Some years ago, at the Great World Fair, held in the city of Chicago, there was said to be a meeting of people representing the various religions of the world. At that meeting was an old-fashioned Bible believing preacher who set out to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. To do so, he began to quoteContinue reading “What Can Make Me Whole Again?”

You Won’t See God Without It
The Bible states plainly that we should “Follow after peace with all men AND HOLINESS without which no man can see God.” (Hebs.12:14) There is nothing more important yet possibly more unappealing to most than the subject of holiness. To be sure, because some have misrepresented what holiness is, it has taken a bad rap,Continue reading “You Won’t See God Without It”
NANCY
Eulogies of our dearest ones are often shared, like beautiful bouquets, at their memorial services. I have often thought it would be better to share them with our loved ones while they are still living, so here is a tribute to my dear Sister, Nancy, who has suffered so much for so long. My dearContinue reading “NANCY”
Profane Persons
Esau, son of Isaac and Rebekah and brother of Jacob was labeled a profane person, a fornicator who, for a morsel of meat, sold what should have been his coveted birthright in the succession of Old Testament patriarchs. (Hebrews 12:16,17) Being called a profane person by the Holy Spirit is as bad as it couldContinue reading “Profane Persons”
“Never Give In!”
Those words were spoken by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in October of 1941 when France had fallen to Hitler and the German dictator had his foot firmly planted on the neck of the European continent. On the 29th of October Churchill traveled to Harrow, his prep school, to address his alma mater in one ofContinue reading ““Never Give In!””
Faithfully Consistent, Consistently Faithful
Last Thursday I wrote about these days being “the good old days,” encouraging all of us to glance back from time to time remembering God’s goodness, but to look forward always by faith, expecting the best days would be days present and days ahead. That truth was embodied by a fellow servant/soldier of the crossContinue reading “Faithfully Consistent, Consistently Faithful”
Words of Wisdom
In this issue of “You and God” I am going to open one of the oldest Bibles that I have used to give you some choice quotations which I have garnered through the years, either as a Bible College or seminary student or as a church member under the preaching of former pastors. These haveContinue reading “Words of Wisdom”
The Good Old Days
Often those of us who are past the mid-point of life look back upon the days of our youth and reminisce about “the good old days.” Life seemed simpler and more civil. Families were closer, churches stronger and neighborhoods safer. A man’s word was as good as his signature. A dollar was worth more andContinue reading “The Good Old Days”
The Spirit of Fear
Charles Spurgeon once said “It is a blessed fear which drives us to trust.” That is true. We should fear God and fearing Him should lead us to trust him. Charnock, in his Attributes of God, defined fearing God as a “reverential fear of him because of his holiness….” That kind of fear is healthy.Continue reading “The Spirit of Fear”
Sticks and Stones…
“May hurt my bones; but words, they can kill.” Ella Wheeler Wilcox captured the power of a single spoken dart-like word: “You never can tell when you send a word like an arrow shot from a bow, by an archer blind, be it cruel or kind, just where it may chance to go. It mayContinue reading “Sticks and Stones…”
