 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”  Matthew 16:24-25 What is it to be a Christian?  There are many different ideas about that.  Some say a Christian is someone who has been baptized.  Some say a Christian is someone who goes to church.  Some say a Christian is someone who believes in God.  Some people believe that they are Christian because their parents are Christians.  Some believe a Christian is someone who is simply tolerant and loving.  But the truth of the matter is that you can be all of the above, and still not be a Christian. We have known several people through the years who were both baptized and churchgoers, but who lived unregenerate lives.  They’d be in church on Sunday, but would live like hell the rest of the week....

by the Rev. Dr. Kenneth C. Kemble “And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.  And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.”   Revelation 4:6-7 “Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.  And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings . . . As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.”  Ezekiel 1:5-6, 10 Before the Throne of the LORD are the four beasts and the living creatures.  They are ever before the LORD, and shall not ever cease to be there. To God, t...

We find the first mention of the Stone of Witness in Genesis chapter 28, where we read the account of our father Jacob when he had the night vision of the ladder that ascended up to heaven.  In that vision, he received assurance that God was with him and would bless him mightily. “I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.  And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.  And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.”   Genesis 28:13-16 Jacob called the n...

There is an old song that goes “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?  Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble!” If you had been there that dreadful day, watching our Lord and Master as He hung there, stripped and bleeding upon that cruel cross — what would you have done? Would you have run away and hidden as so many of His disciples had done?  They ran for fear of their lives.  They had followed Him, and for all they knew, they would die with Him.  This one who had given such words of wisdom and hope!  How could this be happening? Would you have disassociated yourself from Him as sharply as Peter had done earlier that day?  He vehemently denied the charge that He knew Christ, and then trembled in horror and disgrace as he heard the cock crow, for His Lord had foretold it. Would you have gathered around to witness this dreadful scene?  There were indeed those who were His followers in the crowd.  These were not scared off by this tragic scene....

 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”   2 Chronicles 7:14 The reason our people are in the mess we’re in is not the politicians.  The political scene today is just a result of the real problem, which is that God’s people have turned away from Him. Like lost sheep we have gone astray, and things will never be right again unless we do what is needed and what is prescribed in the above verse of Scripture.  It is perhaps the most important Scripture of our day.  It may be an old familiar verse to the reader, but please . . . read it again . . . with fresh eyes. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall . . . humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”   2 Chro...

“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.  He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.  Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; and hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant.  Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; when ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.  And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”   1 Chronicles 16:11-22 God covenanted with Abraham, and that co...
