"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.” ‘Ma...

"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...

Redemption’s theme will be my song, Both now and through the ages. The worthy Lamb, His finished work, The theme of all my praises. “Behold the Lamb,” the precious Lamb, Without a spot or blemish. None can in all they say or do, His perfect Self diminish. God’s Lamb He is in all He does, The sacrifice once offered, His own shall never die in sin, Since He for them has suffered. That precious blood so freely shed, For sinners vile and hopeless, Is sure for all His chosen ones, In Jesus Christ the Righteous. “Redeemed to God” now loud we sing, The payment just and right, Now not our own but His alone, All clothed in glory bright.   8.7 8.7  Tune: St. Columba Written by preacher Gary Shepard

“ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night... ” -P SALM 91:5 [KJV] What is this terror? It might be the cry of fire, or the noise of thieves, or the shriek of sudden death! We live in the world of death and sorrow. This should not alarm us, for be the terror what it may—the promise is that the believer shall not be afraid. Why should he? God our Father is here—and will be here all through the lonely hours. He is an almighty Watcher, a sleepless Guardian, a faithful Friend! Nothing can happen without His direction, for even Hell itself is under His omnipotent control. Darkness is not dark to Him. He has promised to be a wall of fire around His people—and who can break through such a barrier? Worldlings might well be afraid, for they have . . . an angry God above them, a guilty conscience within them, and a yawning Hell beneath them! But we who rest in Jesus are saved from all these, through His rich mercy. “But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O J...

"My soul followeth hard after T hee." -P SALM 63:8 [KJV] The Lord (we would speak with reverence) does not suffer Himself at first to be overtaken. The more the soul follows after Him, the more He seems to withdraw Himself, and thus He draws it more earnestly on the pursuit. He means to be overtaken in the end: it is His own blessed work in the conscience to kindle earnest desires and longings after Himself; and therefore He puts strength into the soul, and "makes the feet like hinds' feet" to run and continue the chase. But in order to whet the ardent desire, to kindle to greater intensity the rising eagerness, the Lord will not suffer Himself to be overtaken till after a long and arduous pursuit. This is sweetly set forth in the Song of Solomon, 5:2-8. We find there the Lord coming to His bride; but she is unwilling to open to Him till "he puts his hand in by the hole of the door." She would not rise at His first knocking, an...

How wonderful is Christ’s administration in His kingdom of grace. He is present with all His creatures—but in a special manner with His own people—each of whom are monuments of His saving power. For He finds them all in a state of rebellion and enmity—and makes them His willing people. From the moment that He reveals His love to them—He espouses their cause, and takes all their concerns into His own hands. He is near and attentive to every one of them—as if there were only that one. This high and lofty One, who inhabits eternity, before whom the angels veil their faces—condescends to hold communion with those whom men despise. He passes by the kings and the princes—to manifest Himself to a humble soul in a mud-walled cottage. He ...comforts them when in trouble, strengthens them when weak, makes their beds in sickness, revives them when fainting, and upholds them when falling. He so wisely and effectually manages for them, that, though they are persecuted and tempted, tho...
