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. |

It can never be said enough, God's Word is a "lamp to our feet a light to our path." The brazen altar had horns on its four corners. These horns represent strength and power according to the following scriptures; Dan. 8:5,9; Deut. 33:17; Joshua 6:4,5 and 1 Sam. 2:1,13.
These horns point in a symbolic fashion to Christ and are found in the expression "horn of salvation," meaning a salvation of strength (Luke 1:69). Please understand that our salvation is based on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is solid, firm, and as a matter of fact it can never be defeated. We may deny it, but the salvation plan of God will never be defeated. In Romans 1:16, Paul made this powerful statement, "for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ". I say "wow," the gospel message of the shed blood of Jesus Christ is heaven's atomic power to those who love and serve our Lord. If there was no death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ there is no salvation plan and each of us would be doomed to a devil's hell. A dead Christ cannot save anybody, but a living Christ that has conquered death, hell, and the grave will save all people that call upon his name! Praise God, because He lives we live, and we can face anything that comes our way.
