Wilberforce #2 An Indomitable Spirit

From the beginning to end, this is a remarkable and powerful story. In his deep conviction, his perseverance, his industry, and his imagination, William Wilberforce provides an unparalleled example of true Christian service in a fallen world. Despite the allurements of power and position, of friends and family, and every sort of distraction the world could offer, Wilberforce gave himself to his cause and became for us a model of selfless endurance against every sort of adversity. In later years...

Philippians #19 Anger and Joy

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh— Phil 3:1-4 Can we be talking about rejoicing in...

William Wilberforce #1 “The George Washington of Humanity”

 Unless the divine power has raised you for such a time as Athanasius contra mundum (Athanasius against the world), I see not how you can go through your glorious enterprise in opposing that execrable villainy, which is the scandal of religion, of England, and of human nature. Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you who can be against you?...

Philippians #18 Joy and Fanatcism

It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those men...

Philippians #17 Rejoice!

I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend to every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how much I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. George Mueller   Finally, my brothers, rejoice in...

Deceived!

“People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.” Otto Von Bismarck “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.” ...

Philippians #16 Honor Men Like Him

  But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. Therefore I am...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer #5 Believers in a Den of Liberals

Do not try to make the Bible relevant. Its relevance is axiomatic. Do not defend God’s Word, but testify to it. Trust the Word. It is a ship loaded to the very limits of its capacity. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer   Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say?” [ Gen 3:1] In a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to Christianity and her Bible, it...

Philippians #15 Easy Ed: My Friend and Model

Jesus promised his disciples three things: They would be absurdly happy, completely fearless, and in constant trouble.  F. B. Maltby But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of...
