Dear Ones: How simple is faith? Someone has said that the Gospel of John is so deep that an elephant can bathe in it, and shallow, safe enough for a child to play in its shallows. Is this not the case with faith? We find children in the old testament and the new who had…
Dear Ones: What was the purpose of the Lord giving to David the 23rd Psalm? Was it not to reveal to us through the insight and experience of David how we can KNOW God? Throughout Scripture, the Lord in His goodness reveals to us pictures of what it means to know Him, to experience Him. …
Dear Ones: Everything about the Christian life is a miracle, and this, because it has its origin, essence, and accomplishment in God. He is the author, architect, builder, even the very essence of all accomplished in us that is “good.” James tells us: “Every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh…

Dear Ones: The apostle Paul, in addressing the Corinthian church, once asked, “Is Christ divided?” (1 Cor. 1:13) Of course, the answer to the question is “No.” Believers in the body of Christ may “think” that He is divided, because they are by their attitudes, but He is NEVER divided.

Dear Ones: As far as we know, when John the Apostle wrote the book of the Revelation, he was alone. He had been exiled to the Isle of Patmos, and though he would certainly have contact with individuals from time to time, he was, for all intents and purposes, “dead to the world.” It is…
