Devotional “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 John 3:4 The Bible warns that “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), and “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20). These are strange days, however, and there are many “that call evil [...]

Devotional "Go, and sin no more." John 8:11 The trial of the woman taken in adultery demonstrates Christ's power to cancel the guilt of sin. The law, represented by the accusing Pharisees, is swift to condemn, but Christ, who came to redeem sinners from the law, here shows that He can silence all [...]

Devotional “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11 The 16th Psalm contains the Bible’s first reference to the resurrected Christ at the “right hand” of His heavenly Father, and this is important, for there [...]

Devotional For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your reward. Isaiah 52:12  Security from Yesterday. “God requireth that which is past.” At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that [...]

Devotional "The Lord taketh pleasure in His people." Psalm 149:4 How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part of His people's interests which He does not consider, and there is nothing which concerns their welfare which is not important to Him. Not merely does He think of you, believer, as [...]

Devotional “Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.” (Acts 15:14) Our English word “visit” has come to mean a social call, but not so in the Greek, where it can mean to inspect, to look upon in order [...]

Devotional Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Romans 10:1 We tend to regard certain people as being “beyond hope” and assume they must, of necessity, continue in their grooves as they are and die unrepentant and unredeemed. We just shake our heads over [...]

Devotional “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” (Colossians 3:1) The wise believer revels in the fact of Christ’s resurrection. Some things in Scripture may be easier to identify with and apply, including Christ’s substitutionary death, but it [...]

Devotional “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:27 Bearing one’s cross means something quite different from bearing the ordinary burdens and troubles of life. These are common to all men, but the privilege of taking up and carrying the cross is the unique [...]

Devotional How constantly our Master used the title, the "Son of man!" If He had chosen, He might always have spoken of Himself as the Son of God, the Everlasting Father, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Prince of Peace; but behold the lowliness of Jesus! He prefers to call Himself the Son of [...]

Devotional "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love." John 15:9 As the Father loves the Son, in the same manner Jesus loves His people. What is that divine method? He loved Him without beginning, and thus Jesus loves His members. "I have loved thee [...]

Devotional “Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.” Genesis 31:24 The vulnerability of men to the attacks of others has been amply demonstrated in history. Monarchs, emperors, and presidents have all fallen at the hands of assassins, despite the most careful and thorough attempts to protect them. The [...]
