Moments For You
First Things First
“For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Before our thoughts turn to service to the Lord, and our work for Him, it is very necessary to have our hearts occupied with... Read more →
Constrained
“The love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Corinthians 5:14,15). If... Read more →
Doing or Done?
“What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (Luke 10:25). What shall I do? No words can more plainly show the ignorance of a fallen sinner who does not understand his lost, fallen, helpless condition. When man could do nothing, Jesus came to him where he was. What a journey... Read more →
Doers of the Word

Learning vs. Doing
I read about a man in New York City who died at the age of 63 without ever having had a job. He spent his entire adult life in college. He had acquired so many academic degrees that they looked like the alphabet behind his name. Why did this man... Read more →
What Are You Doing?
Christ had passed through the awful hour of agony and death. He then came back from the grave a victorious conqueror, and proclaimed to His disciples, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.” Then He immediately added, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the... Read more →
Works of Faith
“Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works” (James 2:17,18). I wish to point out the difference between good... Read more →
