The Lord’s Battle “and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28:20) The Christian is involved in a continual war, with Jesus Christ as the Captain of their salvation. He has said, “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Listen to the battle cries! Now let the people of God stand firm in their ranks, and let no…

“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit” (1 Peter 3:18)   We as Christians affirm the truth declared in Scripture that not only was Jesus dead and buried, but “He was raised on the third day.” We marvel at the fact that He was put to death…

None Like Christ Your answer is at hand: My Beloved bore my sins, opened in His heart a fountain in which I am washed whiter than snow. My Beloved sustains my burdens, counsels my perplexities, heals my wounds, dries my tears, supplies my needs, bears my infirmities, upholds my steps, and cheers my path-way to the tomb. My Beloved will be with me in the valley of the…

There is no friend like Christ! Whatever, though this year, your position may be – and I will hypothetically place it – let faith reason thus …

The Apostle’s Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the…

“…our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13) Why We Need a Prophet, a Priest, and a King Jesus leads us, serves us, and provides an example for us as a Prophet, Priest, and King—three pastoral offices established in the Old Testament and fulfilled perfectly in Jesus. In researching the topic, I came across the following concept, ultimately rooted in Scripture…

These were Job’s perplexing questions (Job 23:1-9). Sometimes they are also our questions. Where’s God? And what’s He doing? And sometimes our answers are, “I do not know. And. I do not know.” But Job provides us with better answers. God knows where I am. “He knows the way that I take” (23:10a). Although I don’t know where God is and I may not even know where I am, God…

There is no attribute more comforting to His children, than that of God’s sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials — they believe that sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all. There is nothing for which the children of God ought more earnestly…

In this meditation John Owen brings us face to face with the glorious mystery of the incarnation which we celebrate at Christmas: But had we the tongue of men and angels, we were not able in any just measure to express the glory of this condescension; for it is the most ineffable effect of the divine wisdom of the Father and of the love of the Son, — the highest evidence…

My God, Thou art all my good in times of peace, my only support in days of trouble, my one sufficiency when life shall end. Help me to see how good Thy will is in all, and even when it crosses mine teach me to be pleased in it. Grant me to feel Thee in fire, and food and every providence, and to see that Thy many gifts and creatures are but Thy hands and fingers taking…
