Philemon needed Paul as Paul needed Philemon. I needed Bill as Bill needed me.

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

A great truth to consider: Eternal life does not start when you die and go to Heaven.

Satan hates to see the progress of God’s people in this world. He seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10). But he uses a very shrewd approach, which has been copied by evil rulers throughout history. He seeks to make the victims look like the persecutors.

As the ancient Israelites could follow the Shepherd and call on Him on their behalf, so the modern Christian can follow the Good Shepherd and ask him to “give ear” and “shine forth” in time of need.

A young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska, was brutally murdered on a train in North Carolina. Nineteen days later, Charlie Kirk, noted Christian apologist, was gunned down as he answered questions posed by college students in Utah. The horror of these two events should cause us to reflect on many things. Among them is this: What is the result of generations of belief in evolution? In other words, what is evolution’s fruit?

It occurred to Moses at some point that he had been conversing with Almighty God, yet he had never seen His face. He surely understood that God could see him, but he could not see God. He wanted to know God better.

Love is demonstrated by the things we do, not by the words we say or the feelings we have. Biblical love is an "action" word not a "state of being" word.

“And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring…” (Acts 6:1)

What to do when murmuring arises? Acts 6 shows us two powerful principles that the early church used, and the results were astounding. Astounding results are not guaranteed, of course. God may have other things in mind to accomplish, but the principles are rock solid.

Sometimes when God calls His people to do something it can be a little scary. Though He promised never to leave us or forsake us, when we’re facing unknown peril in pursuing His will, the road seems a little less sure than it did before. This is illustrated in the following story of a pioneer preacher here in Georgia.
