  • The One on the cross

    The One on the cross
    2026/08/04
    It’s not the cross that’s the important thing, it’s the One who died on the cross. After all, there could have been 300 crosses erected there that day of men that were crucified. But it’s the value of the One who died upon that cross for the sins of the world. And to remind us that we “were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from our vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of as a lamb without spot and blemish.” We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ.

  • Bridging the chasm

    Bridging the chasm
    2026/08/05
    There is all of this lax and loose thinking about God today. God is only approached as a holy God, and we only come as sinners to Him. Now, my friends, when you have that great chasm between, you have to have something to bridge it. And you and I just don’t have enough goodness to do it. You and I can’t bridge it. The only thing that will bridge it is the one who came from heaven’s glory and died on the cross for us and made a way. And He says “I am the way” and that “no man cometh to the Father but by me.”

  • Joined to the living Christ

    Joined to the living Christ

    God is speaking now to the nation, and He’s saying to the nation, “I want you to be holy because I am holy.” God is asking them in their daily life, they’re to be holy. We’re told today “whether we eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” And “if any man’s in Christ today, he is a new creation” or “there is a new creation.” That means that we today, that just more than in little habits, that we’re joined to the living Christ and old things have passed away. We’re no longer joined to a legal system, but joined to Christ and we’re to seek to please Him today.

  • Love over duty

    Love over duty
    2026/08/07
    Now God has saved you, friends. Now, don’t misunderstand me. When God saves you by grace, He doesn’t save you with the idea that He puts you in debt. Grace does not put anyone in debt. And I personally disagree with that song that puts words in the mouth of the Lord Jesus He never said. “I gave, I gave my life for thee. What hast thou done for Me?” What He’s saying is He saved you by grace; that doesn’t put you in debt. But He did save you, didn’t He? And don’t you love Him? And now you are to do this. Why? Because it’s your duty? No, because you love Him. Because you love Him and you want to please Him.

  • No other rock

    No other rock
    2026/08/19
    “But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; the ruin of that house was great.” I’ll tell you what this does for me as I read this particular passage here. It reveals to me that I’m a sinner before God. The Lord Jesus in giving this reveals to me that I’m a sinner and that I need a Savior. And there is a rock, though, on which I can build, and that rock is Christ. Paul said, “No other foundation can any man lay than that which is laid,” and that is Jesus Christ.

  • Faith that saves

    Faith that saves
    2026/08/20
    Our Lord said to this old hypocritical Pharisee, this religious ruler—“In the light of heaven and by God’s standards and on the basis of sins forgiven, this woman is 10,000 times better than you are. This woman, a prostitute who has come and asked for forgiveness has been saved. But you, a church member; you who think that you are all right, you’re lost.” I say to you that this is very pertinent for today. “And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” And she didn’t have good works, but she believed in Him. She trusted Him. She asked for forgiveness. My friends, that’s the important thing.

  • Lose your religion, gain salvation

    Lose your religion, gain salvation
    2026/08/21
    Many anthologies of religion give the founders of religion. They put down Buddha, and they put down Mohammad, and then put down Moses, and then they put down Jesus. Now Jesus is not the founder of any religion. That may seem strange to some of you. He didn’t found a religion. He died on the cross for the sins of the world. He’s a Savior. And today, why, you’re not saved by religion. You’re saved by Christ. I remember hearing old Dr. Carrol say, “When I came to Christ, I lost my religion.” And a great many people need to lose their religion and find Christ.

  • He chooses

    He chooses
    2026/08/18
    “And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” This is remarkable. He considered it important to pray all night to God. Why? Well, for the very simple reason that He was going to choose these twelve men, and even one of those turned out to be a traitor. And you have here the calling and choosing of the apostles, therefore. And He spent the entire night in prayer before making His choice. God’s men are always chosen. Oh, they’re candidates to be sure, but you remember He said in the Gospel of John, “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you.”
