A Great Warfare
      Introduction The great warfare of which Daniel writes (Dan. 10:1) is an eternal warfare. It did not begin with Daniel, nor did it end with him. The Bible discloses that this war began before man was found on the earth, and long before man became involved ... read more

A Great Warfare - Part 2
      How the enemy loves to see us in this pit of passivity, frightened to do anything lest perchance we should move in the flesh, constantly trying to analyse ourselves to see whether we are in the flesh or in the Spirit. We may be quite as useless to the Lor ... read more

A Kingdom that cannot be shaken
      â€œBut He has promised, ‘Yet once more and only once, will I shake the heavens and the earth … and I will shake all nations; and the Desire of all nations shall come …’ These words, ‘Yet once more’, indicate the removal of what can be shaken â ... read more

A tree planted by the water
      “This is what the Lord says: Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose confidence is in Him. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river. It shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaves shall be ... read more

Caleb the Wholehearted and the Land of Promise
      When we read Paul’s letters it is impossible not to note a deep concern running through them that Christians should realise the greatness of their salvation, the glorious destiny to which they have been called and the infinite resources which are theirs ... read more

Can you afford it?
      Can you afford to neglect the Bible? Just supposing it is true in spite of all its critics say. Most people have never bothered to read it carefully to find out its message for themselves. Have you? Many have not opened a Bible since they left school, and ... read more

Dead or alive?
      Jesus said: “I solemnly assure you, whoever hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. He will not be judged, but has already passed from death to life. The time is coming—has already come—when the dead will hear the voice of the ... read more

Fear not … Be strong …
      The fact that the words, “Fear not…Be strong”, (and similar ones), occur so often throughout the scriptures, indicates that the spirit of fearfulness (anxiety, worry, timidity), and the spirit of weakness (defeatism, giving in, giving up, compromise ... read more

Giving the Lord His place
      This holy concentration can also be clearly seen, for example, in the lives of David and Paul, but first let us note it in the life of the Lord Jesus Himself. It is impressive and significant that His ministry began and ended with a cleansing of the te ... read more

God cares
      It is a sad world we live in, and it is our fault. Yet, while we have abandoned God, He has not abandoned us! The fact is that God cares tremendously about our human predicament. From beginning to end the Bible declares this. The cross proves this. While ... read more

God is alive! God is real!
      … and God is great and good, holy and loving, faithful and true! How amazing that He is also interested in us, even though most people do not realise it. I wonder what your reaction is to the mention of God? Perhaps you do not want to face the distur ... read more

God is greater
      God is greater than our enemies: the world, the flesh and the devil One of the most encouraging verses in the Bible is 1 John 4:4, “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world”. This is a verse we need today. It tells of God’s overwhelm ... read more

God is my King
      Our most urgent need today as Christians is to see the One whom Isaiah saw in the temple and John on Patmos, the overwhelming majesty of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and then know this Christ, who reigns in highest heaven, reigning in our hearts in re ... read more

How to become a Christian
      1. Admit that you have sinned. “For all have sinned.” “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8 Your sin separates you from God and leads to death. “God is light, and in him is no dar ... read more

I am the bright Morning Star
      This remarkable Title is the last in the Bible taken by the glorified Lord Jesus, and therefore must have some special significance. In thinking about it we shall concentrate on the central issue to be found in three verses and their contexts (Rev.22:1; 2 ... read more

Keeping the faith of Jesus
      These must surely be among the most moving words ever penned, for they are the words of an innocent old man in a Roman dungeon awaiting his execution. They come in the last and very important letter written by Paul, written to his faithful friend and fell ... read more

Knowing and serving the Lord in a day of crisis
      Daniel himself lived through such a time of crisis. At the time when he was deported to Babylon in 605 BC, Babylon had just conquered Assyria, defeated Egypt and become the dominant power in the Middle East. By the end of his long life, Babylon itself had ... read more

Letters from Heaven
      The importance of the first three chapters of the book Revelation – be sure to read them – can hardly be exaggerated, for they contain letters from heaven – letters from Jesus Christ in glory, from the Head of the church to seven churches in the 1st ... read more

Our divine heredity and destiny
      “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Col. 1:27 The Wonder of the New Birth The Christian life begins with a major miracle, by which we are born of God. This is an act of God by which we receive eternal life and become His children. This miracle lea ... read more

Signposts to the reality of the church
      Many today are concerned about the obvious unreality of much of our church life. Although we go through the motions sincerely enough, God often seems to be absent. The vitality and joy of the early Christians is little known. What we find in the Book of t ... read more

Standing up under pressure
      Many people today are finding themselves under growing stress and pressure as the rising tide of lawlessness engulfs the world (2 Thess. 2). That no Christian need break-down under pressure is clear, because the Lord has provided grace sufficient to see u ... read more

Stephen Your witness
      All that we know of Stephen is found in two chapters, and two more verses, in the book of the Acts, and yet he was among the most important of the Lord’s servants in the Bible. In many ways he is the Lord’s key witness in Acts, and the key to the book ... read more

Stormy wind fulfilling His word
      Acts 27 must be one of the most encouraging chapters in the Bible – read it again! It is good for a Christian’s morale, telling as it does the triumphant outcome of Paul’s perilous journey to Rome as a prisoner, through storm and shipwreck. Now t ... read more

The dew of resurrection
      As Christians we live in a spiritual desert, in a world without that living water which alone can satisfy the thirsty heart of man. It is sad to see the many ways in which our race of rebels seeks in vain to satisfy this thirst. It is our privilege, if we ... read more

The eyes of Christ
      One day we shall all see the Lord face to face. For those who have lived without Him this will be a day of overwhelming tragedy; for the half-hearted, lukewarm Christian, a day of profound regret and loss; but for those who have yielded fully to the claim ... read more

The finger of God
      We live in a lost world and a world that has lost its way as if the moral and spiritual signposts have been altered by someone and so point in the wrong directions. Universal confusion reigns as chaos takes over. It seems today that the deceiver of the wh ... read more

The God of hope
      “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13). What a wonderfully encouraging verse! What an antidote to depression! What a wonderful God ... read more

The whole truth is in the whole church
      If we believed this, it would have a far-reaching effect on our thinking and actions. It would cripple our archenemy, spiritual pride. It would stop us paying mere lip-service to the truth of the unity of all believers. Do we realise how much we are losin ... read more

The wind of God and the sails of faith
      In the New Testament there are many pictures illustrating the Christian life, each of which contributes something to our understanding of it. We have the athlete in the games, the soldier on active service, the builder concerned to build on a firm foundat ... read more

Unity
      Church unity is a favourite talking point today but unhappily much of the talk by-passes the fact that only those united to Christ in saving experience can possibly be one. The new birth is crucial. Born-again believers alone can be one. They are already ... read more

Watch
      While we are familiar with the words, “Watch and pray”. There is a great deal more in the scriptures than we realise about watchfulness, an issue of particular importance in these days. The word watch includes the ideas of vigilance, wakefulness, keep ... read more

Where are you going?
      “Go in through the narrow gate, far the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to hell, and there are many who travel it. The gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and few people find it.” The whole Bible echoes these words o ... read more
