My Utmost for His Highest. "Lord, I will follow Thee; but . . ." Luke 9:61 Supposing God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense, what are you going to do? Hang back? If you get into the habit of doing a thing in the physical domain, you will do it every time until you break the habit determinedly; and the same is true spiritually. Read More...

The Answer For Evil. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 53:1) How it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik revolution? 'Men have forgotten God' - that's why all this happened. All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: Without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn 1. |

The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of power. It was this power, through the ministry of the word that was either taught or preached to us and the Holy Ghost convicted us of our sin and we repented. Praise God for His power!
We must not fear the power of God, because His power is consistent with His holy character. As we already know He's all powerful, but He's also infinitely love, mercy, and justice. God doesn't do things haphazardly. He is wisdom is personfied. Neither does He do evil because He is the epitomey of goodness. We talk about blue Monday but this doesn't happen to God. He is not like you and me, He's God. We want power but don't want the character of God that would control that power. We would love to have what God has without being what God is. Read (John 13:12) our Lord here shows or demonstrates His power by bowing and washing His disciples feet. It has been said, "His was great power with a towel on His arm," Wow! Read (1 Corinthians 1:18) to those who are perishing in sin preaching is foolish. Oh! Praise God for His power and His word. Together with Christ, Pastor Durden |
