Over the last few years, one cannot help but to wonder how long the world system will continue as its political institutions are falling apart and failing. Uncertainty and perplexity fill men’s hearts with fear; man is looking around for answers and some stability, world leaders gathered in many summit and United Nations gatherings and meetings to find solutions or agreements to stop war and suffering of many people in many nations. Many countri...

The Son of Man

Hands cupping water

A Man According to God Each of the four Gospels has its own purpose. In Matthew the Lord meets the Jew as the Messiah. In Mark He meets a needy world as the Servant of that need. In Luke He meets the human family, to speak with them as the Son of Man. In John He meets the church or heavenly family as the Son of the Father, to train them for their heavenly home. “Son of Man” is a title of very extensive meaning. It expresses man in...

The Fruit of Righteousness

Tree full of fruit in a sunny field

Righteousness is spoken of in different ways in Scripture, and it is essential for us to realize this if we are to understand God’s thoughts on this subject. There is God’s standard of righteousness to which man in the flesh can never attain, for God has said, “There is none righteous, no, not one.” Only One, the blessed Son of God in flesh, completely answered to God’s will; His every thought, word, and action being for God’s glory...

It furnishes a graphic description of the greatness and majesty of God. The closing words, however, although addressed to God’s ancient people, are equally applicable to us today. “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as...

Christ Our Resource!

Careful about nothing, and prayerful and thankful in everything, is the true attitude of those who know God towards circumstances in this world; and what a life of blessed contentment and peace would this condition of things yield. But it is not natural for any one of us to be thus superior to circumstances, and it may be asked: Is it possible? The Scriptures not only give us the most blessed precepts and exhortations, hut th...

Explain Me!

Everyone admitted that this atheist lecturer was extremely intelligent. In debates, he could generally make his opponent, however brilliant, trip himself up and look utterly ridiculous. His arguments were subtly convincing, and his ability to mislead his hearers was proven by the spread of atheism wherever he lectured. One evening he was giving a lecture in a large university near a mining town in South Africa. The college...
