LOVE ONE ANOTHER »

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:11-12) Christian, by the love that God has manifested to you, you are bound to love your fellow […]

OBEDIENCE IN LITTLE THINGS »

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Matthew 25:21) Little things for Christ are often the best tests of the truth of our religion. Obedience in […]

CHRISTIAN, THE LORD HEARS YOU »

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer: and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24) Remember, the throne of grace is near at hand. You have not to travel far to reach it: no lengthy and painful journey; no wearisome and mortifying pilgrimage. It is near at […]

SIN »

The Psalmist said, “Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words” (Psalm 51:4). Sin is a wicked and grievous thing that the flesh does not want to deal with. When people are pressed by the Spirit of God about […]

THE OLDEST LIE–PRIDE »

Apprising Ministries has often told you about “contexualization,” i.e. attempting to make “the Gospel relevant” to a postmodern culture and a postChristian nation. But, 1) the original liberals already tried that with their “modern theology” attempting to cobble together a form of Christianity for their modern culture. And, 2) the United States was never a […]

TRUST AND OBEY »

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 15:13) The golden lesson is that you trust him. If all power is his, lean on him. We do not lean on Christ enough. He will never sink […]

WHEN THE WORD COMES WITH POWER »

God is essentially invisible. “He dwells in the light which no man can approach unto, Whom no man has seen, nor can see.” (1 Tim. 6:16) When, therefore, He would make himself known to the sons of men, it must be by His works or by His Words. The first way of making His power and glory […]

CHRISTIAN, THE LORD HAS ORDAINED YOUR STEPS »

He knows the way that I take. (Job 23:10) Untried, untrodden, and unknown as your future path may be, it is, each step, mapped, arranged, and provided for in the everlasting and unchangeable covenant of God. To Him who leads us, who accepts us in the Son of His love, who knows the end from […]

FAITH’S TWIN »

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10) Perhaps you have the notion that repentance is a thing that happens at the commencement of the spiritual life and has to be gone through as one undergoes a certain operation, and there […]

LAY HOLD AND GROW »

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (2 Peter 3:18) How is eternal life grasped? Well, it is laid hold of by faith as Christ. It is a very simple thing to trust the Lord Jesus Christ, […]
