If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. This beautiful hymn was composed by Will Thompson who lived from 1847 to 1909. The words seem to capture the heart of the listener and draw us to come to Jesus. You can almost picture Jesus Himself standing patiently urging us to come to Him. He not only pleads for us to come, but he offers complete pardon to anyone and everyon

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”    Many years ago I sat enthralled as I listened to Rev. Tim Lahaye speak on the rapture of the church. It later became the topic of his book series and movie which we know as  Left Behind. I am convinced that there will come a day when the Lord will call His church to meet Him in the air, and so shall we ever be with Hi

The giants of the faith never claimed to be perfect. In fact they have been quick to admit they are constantly in need of God’s redeeming grace.  All we like sheep have g

The gripers, moaners, and fault finders of the world are generally composed of those who are just sitting on God

Let me ask you a few questions: How many other disciples got out of the boat to take a single step? How many people since that d

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” There have been times in my life when I felt isolated and alone. When I experienced these times of spiritual drought I was prone to wonder if Jesus really cared. Even though I am usually happy and optimistic, I have felt the enemy of my soul attack. It is during these times that I rush to God’s Word for comfort. Frank E. Gr

There is much more that can be derived by a further study in the book of Acts, but I will leave that up to your own study. I will give you a
