“The Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). In this glorious section of 2 Timothy 3, the Apostle Paul is exhorting Timothy to follow his example. Paul believes that all Scripture—every passage, every book, every sentence,... Read more →

Jesus is the only way to Heaven for several reasons. Jesus was “chosen of God” to be the Savior (1 Peter 2:4). Jesus is the only One to have come down from Heaven and returned there (John 3:13). He is the only person to have lived a perfect human life... Read more →

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All... Read more →

One of the great statements that Jesus made regarding Himself was “I am the way” (John 14:6). I realize that Jesus was making that statement in a specific connection, in response to a question from Thomas; but in light of who Jesus was and is, and in light of all... Read more →

Do we really believe that God has given us what we need in this book? Or do we think we have to supplement the Bible with other man-made things? Do we need sociological techniques to do evangelism? Do we need psychology and psychiatry for Christian growth? Do we need extra-biblical... Read more →

This world is a world of sin. This world’s system is contrary to God, in opposition to God, and in opposition to truth, holiness, love, and life. This started in the Garden of Eden, when our father Adam fell. In Adam all died; in Adam sin and death passed upon... Read more →

Too often, Christians reflect on only what they should believe about the word of God. But Psalm 119 will not let us stop there. This love poem forces us to consider how we feel about the word of God. We see that the psalmist has three fundamental affections for God’s... Read more →

If you come to know Jesus, He will bring you to know the Father. When I began my Christian life, my awareness of the One with whom I was dealing was that of the Lord Jesus. He filled my horizon. I remember how I loved the hymns which sang of... Read more →

Could it be true, that the reason we struggle in our Christian walk, is because we are not abiding in the word of God? The difficulty is not the word itself, but our own appetites—or lack of appetite! We read in Psalms chapter 1 about the “blessed man.” We are... Read more →

The pilot of a military plane was forced to parachute into a jungle in southeast Asia. How could he possibly find his way out? A local man saw what had happened and came to the pilot’s rescue, slashing through the tangled underbrush. The frightened pilot cried out, “Where’s the road?... Read more →

As believers, one of our greatest dangers is that we can treat the Bible as if it were ordinary. Our passion for the word of God can be depleted over time. Why is it that though we revere the word of God, we no longer read and feed upon it... Read more →

I once saw Billy Graham’s daughter Anne Graham Lotz on a popular news talk program. The interviewer asked, “Are you one of those who believe that Jesus is exclusively the only way to Heaven?” He added, “You know how mad that makes people these days!” Without blinking she replied, “Jesus... Read more →

What is a Christian? Christians can be described from many angles, but we can cover everything by saying: true Christians are people who acknowledge and live under the word of God.
