I am so thankful for the precious promises of victory in Christ that are ours. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” 1 Cor. 15:57; Rom. 8:37. There is no need to be defeated and beaten down—victory …
Once again I am battling jet lag, having recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo, but as I think of how the Lord has been working in the unreached fields of the Congo, I am happy to take a few days to get my days and nights aligned better. Mike Bauler and I spent three weeks traveling, observing the …
By faith we know that the time is coming when the earth will be “lightened with his glory” and that “Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” (Rev. 18:1; Isa. 60:3) How we look forward with joy to this time, but is there an experience that God is calling us into before He …
As I have been studying recently the great blessing that God has given to us in the ministry of the heavenly angels, I have realized that we do not fully appreciate their earnest warfare for us. “We need to understand better than we do the mission of the angels.

Not only does …
I am so thankful to the Lord for the many blessings that He continually showers upon us every morning. One of the greatest blessings that God has given to us, as His people, is the prophetic gift. We have the unlimited treasure trove within the Word of God, but God has done even more. He has given to us the …
As hard as it is to imagine, 2010 is almost gone. It seems like just yesterday when the new year was ushered in, but now another year has almost passed into eternity. Under the Levitical system, with the work of the harvest completed but before the planting and work of the new agricultural cycle began, there was the blowing of …
As the days are growing progressively shorter, it reminds me of Jesus’ words, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” John 9:4. As the literal daylight becomes less and less, how much so is the day of opportunity to work out our own salvation and …
How much do we really want Jesus to come? Are we tired of this world with its burden of sin? What efforts are we putting forth to hasten the coming of the Messiah?
