The Deceitfulness of Sin

  Happiness, contentment, joy, rest and peace surely are sweet words, and things which all men and women desire and seek after to some degree. It is amazing how Satan, through the deceitfulness of sin, keeps men and women pursuing vanities and lies in their quest for these coveted qualities of life; and thinking them to always lie just ahead… a few more years… just a little longer now, etc. Many young folk expect to find this quality of life merely by growing up and becoming their own bosses. Many parents expect to find it when their children are grown up, settled and provided for. Many businessmen expect to find it when they can retire and travel, fish, hunt, etc. The inordinately ambitious man expects to find it when he has gained power and reputation. The covetous man expects to find it by gaining enough money to satisfy his greed. The lover of pleasures expects to find it when he has experienced his fill of earthly games and entertainments.

The Life Preserver

Someone said, “It is not the life buoy on board the ship that saves the man who is drowning, nor is it his belief that the buoy is able to save! No! He must have the buoy around his body, or his hand upon it, or he will perish.” It will not save my soul only to know that Christ is the Saviour (though this I must know) or that His atonement is sufficient to save. I must trust and embrace Him by faith. There must be, as Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:12, a COMMITTAL to Christ Jesus. By faith I rest my weary, troubled, and sinful soul on Christ alone. - Gospel report by preacher Henry T.

"But the anointing which ye have received of H im abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in H im." - I JOHN 2:27 [KJV] Have you ever had a solitary drop of this holy anointing oil fall upon your heart? One drop, if it be but a drop, will sanctify you for ever to the service of God. There was not much of the holy anointing oil used for the service of the tabernacle, when we consider the size and quantity of what had to be consecrated, for Moses had to anoint therewith the whole of the tabernacle of the congregation, as well as all the vessels, with all their various appurtenances. When he went through the sacred work, he touched one vessel after another with a drop of oil; for one drop sanctified the vessel to the service of the tabernacle. There was no repetition of the consecration wanted; it abode. So if you e...
