Perfect Love (St. John 17:26)
This chapter has often been referred to as Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer. My text is a record of the last words that concludes this prayer for His disciples. In the opening words of this prayer Jesus is praying for Himself, following which He prays for His disciples that He is leaving behind, and He further [...]
Christ’s Commission to the Church (St. John 20:21)
Comments OffChrist calls the believer to partner with Him in reaching this lost world. The church is the only institution that ministers to man’s deepest needs in this world while preparing them for the world to come. We are His witnesses commissioned to go into all the world and proclaim the message of full salvation. The [...]
The Believer’s Rest (Hebrews 4:1-11)
There seems to be a restless spirit that hangs like a pall over this age. This spirit is characteristic of a deep dissatisfaction with life. We see it in the world where there is a constant demand for change, but now we are witnessing it within the organized church. Many of this post-modern age, while [...]
The Woman at Jacob’s Well (St. John 4:1-30)
One day while the Syrian sun was beating down on the city of Samaria, Jesus sat down at the curb of Jacob’s well. The intense heat had taken its toll on Jesus as He was very weary from His journey. A Samaritan woman came to draw water from the well, and being thirsty, Jesus asked [...]

An Autobiography of Paul the Apostle
As the Apostle Paul speaks of his life, he was not vainly boasting. Rather, he is assuring both Timothy and us that any investment we may make in the kingdom of heaven will be well rewarded! Paul had sacrificed much over the course of his life to evangelize the gentile world and establish churches; but Paul expresses no regret. He is confident that he is the one who will be benefited by giving his life to the Master. In the end, we who love and serve Jesus Christ will certainly receive far more from our heavenly father than we ever could have sacrificed in a hundred lifetimes of Christian service and commitment.
Christians Should Heed Biblical Call to Consecration
Leviticus is where we find God’s directions as given to His people regarding worship and rituals such as the various sacrificial offerings. One offering was unique in that the whole animal is placed on the altar and offered as a sacrifice. This part of Old Testament ritual and worship points forward to the great biblical truth of consecration.
Paul Intentionally Pursued Close Walk With Christ
Comments OffPaul’s passion to know Jesus personally supplied him with the strength that he needed to face many trials, obstacles, perils, and even persecution. God also has the power that we need for the many trying circumstances that we face. The means to experience His fortifying power comes when we consider earthly aspirations and efforts as rubbish and intentionally pursue a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ at any cost.
Holiness: A Desirable Experience and a Beautiful Life
Comments OffThere is nothing more beautiful than holiness, more attractive than purity, or more enduring than love. These are the cardinal qualities of entire sanctification.
