"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

“ When our God sent the flood, the whole world perished except those happy ones who were found in the ark. Even so, there is only ONE WAY of salvation for all persons living under heaven. There is only one name whereby they can be saved. Would you be saved, rich man? There is no way except that way whereby the poorest pauper is also to be saved. Would you be delivered, O man of intelligence? You must be saved in the same way as the most ignorant! There were not two arks, only one. So there are not two saviors, only one Savior! There was no other means of salvation except the ark; so "there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved," except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” - Gospel report by preacher Henry T.

My friend Keith Lamb in his delightful book ‘Failed yet Forgiven’ says “There are three phases of anticipation of the coming of the Lord in the New Testament scriptures. Them that Wait for Him [II THESSALONIANS 3:5; I CORINTHIANS 1:7 ] . Them that Look for Him [ PHILIPPIANS 3:20; H EBREWS 9:28 ] . Them that Love His appearing [II TIMOTHY 4:8 ] . May we learn to not only wait and look for His return but also to love the very thought of it. Jesus is coming back soon. How soon? We don’t know …but we are expecting Him.  For how long should we expect Him? Till He comes [I CORINTHIANS 11:12 & 16:22 ] . ‘Till He comes’ could well be the motto and watchword for the church. In fact, the early Christians loved the truth of the Lord’s return so much that they greeted each other with the Aramaic word maranatha . What did that word ‘maranatha’ mean? Simply translated, maranatha means “the Lord is coming back.” ‘Marana

"Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the L ORD ." -L AMENTATIONS 3:39, 40 [KJV] I believe in my conscience there are thousands of professors who have never known in the whole course of their religious profession what it is to have "searched and tried their ways;" to have been put into the balances and weighed in the scales of divine justice; or to have stood cast and condemned in their own feelings before God as the heart-searching Jehovah. From such a trying test, from such an unerring touchstone they have ever shrunk. And why? Because they have an inward consciousness that their religion will not bear a strict and scrutinizing examination. Like the deceitful tradesman, who allures his customers into a dark corner of his shop, in order to elude detection when he spreads his flimsy, made-up goods before them, so those who have an inward consciousness that th
