In Christ JESUS, Infinite Condescension & Mercy

"Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people." -Hebrews 2:17 [KJV] What heart can conceive or tongue express the infinite depths of the Redeemer's condescension in thus being made like unto His brethren—that the Son of God should assume a finite nature, subject to the sinless infirmities necessarily connected with a time state and a dwelling on earth; that He should leave the bosom of His Father in which He had lain before all worlds, and should consent to become a denizen of this world of tears; to breathe earthly air; to be an eye-witness of, and Himself share in human sorrows; to have before His eyes the daily spectacle of human sins; to be banished so long from His native home; to endure hunger, weariness, and thirst; to be subject to the persecutions of men, the flight of all His disciples, and the treacher...

Our Need of Christ JESUS

     "It is now twenty-three years since I was awakened to know the work of God upon my heart: and I feel my need of Christ more deeply at the end of these three and twenty years, than I even did when I was first drawn to Him." -Mr. Joss, in conversation, at Bristol, this day, August 23, 1775 A.D.

Audio Gospel Message ~ "Righteousness, Holiness & True Salvation"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5xweZuOxRc  Sermon preached by Henry Mahan (28 minutes) This powerful Christian sermon from Romans ch. 10 explains the difference between religion and true salvation, faith and works, and knowing God versus knowing about God. On the Lord’s Day, believers gather worldwide not out of duty, but because they believe God, delight in worship, and long for others to know Christ. This message exposes the danger of trusting in religious works and highlights the only righteousness God accepts — the righteousness of Jesus Christ.  Using Scripture from Romans 10, 1 John, Hebrews, and the Old Testament, this sermon clearly teaches:  • Why faith is essential to pleasing God  • Why religion without Christ cannot save  • How Christ fulfilled the law perfectly  • What it means to confess Jesus as Lord   • Why salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone This message is a call to abandon self-righteousness and rest fully in Ch...

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 29 October, 2026 A.D.

"Wisdom is justified of all her children."   -Luke 7:35 [KJV] “O! could I but know, and be sure, I am a child of God, I should be quite happy. The want of this makes me very uncomfortable.” Such is the language of many a doubting believer. Well, soul, here is a mark laid down: by it judge of thyself, and know thy state. Art thou a child of wisdom? If so, thou wilt justify wisdom. But what is wisdom? What is it to justify wisdom?    (1st.) Thy Saviour is “the wisdom of God” (I Corinthians 1:24.) He is not only wise to win souls, but is wisdom itself. He makes all His children wise unto salvation, by knowing Him, “of God, made unto them wisdom” (I Corinthians 1:30.) Wisdom is here arraigned, and His ways censured by the calumny of fools. He is condemned as a licentious person; a sot; an epicure; a jovial friend, and companion of wicked sinners. If you are a child of wisdom, you will also meet with the same treatment from a carnal world and self-righteous men. If you dar...

Our Kinsman-Redeemer Lives!

"I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister." - Job 17:14 [KJV] My soul, take a turn now and then to the grave. It will be profitable to look at the bed where thou art shortly to take up thy residence, before thou art sent there to remain. Nothing so profitable to allay all that heat and folly which keep men in a continual ferment, as a solemn view of "the house appointed for all living." To be sure, nothing can be more humbling than what Job here speaks of his relations: great men and nobles will not be very fond of the alliance; but in reality, all the other affinities of life are imaginary. Corruption is the common father of all. In this we all are formed; for corruption when dried, becomes the original dust it was before it was animated. And as corruption is the father, so the worm is both mother and sister; for here they burrow, and this is their proper element.    But, my soul, while thou knowest these thing...

Comfort in Christ JESUS unto Suffering Saints

"A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked." -Psalm 37:16 [KJV] Hard may be your lot here below, ye suffering saints of the most High, as regards external matters; painful may be the exercises through which you almost daily pass, through the rebellion and desperate wickedness of your carnal mind; grievous temptations may be your continual portion; many a pricking thorn and sharp brier may lie in your path; and so rough and rugged may be the road, that at times you may feel yourself of all men to be the most miserable; and so indeed you would be but for the grace of God in your heart now and the glory prepared for you beyond the grave.    Yet with it all, were your afflictions and sorrows a thousand times heavier, well may it be said of you— "Happy, thrice happy, art thou, O Israel!" Whom upon earth need you envy if you have the grace of God in your heart? With whom would you change, if ever the love of God has visited your soul? L...

The Wednesday Word ~ 28 October, 2026 A.D.

  Old Crimes Paid for in Full!   by D G Miles McKee   “But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept." -I Corinthians 15:20 An Irish graffiti artist once wrote, “God is dead, Buddha is dead, Mohammed is dead and I’m not feeling so good myself!” Even though he got it all wrong about God, he was right about the two religious leaders. In the light of this, have you ever considered that most major religions are actually following the teachings of some dead guy? But here’s some good news.  Bible Christianity is not like that. Our leader is very much alive. It’s true He was dead for three days, but He then came bursting out of the grave in resurrection power. By the way, the resurrection of Christ proves that everything Jesus ever taught was true.  Had He been a liar, He would have stayed in the grave. Not only so but the resurrection also tells us that our sins have been bought and paid for by Christ Jesus! Let me illustrate. Su...
