Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 06 February, 2026 A.D.

"Adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things." -Titus 2:10 [KJV] What pains and expense are we at to adorn our bodies, which must shortly turn to ignoble dust: and our dwellings, which must soon be burnt up with fire? And shall we not study, and take pains to adorn the precious doctrine of our loving God and Saviour in our lives? Let gay clothing and genteel furniture reprove us for, and remind us of this duty. Let us not be like asses with long ears to hear doctrines, but slow of feet to walk in the ways of holiness.  To avoid legality, let us not run into licentiousness. This awfully prevails amongst professors in our day. They incessantly dwell on doctrines. But if you aim to reduce them into experience and practice, they cry out, O, you are as legal as an Arminian . This is really like one who should receive food into his mouth, chew it for a season, and then spit it out again: but as it passed not into the stomach to be digested, the body is not nou...

Without the Camp ~ Hebrews XIII. 3 [KJV]

"And He bearing His cross." -John 19:17 [KJV] Were grace always in lively exercise, how would every incident in the life of Jesus lead out the souls of His redeemed in endless contemplation Alas! My honoured Lord! How little do I think of Thee, and of Thy sufferings! Will Jesus, this evening, awaken me to the solemn subject? The bell of the neighbouring church is now tolling the curfew of the day. I hear it from my window. Alas! Why should I want such a call to think on my Lord! Awake, awake my soul, and let thy meditation take wing, and flee to Gethsemane, and from the garden, and the hall, behold the Lamb of God bearing His cross towards the place of execution. Oh! Pilate! Thou unjust judge! Is this thy pretended innocency, to suffer Him whom thou didst declare to be innocent, in the moment thou didst pass sentence for His death, to bear His cross also? See what long furrows the ploughers have ploughed upon His sacred back; and wilt thou compel Him to bear the...

Take Heart, friends: Almighty God is our Refiner

"Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed."   -II Corinthians 4:9 [KJV] You may be cast down by many doubts and fears, and lose the sense of the Lord's love to your soul, but you cannot lose the reality, nor is your faith destroyed by the hottest flame. It is like gold; the fire melts away and separates the dross and tin, but never touches the gold. In your hottest trials your faith will not have lost a particle. Neither will your hope be destroyed, however you may be cast down about your state or standing; for not a particle of hope, or of any one Christian grace can ever be lost.  They may seem to suffer diminution as the apostle speaks, "If a man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss"   (I Corinthians 3:15) ; but it is no real loss,—it is merely the dross taken away, that he may come forth a vessel for the (-re)finer. The work of the Holy Spirit is as indestructible as the work of Christ; and thus every grace which He ...

Perfectly Washed & Eternally Cleansed in our LORD JESUS Christ

"He who is washed, needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean."   -John 13:10 [KJV] How precious is the word of the Lord! being in great disorder of body and heaviness of soul, our Lord refreshed and comforted me with these words. Here, Christ most plainly teaches us these blessed truths:  (1st.) That every believer is washed by Him from the filth of all his sins.  (2nd.) That each and every one are equally and alike perfectly clean from all sin, in God’s sight; “not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing” (Ephesians 5:27.) — “Justified from all things before God” (Acts 13:39.) There is not one condemnation against them from God! see Romans 8:1 Therefore, (3d.) They need no other cleansing to make them acceptable to God, pure in His sight, meet to come into His presence now, and to enjoy Him to all eternity.  Rejoice, O my fellow-sinners! and thou, too, my soul! in a lowly, self-abasing, disciple washing, sin-cleansi...

The Reward of Christ JESUS' Ransom to His saints

"For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man."   -John 5:22, 27 [KJV]   Here, my soul! here is a sweet and blessed portion to take with thee, night by night, as a sleeping draught, to lie down with in holy composure; or if thou lie watchful, to give thee songs in the night. Every night is a new watchword of the night of death; and none can tell thee when thou droppest asleep, whether, in the next opening of thine eyes, thou mayest not open them in eternity, and find thyself standing before the judgrnent-seat of Christ! Dost thou not wish to be prepared for such an event, and not to leave so infinitely momentous a concern to a peradventure? Read then, again and again, this sweet scripture. I take for granted, that thou knowest Jesus; and art acquainted, yea, savingly acquainted with His glorious person, as thy Surety; and the merits of His blood a...

Be Much in Prayer unto our LORD JESUS Christ

"Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."   -John 1:17 [KJV] The way to learn truth is to be much in prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ; as you lie upon your bed, as engaged in your daily occupation, to be from time to time looking up to the Lord Himself as He sits upon His throne of grace, and be begging of Him to teach you Himself, for He is the best teacher. The words which He speaks, they "are spirit and life." What He writes upon our hearts is written in characters which will "stand every storm and live at last."  We forget what we learn from man, but we never forget what we learn from Jesus.  Men may deceive—Christ cannot. You can trust no minister really and fully. Though you may receive truth from his lips, it is always mixed with human infirmity. But what you get from the lips of Jesus, you get in all its purity and power. It comes warm from Him; it comes cold from us. It drops like the rain and distils like the dew from His mouth; it come...

The Wednesday Word ~ 04 February, 2026 A.D.

Here’s the Question , Part I by D G Miles McKee   Here’s the Question … What does it take for a believer to lose their salvation and perish? Here’s the answers…   Reason l . For a believer to become lost and perish, Christ would have to become a liar. Why? Jesus would become a liar because He promised that believers could never perish.  Listen to Him in John 10:28 “ And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."   Reason 2 . For a believer to become lost and perish, Christ would have to become a promise breaker. Afterall, He promised to never cast us out.  Listen to Him in John 6:37 where He says, “ All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me; and him that comes to Me  I will in no wise cast out.”     Reason 3.  For a believer to become lost and perish, Christ would have to leave him to his own devices. But will Christ ever leave His people?  He promised He ...
