When God delivers an important message, it is often from the mountain top. It is a habit of His. Mt. Horeb (also known as Mt. Sinai) was called “the mountain of God” and is where God spoke to Moses from the burning bush, and later gave the Ten Commandments (Ex 3:1,2; 19:20). It is where […]

A Blind Man’s Lantern
A blind man once walked into a dark room carrying a lantern. When he was asked why he carried the lantern since darkness and light were the same to him, he replied, “I have it so others will not stumble over me.” What a wise man! God’s Word is described as a lamp that guides […]
Don’t Tell, Do Tell
We are told in Mark 1:40-45 about a man with leprosy who came to Jesus, desiring to be healed. The man kneeled before Jesus and said he knew Jesus could heal him if He desired to do so. Jesus was moved with compassion and healed the man. Then, Jesus told the man not to tell […]
We Have Only Three Days
You may not realize this, but it is a fact that we all have only three days about which to be concerned in this lifetime. Those who make the most of these three days will be happy, successful and richly rewarded. These days are yesterday, today and tomorrow. Learning from YESTERDAY In Genesis 30:27, Laban […]
See What John Saw
Imagine you were the great apostle, aged and innocent and always helpful but now “quarantined” on a forsaken island because of your religion, a religion seen as subversive to the government. You are alone, without help, feeling every cold wind, hot sun and hunger pang, and it is not your fault. What would be your […]
Hit Me Again
Bodily pain has an important function. It is a warning that something is wrong and that steps should be taken to correct the difficulty. A leper may grab hold of a hot coal and, if he is not alert, burn part of his hand away because no warning messages of pain come through the nerves […]
TOP TWELVE WAYS TO KNOW YOU’RE LISTENING TO A FALSE TEACHER
What do you think is proof someone is false? See I John 4:1. 1. False teachers use little or NO BIBLE in their message, Isa.8:19-20; II Tim 4:2. 2. They tell you that God speaks to him/her (Send in $40 etc. and God told me He will bless you, etc.). 3. What he/she prophecies does […]
Giving Good Advice
Those who are wise know that there are times when they need the advice of knowledgeable and mature Christians. “A wise man will hear and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels” (Pro. 1:5). God says we need advice, not only as individuals, but for the good of the […]
The Ruin of a Ruler
Solomon wrote, “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Pro. 16:18; KJV). Scripture provides numerous illustrations of the truth of this proverb. Consider the Assyrian commander who asked, “Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should […]
What is Tolerated Today Becomes Accepted Tomorrow
Many years ago I read a quote that I found it to be true. This was the quote: “What is tolerated today becomes accepted tomorrow.” Whoever said that said a mouthful and hit the nail on the head. Let me give a couple of examples. In 1939 a movie was made that had one curse […]
