No Excuses Needed

Because the pastor of the church said that there was just no one else available to help him with what needed to be done that day, and you could tell by the tenor of his voice how important it was to him, you agreed to assist him. But when you got home and informed your wife about these new plans, she reminded you of something that you had completely forgotten about, and how important it was to her on that day for you to be with her. What do you do? You really only have one choice you know, someone is going to be left on their own that day. “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” (Prov. 18:22) Your value systems my friends are easily recognized by those closest to you, by those who know you the best, and the decisions you

Are You Done Yet?

Alright, are you done? Can I get back to what I was doing, the task at hand? That is what the mind that serves Christ says many times a day to the flesh that serves the law of sin, our old Adamic nature. Its lusts and desires, its wants and cravings encroach, sometimes forcefully, sometimes slowly with great subtlety upon the work at hand, the continual glorifying of the Lord Jesus Christ in our thoughts, doing everything within its power to keep us from 2nd Corinthians 10:5. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Many, if not most Christians will refuse to accept the truth of this constant battle, seeing themselves when their old nature rises to the surface as, if not wicked and utterly sinful, then less than what they

Just A Normal Day

My beautiful wife reads from an old Hymnal from the 1800’s for us every morning. After she has finished, I begin to write these letters to you, then, after they are completed, I read for a few minutes usually from one of my books, or in the Psalms. A good portion of my day is spent working on the Borrowed Truths videos, interspersed with reading from another of my books, along with coming back down these stairs to write again later in the day. During supper we discuss portions of another of my books that I have highlighted certain portions of, and then after supper, once again my lovely wife reads from a devotional for us. Then I again work on the next video for a while and fall asleep many nights reading my Bible on the coach or the chair. During the day, whenever possible, I speak to those

Jealousy

“I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.” (Romans 11:11) Noah pleaded with those in his day for one hundred and twenty years that those in his time would heed the truth revealed to him by the Almighty. But I can recall very few if any places in the Scriptures where the children of Israel sent missionaries out into the known world in an attempt to reach them for the glory of God. In fact, even the Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples not to go to the Gentiles. If one came to them in the Old Testament times, they were welcomed, with extreme limitations, Rahab and Ruth are good examples of this. But it makes me wonder, which was the overriding factor, that they did not want to
