There is a real personage known as the devil. His name means “Destruction” (“Abaddon”), or “Destroyer” (“Apollyon”). Jesus described him as a thief who comes “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” He also stated that the devil is a murderer and liar, and the father...

We find in Acts 13:1-5, a wonderful picture of fellowship between the Spirit of God and man. How beautiful to see these saints united in ministering unto the Lord Jesus. It is interesting to note that, although there are several Greek words which are translated as...

Luke 9:16,17 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them...

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then...

“For I have not held back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.” (Acts 20:27) This verse states the apostolic ministry of Paul. Note that just prior to this verse he records his motivation, and just after this passage he records a warning. One of the cliché...

In the third chapter of Acts, quite an interesting scene takes place. A lame man is healed by God through Peter and John. What I find interesting about this whole incident is the reaction of the “temple-goers”. Questions: Why were they going to the temple? Who were...

Gideon is recognized in Hebrews 11:32 as a man of faith. As is true with so many of us, Gideon didn’t consider himself a “super-hero”. In fact, when God called him to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Midianites, he informed the Lord that He made the wrong choice....
