True Value
My father worked in advertising before giving his full time to preaching the Word. He had opportunity to help a young man with his first employment, who eventually rose to a key post in Mercedes-Benz Canada. Meanwhile, my father had ventured into preaching, a virtual unknown. One of his first series was a few weeks […]
No Ordinary People
It is a serious thing…to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All […]
Persistent Love
Will and Peter Pell once were preaching at a conference in Hamilton, ON. At lunch, a woman asked if they would visit her unsaved brother in the hospital. When they arrived, the nurse told them the man had been in a coma for some time, a detail the sister had not given them! But they […]
The Mark
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Rev 13:16-17). I would […]
Pride of Heart
In the book Two Pioneer Evangelists, the thrilling stories of Donald Ross and Donald Munro, is the following conversion account and the Holy Spirit’s convicting work: “One woman who attended gospel meetings held by Donald Ross in Annieshead [Scotland] was deeply convicted of sin,” but she “rose in a rage, saying that she would ‘never […]
Amused to Death
“But the end of all things is at hand: therefore be serious, and watchful in prayer” (1 Pet 4:7). In his seminal book, Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman graphically paints a portrait of our times: “…in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling […]
New Hearts For Free
The prisoner had been known as “king of the garotters” for his history of strangling his victims. He seemed utterly without mercy. He had asked the chaplain to bring him a certain book to read, but the chaplain suggested the Bible already lying in his cell. “It would do no good to the likes of […]
Seek Him, Desire Him
Why did God, who professedly loves all His creatures, not give such overwhelming evidence of Himself that everyone capable of knowing such a God would find it impossible not to know Him? This is essentially the argument of J. L. Schellenberg in what he calls “the hiddenness of God.” It is based on certain false […]
Start Yer Eatin’
Good illustrations or demonstrations can be very effective in making the gospel plain. Our Lord used them all the time. But you better be sure of your facts before you use one in public. John MacArthur tells one of a woman who lived back in the hills. One day, to her surprise, a vacuum cleaner […]
Not Negotiable
What did Jesus mean when He said, “I came not to send peace, but a sword” (Mt 10:34)? Writes A.W. Tozer: A new Decalogue has been adopted by the neo-Christians of our day, the first word of which reads: “Thou shalt not disagree;” and a new set of Beatitudes too, which begins, “Blessed are they […]
