"All these things are against me" (Genesis 42:36). These words were spoken by Jacob, the father of the nation of Israel. Of his twelve sons, Joseph was his favorite, and so Jacob carefully and lovingly "made him a coat of many colors" (Genesis 37:3). Jacob fashioned Joseph's coat with only... Read more →

Read Hebrews 11:24-26 What Moses Refuses (verse 24) Moses is an outstanding example of a believer who by faith overcomes all that this present world can offer in the way of attraction and glory.

Various counts have been given for the number of promises found in the Bible. Depending on who's counting (and what they count as a promise), there are anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand of them. You will find a good listing of many of the encouraging ones in... Read more →

There are certain truths we accept as soon as we trust Christ; however, many of them must be made good in us through later experience.

No child of God can visit Calvary too frequently; and in these days of coldness and carelessness and marked indifference, there is a tremendous need that we should journey often in our thoughts to Calvary and be reminded of the purpose of our Saviour in going there. You and I... Read more →

"Jesus … whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it" (Acts 2:24). A stanza from an old hymn says that Jesus Christ "burst the bars" of the grave and "tore its bands away." If a... Read more →

"The word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee" (Jonah 3:1,2). God, in His grace, often gives us second, third, and even more chances to obey Him. After Jonah had... Read more →

"I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38,39).

Of all the extraordinary women in Scripture, one stands out as the most blessed, most highly favored by God, and most universally admired by women. Indeed, no woman is more truly remarkable than Mary, the one chosen by God to be the instrument through which He would at last bring... Read more →

Over and over again the Bible records the silence of God's Lamb in the presence of His accusers (Matthew 26:62,63; Mark 14:60,61, etc.).
