Pride Scrutinized and Viewed Positively

pride scrutinized viewed positively

There is a kind of pride that’s necessary to maintain one’s sanity and sense of self-respect. An unfortunate but very smart woman married a moneyed but wild man. Her in-laws were cold, always despising her poverty for long years until she lived independently, far away from the deck of her husband’s abundance.

Real God Whom Paul Met at Damascus

The deity of Christ is the heart of the Christian religion. The apostle Paul clearly taught that his “great God and Savior” is Jesus Christ. Our Lord is real God Incarnate. But the haters of the Christian faith see this teaching as unacceptable as the Bible itself. How did Paul arrive at his doctrine that Christ is our great God and Savior?

Secret Prayer Really Works

Secret prayer will work for you. Secret devotion or prayer keeps man closer to God. It is also his spiritual source of strength and power. What one will find behind all true Christian successes in this world as in the case of John Wesley or Charles Spurgeon? One will discover they were men of prayer. Without intense and ceaseless worshipfulness, they couldn’t have been used so wonderfully by our Lord.

Lukewarmness & the Pastor’s Restricting God’s Membership

lukewarmness

Lukewarmness, however, remains the most eloquent testimony of our pulpits’ spiritual powerlessness! We need more Christ, not more verses, for He is the wisdom of God.

The Life of Horatio, an Unmarried Man

life challenges versus unmarried man

Life demands that everyone should follow its list of priorities, topped by food and marital stability. I heard someone say this typical family shibboleth: “College, job, family.” But Mary Kay’s philosophy of life was even superior: “God first, family second, career third.”

Have you noticed that as we advance in technology, we deteriorate in moral values so equally fast? While Eve covered herself, many in today’s generation wanted to show off their body? Nude societies are making headlines in Australia and other countries. And people love them for being such blatantly depraved! God said that the man, Legion, was undressed, and had 2,000 demons! (cf. Mark 5:15) Mary Magdalene had seven demons. (Mark 16:9) Indeed, the demons are influencing our culture, and worse, our majority support and enjoy them! The apostle Paul wrote over 2000 years ago that “although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.” Corrupt politicians are voted in and the principled ones voted out. The people’s choice to release Barabbas, the robber, and crucify Jesus stays in the human heart until now to dignify what is crooked and wrong. How about calling a harlot as a “pornstar?” What talent does she possess to merit the adjective of a “star” or famous? Why not shameful, wicked, falling star—or other terms more convicting! The demons, the powers of darkness, must have twisted our moral sense and shaped out what is ugly and immoral into our culture.
