    The close of the 46th Psalm speaks about the work and power of God. In verse 8 we read about the desolations in earth. These desolations are attributed to the power of God. Jesus, a short time before His trials and crucifixion, said to the Jewish people, “Your house is left unto you desolate” (Matt.…

    Seventy-three years ago on this day, our nation found out that one of our cities had been bombed by the naval forces of Japan. American lives lost on that day would have exceeded the number of three thousand. A nation that had been debating about whether to go to war or not, suddenly ceased its…

    Jesus came unto His own and they did not receive Him (John 1:11). It is a sad commentary on the first century world that men seeing the power of Christ and hearing His word failed to accept Him. The world indeed is without excuse when it comes to the issue of salvation through Jesus the…

    Events in Iraq point to growing hostility on the world’s stage.  This is not some civil war in that part of the world.  This is about the exertion of the will of one group over another with a view toward others.  A civil war is just that.  It is localized as one group seeks to…

    Some parts of the religious world have often taught that you cannot be saved by works. We have even had some in the church to espouse the same false idea. How then do we solve the issue? We should know that man has to have knowledge beyond himself to direct the course of his life…

    Man in sin is without God, without Christ and without hope (Eph. 2:12). This expression is made in regard to the Gentile world but it certainly describes all men who are outside of Christ. This same chapter opens up by telling us that men are dead in their trespasses and sins (verse 1). Those who…
