Why Will Ye Die?

"Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, 'Why will ye die?' This inquiry implies that man should have some reason for persisting in the way that leads to death. It also implies that he has not a satisfactory reason. It is, perhaps, designed to bring man to pause and lead him to consider his ways, and to ask himself why he pursues the way of death. There is no satisfactory reason why men will die. Peristence in sin is utter and suicidal folly." (Pulpit Commentary) God is crying out today to all those who are away from Him, while inquiring - "Why will you die?" Some have chosen the way of death due to their love of sin... rejection of the Truth... persistence in disobedience ...utter selfishness...and desire for the "good life" at whatever cost. You will be judged "according to your ways." What are they saying about you today?

Tools With A Purpose

"The Scriptures tell us that we are God's husbandry. Just as the farmer uses many tools in order to bring about a substantial harvest, even so does God have many spiritual tools that He uses to bring about an eternal work in us. Matthew Henry said - 'Afflictions are God's threshing-instrument, designed to loosen us from the world, to separate between us and our chaff, and to prepare us for use. And, as to these, God will make use of them as there is occasion...herein we must acknowledge Him wonderful in counsel and excellent in working.'"

We All Need Help

"A woman said to Evangelist D.L. Moody - 'I have found a promise that helps me when I am afraid. It is Psalm 56:3 which says - What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee.'

'Mr. Moody replied - 'I have a better promise than that! It is Isaiah 12:2 which says - I will trust and not be afraid.'"

The woman in this story chose to trust God as the occasion arose. However, D.L. Moody chose to remain - at all times - in an attitude of trust.

Who are you more like - the woman or the evangelist?

God Of A Second Chance

"Is it not falsehood which corrupts the world? Truth is the essential base for all social happiness. The world is dying of lies, false promises, corrupted motives, pretense, posing - the thousand forms which falsehood takes in men and organizations of men. Nations die for want of Truth." (E.M. Blaiklock - Commentary On Psalms)

I Will Help You

The Christian life is a warfare, a struggle, a fight of faith. Every Christian is called to be a soldier. Hence, he is not meant to live a life of religious ease, indolence, or security. The hosts of Satan are committed to hindering and obstructing the work of Christ and to knock the soldier out of combat. The more effective a believer is for the Lord, the more he will experience the savage attacks of the enemy. His success depends entirely on believing.

Make A Difference

" 'If we are too much like the world, we are useless. Christians should not blend in with everyone else. Jesus tells us, as He told His disciples, that we must be different if we want to make a difference. We dare not allow the world to dilute our effectiveness. If we do, we are of no value to Him.' (Life Application Bible Commentary) Jesus did not call the Church to be conciliatory to society. In other words, He did not call them to be 'sugar' to the world. He called them to be 'salt' and 'light.' It behooves every Christian to be attentive to the high and holy calling to which they are called."

When Times Are Very Bad

Though men are false, God is faithful. Though men are not to be trusted, God is. When are the times bad - very bad? Some would say when there are no jobs.. when there is a scarcity of money...a decay of trade...or the desolation of wars. However, the Scriptures say otherwise - it is when iniquity abounds. In Psalm 12, David specifically offers us five (5) indications of when the times are bad - very bad. Listen to this podcast to see how these relate to the days in which we are presently living.
