A CHILD-LIKE FAITH
(Jim McDonald)John 9 records the story of a blind man to whom Jesus gave sight, the consequence of which was that not only did the man have the blessedness of precious sight, but the miracle Jesus worked on him produced a trusting faith which was child-like in its nature.
The faith of this man is like a “breath of fresh air” to the reader. How welcome it is after seeing the behavior of others who, if they did have…

JESUS, A MAN OF PRAYER
H. E. Phillips (1916-2000)
Jesus Christ gave the world a perfect example of walking with God and talking to God. No man can walk with God who does not talk to Him and hear (obey) His word. Most people today look upon prayer as a tool for the poor, hungry, suffering, diseased and hopeless. People who have reasonable health and security, a good job and comfortable home surroundings have little use for prayer except for the common ritual when…

The Apostle John sent messages to the seven churches in Asia in the second chapter of Revelation. If we set the context and look at Revelation 1:20: “As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches.”
The church in Ephesus (Rev. 2:1-7)

How would we know spiritual maturity when we see it?
Growth in Knowledge and Understanding
As 1 Peter 2:1 implies, exposure to the word of…

Paul admonished Timothy to avoid foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they breed quarrels – 2 Tim.2:23. The next three verses set forth a fourfold mind-set of self-control for every true servant of the Lord, both for preachers and for every member of the body.
1. “The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone,” To follow Jesus we must learn to be like Him, gentle and humble in heart. Zechariah prophesied, “Behold, your king is coming to you;… Humble, and mounted on a donkey –” (9:9). Our goal must always be to bring one from darkness to light…

Contrary to what you may have heard, there are actually more than 150 Psalms in the Bible! Before you throw stones, let me tell you that the psalm I am referencing is found in Habakkuk 3. It is written in the same poetic style of the other psalms, with the same notations that are characteristic of the other psalms, even referencing a “Chief Musician.” The principal differences are that it was written later than most of the other Psalms (near the fall of Judah) and it is, obviously, not located in the book of Psalms. But…
