good illustration of the truth God shares with us in Romans 8:28. (Read it). When trials or sorrows come our way, we often ask, “Why?” In […]
Someone wisely said, “The reason some folks do not believe in missions is because the brand of religion they have isn’t worth propagating.” If our faith in Christ is worth having, it is worth sharing with others. Jesus said, (Matthew 5:16) “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, […]
The Apostle Paul, the first NT foreign missionary wrote, (1 Thessalonians 5:25) “Brethren, pray for us.” That is the heart’s cry of every biblical missionary. The biblical work of missions is beyond human ability. Moving to a foreign mission field, many missionaries face obstacles they would never have faced had they ministered in their homeland. […]
How many of you have an unbelieving loved one or friend that you want to see come to Christ? __ I do too. In this text, God urges believers to pray for all men because it is His will that all men be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth. If you are […]

From a human perspective, resurrection from the dead is impossible and incredible. After Christ’s resurrection, His close disciples did not believe when the women told them what the angels said. Thomas refused to believe without proof. (John 20:24-28) “But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other […]
When two young people are in love and are engaged to be married, they eagerly await the special day of their wedding. They count the days and the hours until they say, “I do.” They dream about the occasion. They talk to everyone about it. They are truly excited. Similarly, there is an exciting day […]
Most of you know that one of my hobbies is artistic painting. I have found many good painting websites. Some of them share their information freely; however, others require a financial membership of some sort. By becoming a member, a painter gets the privilege of receiving valuable painting tips and lessons that are not available […]
Dr David Thomason wisely observed. “Romans 6 presents the possibility of victorious living, while Romans 7 presents the human impossibility of victorious Christian living, then Romans 8 presents what happens when God is in the picture! Romans 7 is about ME, while Romans 8 is about the Holy Spirit. God insists that not only do […]
