The Nature of Certain Things (part 3)
(Continued from last week…) THE NATURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS The last two posts, part 1, and part 2, have demonstrated by scriptural and prophetic history, how all mankind, because of the fall, are considered unworthy before God. So if we are all unworthy before Him, if we are—each one of us—the
The Nature of Certain Things (part 2)
(Continued from last week…) THE NATURE OF WORTHINESS Last week we talked about both the brother of Jared and Alma Sr., and how in their self-assessment, they truly felt unworthy before the Lord. And so, I say…let’s be honest! Who really is worthy? “To be worthy” in our current English
The Nature of Certain Things (part 1)
THE NATURE OF MORTAL MAN For many years, I have loved a painting by Minerva Teichert titled: “Rescue of the Lost Lamb.” Today, I would invite everyone who reads this to look at this image and make a serious effort to answer in your own heart what this painting is
Lost and Found
A Christian writer, Philip Yancey shared the following story, one that he heard from his friend who works with the down-and-out in Chicago: “‘A prostitute came to me in wretched straits, homeless, sick, unable to buy food for her [young] daughter. Through sobs and tears, she told me she had
The First and the Last
The popular motion picture “Star Wars” had a powerful sequel titled, “The Empire Strikes Back.” Near the beginning of the movie, Luke Skywalker has been out exploring the ice planet Hoth’s surface and by early evening hasn’t returned to the protective shelter of the base. Meanwhile, the outside temperature is
More Jesus (part 3)
(Continued from last week…) QUALIFYING THE SAVIOR’S GRACE It’s interesting that when we talk about the Lord’s saving grace—as a gift, as something we can’t earn—so many Latter-day Saints feel the need to qualify it. For instance, years ago, I was asked by an organization in the Church—not by the
More Jesus (part 2)
(Continued from last week…) I repeat, where are our passionate testimonies of Christ? Where is the abundance of our heartfelt expressions of gratitude for Him? How often does He find a place in our own private thoughts and personal conversations with trusted friends and family? ARE WE CHRISTIANS? So many
More Jesus (part 1)
In our Bible Dictionary, the word “church” is from the Greek word Ecclesia meaning “an assembly called together.” But we know that Jesus had more in mind than just assembling people together for meetings. We see His intentions to form a community of believers and doers. He often referred to
The Power of Influence (part 2)
Continuing Henry Drummond’s words from last week about the power of influence… “There is something almost melting in the way [Jesus’] contemporaries, and John especially, speak of the Influence of Christ. John lived himself in daily wonder at Him….To his mind it was impossible for any one to come under
The Power of Influence (part 1)
I love brilliant, inspired minds. One of my all-time favorite Christian writers, Henry Drummond, wrote an essay back in the late nineteenth century titled “The Changed Life” wherein he speaks about becoming sanctified—or holy—like our Savior. I wish to quote it at length for you… “Reflect the character of Christ,
Come and See (part 2)
(Continued from last week…) Now herein is a marvelous thing! When Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, and Peter boldly declared, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus enlightened them all, by saying to Peter: “…flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto
Come and See (part 1)
Let’s take a trip to Israel. Let’s take a trip through time. John the Baptist has just turned thirty. Now, younger people in our western civilization get nervous about such birthdays…”the big 3-0”…but not John. Back then, thirty was missionary age. John had received his call years earlier and had
Be Ye Perfect
Speaking of the Lord’s command to us to “Be ye perfect,” C. S. Lewis gives us two wonderful analogies that help us see into the Lord’s determined heart. He says: “Some people seem to think this means ‘Unless you are perfect, I will not help you’….But I do not think
The Old Fisherman
The Old Fisherman (by Mary Bartels Bray) “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger and ye took me in. “Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least
Instruments
In the poem, “Stradivarius,” the author, George Eliot, speaks as if he were the world-renowned violinmaker, Antonio Stradivari, saying: When any master holds ’Twixt chin and hand a violin of mine, He will be glad that Stradivari lived, Made violins, and made them of the best. The masters only know
Two Present Worlds
I have often found myself on a plane heading somewhere and have discovered for myself that these are marvelous times to read out of the best books. Not only does it make the time go by quickly but it also usually ends up being uninterrupted time—the best time for reading,
Jesus Christ in the Front-Line Trenches
Jesus Christ in the Front-Line Trenches What comes after Christmas has passed? Helmut Thielicke, a beloved German Theologian of the last century, shared the following: “…of all people it is the poets who have become the pastors of our time, who do not hand out [idealistic sentiments], fulfillments, and solutions
Three Levels of Christmas
Three Levels of Christmas (by William B. Smart) This is a beautiful time of year. We love the excitement, the giving spirit, the special awareness of and appreciation for family and friends, the feelings of love and brotherhood that bless our gatherings at Christmastime. In all of the joyousness, it
How Old Were Mary and Joseph?
How Old Were Mary and Joseph? We have no ages given in the scriptures or other historical documents to determine how old Mary and Joseph were at the time of their betrothal, or at the birth of Jesus. However, we do have an idea of when other young women and
Bailey’s Jesus
Bailey’s Jesus (by Ginger LaGrone Tucker) God recently allowed me to see Jesus through the eyes of someone seeing Him for the first time. Having the advantage of knowing how the story ends, we can easily forget the cost of our redemption and the love of our Savior. Every year
