I GIVE UP! by Dr. Paul Tripp
The Psalmist continues: "Who shall dwell on your holy hill ... [the person] who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent." (Psalm 15:5) The person being described in this...
KNOWING GOD by Pastor Scott Henry
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3) Whoever does not know God does not have everlasting life. Because Adam sinned, all earthly fathers bring forth children who have physical life,...
GROW IN GRACE by Pastor Scott Henry
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen” (2 Peter 3:18). Hebrews 5:13-14: “For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid...
NOURISHMENT FOR THE BELIEVER’S SOUL by Pastor Scott Henry
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). The only thing that can satisfy the longing in our soul is the Word of God. So often we are discontent with our possessions and when we obtain more in order to satisfy the longing in our...
SALVATION ONLY IN JESUS by Pastor Scott Henry
“Nor is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name given under heaven among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). As far as earning your place in heaven, your “good” works count for nothing! They are, as Isaiah said, “Filthy rags!” (Isaiah 64:6)...

CHARLES SPURGEON & CHRIST-LIKE RESPONSES TO CRITICS by Vance Christie
When Charles Spurgeon skyrocketed to prominence in London as a young preacher in his early twenties, he had many critics. Not a few of his detractors were Christians. One of those was the Rev. James Wells of Surrey Tabernacle, an eminent minister who was then at the...
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES by J.C. RYLE
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of...
IS THE REFORMATION OVER? By Dr. RC Sproul
Is the Reformation over? There have been several observations rendered on this subject by those I would call “erstwhile evangelicals.” One of them wrote, “Luther was right in the sixteenth century, but the question of justification is not an issue now.” A second...
JESUS NOT ONLY DIED FOR US, HE LIVED FOR US by Dr. RC Sproul
We must see that the righteousness of Christ that is transferred to us is the righteousness He achieved by living under the Law for thirty-three years without once sinning. Jesus had to live a life of obedience before His death could mean anything. He had to acquire,...
