by Jim Hughes Prov. 28:13 People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess and forsake them, they will receive mercy. It has never worked and it never will. Whenever we try to cover over our sins we make a mess of things and our lives. We may be […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Knowing that tribulation worketh patience” (Romans 5:3). This is a promise in essence if not in form. We have need of patience, and here we see the way of getting it. It is only by enduring that we learn to endure, even as by swimming men learn to swim. You […]

Lewis put forth these three possibilities: Jesus Christ was either a liar of the highest order, a delusional madman, or a exactly what He claimed to be: God made Man.

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ABIDES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you” (1 Peter 1:25). All human teaching and, indeed, all human beings shall pass away as the grass of the meadow; but we are here assured that the Word of the LORD […]

by Suzanne D. Williams I got it into my head to buy a few paperbacks. I like the feel and weight of them. They are a tangible link to my youth and the old-fashioned idea of owning a book. Backing up a few weeks … my grandmother’s sister gave me her collection of Eugenia […]
