Response to Persecution; October 1, 2025
Acts 8:4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Just like the apostles in yesterday’s reading, the “ordinary believers,” on being scattered by persecution, continued to do the very thing that had provoked the persecution! The pressure … Continue reading

Spiritual Warfare; September 24, 2025
John 9:33 “If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” I have always loved this story of the man born blind. That he was totally uneducated goes without saying, given his physical handicap. However, there was nothing wrong … Continue reading

Martyrdom; September 17, 2025
Luke 13:17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing. I can’t help but notice the many parallels between Jesus and Charlie Kirk. There is considerable risk … Continue reading

God’s Care for His Children; August 25, 2025
Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word:“Your own people who hate you, and exclude you because of my name, have said,‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy!’ Yet they will be put to shame.” God never forgets … Continue reading

Being Attacked; August 16, 2025
Isiah 54:17 “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,”declares the Lord. On the one hand, we see massacres of Christians in places … Continue reading

Reproduction; August 7, 2025
Isaiah 35:10 And those the Lord has rescued will return.They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. A musical setting for this is echoing in my mind and heart as I … Continue reading

Opposition; February 10, 2024
1 John 3:13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. This one little verse jumped out at me as I read just now. It seems to me that many American Christians are shocked at the opposition … Continue reading

The Power of the Cross; November 10, 2023
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. The moment I read this just now it struck me that … Continue reading

Truth and Lies; October 17, 2023
Acts 21:36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Away with him!” The whole story of Paul’s arrest is a perfect example of the reality that you can’t reason with terrorists or mobs. The “Jews from the province of Asia” (verse … Continue reading

Berean Believers; October 10, 2023
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. This is a well-known verse, … Continue reading
