I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Romans 1:16; Galatians 3:28

In 1932 two Christians undertook a long journey through the Libyan desert. It took them from the north-west of Sudan through Egypt to the far east of Libya. A caravan of fourteen camels transported their luggage: food, indispensable water and a precious freight of Bibles and new Testaments in Arabic.

These messengers of the gospel had just reached the oasis of Siva, when a sheik approached them and scrutinised one of them. Did he perhaps know them? And did he want to prevent Bibles being offered in the oasis?

The Arab then addressed the Christian: "May I ask you a question? Aren't you the man who sells books?" - "Yes, I am. But I do not know you." - "Weren't you in the oasis of Kharga? Perhaps you remember the bookshop there and the sheik who bought parts of the Bible from you. I am that man. I have read these tracts so often that I know them by heart."

The two then spoke about the Word of God and Jesus Christ for quite a long time. Two years later the colporteur received a letter from that Arab that began with the words: "My brother in Christ"!

Since then 88 years have passed, but the gospel has lost nothing of its power. It can still change a person's heart and life thoroughly

Today's reading: Jeremiah 28:1-17 Â· Romans 3:21-31

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

Read:
that when he cried to the Lord, the Lord healed him. This is another testimony of someone who believed in the God that answers prayers. May prayer for someone using this devotional is that as you cry unto God today, He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah in Jesus'...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
