In many practical matters of life moderation or...

Jesus said ..., I am the way, the truth, and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6.

In many practical matters of life moderation or "the golden mean" is advisable, and rightly so. However, there are issues in which any thought of taking a neutral position is out of the question. When it is a matter of eternal truths and the way to seek God, there are no alternatives. In Matthew 7 the Lord Jesus Christ speaks of

a broad and a narrow way,
a wide and a narrow gate,
a bad and a good tree,
a foolish and a wise man,
a house built on sand and one built on a rock
In a conversation with a 17-year old lad the question arose as to whether he was saved. "Not exactly," he said. "So you are lost?" I inquired. "No, no that either!" he replied. When I showed him from the examples just quoted that he was either saved or lost, he answered, "I don't agree with you."

We must have the courage to look reality in the face, and accept what God's Word says. If I am not saved, then I am lost. If my pathway does not lead to heaven, then it can only lead to hell.

The cross of Christ is the line of demarcation, separating people into two groups. On one side are those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord; they are the redeemed. On the other side we find all who do not believe and have not acknowledged their guilt before God.

One is either a child of God or an enemy of God. It is impossible to walk on two paths at the same time. And in this matter there is no middle way.

Today's reading: Genesis 18:16-33 Â· Jude vv. 17-25

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

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

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
