(Charles Spurgeon) “Who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have, that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?” 1 Corinthians 4:7 It is grace—free sovereign grace, which has made you to differ! Should any here, supposing themselves to be the […]

(William Secker, “The Wedding Ring” 1658) “Train up a child in the way he should go–and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 The goal of the godly mother, is that her children in the flesh–may be God’s children in the spirit. A mother should be more careful of her […]

As we Christians advance in life, and know more of human nature, and the power of temptation — the greater interest should we take in the young, and the more urgently should we seek their salvation. It is a lovely sight to see aged Christians endeavoring to bring young people to the Savior. And this […]

(Matthew Henry) “Who can find a virtuous woman? Her price is far above rubies!” Proverbs 31:10 The description of the virtuous woman given in Proverbs 31, is designed to show what kind of wives godly women should make — and what wives godly men should choose. A virtuous woman is very assiduous to recommend herself […]

(James Smith, “The Way of Salvation Set Forth”) Unconverted reader, did you ever consider that solemn text, “He who being often reproved and hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy!” Proverbs 29:1. You have been often reproved, yet you delay; you have refused . . .  to bow to God’s authority, […]

(Samuel Davies, “On the Death of King George II.” Delivered on January 14, 1761, at Princeton College. It is interesting, that Samuel Davies himself died shortly after delivering this sermon, on February 4, 1761.) “How the mighty have fallen!” 2 Samuel 1:19 George is dead! George, the mighty, the just, the gentle, and the wise! […]

(George Lawson, “A Practical Exposition of the Book of Proverbs” 1821) “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17 Adversity is commonly reputed the touchstone of friendship.

(William Dyer, “The Strait Way to Heaven”) “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” 1 Timothy 6:18 There are many men who have a great deal of this world’s wealth, and riches, and goods in their hands, and in their houses—but have no […]

(John MacDuff, “THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS” 1856) “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ — set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above — not on earthly things!” Colossians 3:1-2 The history of six thousand years has given indisputable evidence […]

I beg to differ that what we see today does not have anything to do with true christianity,i fear that many are on the path to destruction and these preachers are amusing them while they travel down hell’s avenue. The apostle paul in Jude 4 says “ For there are certain men crept in unawares”, […]

The Psalmist once said “If not for God,where would i have been ?” The christian is like a soldier fighting in the midst of a landfills laced with hidden explosives in every square meter he walks. God of righteous Enoch has not changed,He still bestows His righteousness on many today. To the believer who has […]

Sometimes one may suffer for right doing but the Bible has promised us great rewards irrespective of the reactions to our actions. Better to rot in prison than to sin against God,Joseph a young man with great dreams out of envy was sold as a slave into a foreign land,left to die,God rescued him,here is […]

If there is anything,men seek to avoid ,that thing is pain. We do all the papers,read all the books,book that appointment,talk to that person,we do everything because we cannot stand pain. When a person is doing bad or just commited ill,society says don’t put pain to his heart by correcting him,say nice words to him […]

The Lord is gracious to all,he will give certain things to all but limits certain things and privileges to his children. The living room and other rooms are open to all but the bedroom and certain rooms are restricted to only some persons. God has chosen us not because we chose him. Friends,it is a […]

Man that is born of a woman,his days are few and full of troubles A man once erected a sculpture in honour of his son who died in his infancy,he wrote in his epitaph, “Though i am sorrowful for your demise” “We are glad that you have escaped the troubles of this world” A man […]

One of the most remarkable moments in the interaction between believers is the moment when they get to share their conversion stories. We are left with one statement — is it possible? Yes,it is possible that God finds delight in the pursuit of the vile and despicable of society,oh yes it is possible that God […]

(Jonathan Edwards, “Spiritual Pride”) “I hate pride and arrogance!” Proverbs 8:13 “The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.” Prov. 16:5 Pride is a person having too high an opinion of himself. Pride is the first sin that ever entered into the universe, and the last […]

(Thomas Watson, “Body of Divinity“) Behold here a sacred riddle or paradox—“God was manifest in the flesh.” That man should be made in God’s image, was a wonder—but that God should be made in man’s image, is a greater wonder! That the Ancient of Days—should be born; that He who thunders in the heavens—should cry […]

The scriptures must be taken seriously but when the scripture is highlighted in red depicting the very sayings of Jesus,we must be extra cautious. Ten men among the many invited for a wedding decided to gather at a common point in order to wait for the bride but problems from logistics etc created delay,there had […]

When a woman knots the tie with a man,he does so knowing rest assuredly that the man will supply all that she may ever need,the man likewise,such is the married life. The Christian is in a love relationship with the Lord,the Scriptures calls us his bride,and like bride we must be pure and free from […]

One key attribute of God that the believer must daily meditate on is that God is sovereign over all and upon all. He does as He pleases and no one can question him. His sovereignty is absolute,infinite and irresistible,He does as He pleases,only as He pleases and only as He pleases We must note here […]

We have amazing privileges before us, the internet and computers. I want to state it clearly that the internet is a humongous miracle and the church should not take it for granted.Like someone has rightly said “Good is always the enemy of the best”, while we are grateful that we now have to opportunity to […]

 Poate uneori nu dăm importanţă acţiunilor minore, dar dacă Îl lăsăm pe Dumnezeu să ne lumineze mintea noastră, vom putea vedea că El le pregătește toate faptele bune pe care le facem, mai dinainte, ca să putem umbla prin ele. Megeam odată în anul 2009 (primul an în România) cu soţul meu (Doru Herdean) la […]

The first confirmation from God to our calling in Romania! The first year, after we got to Romania, in 2008, I prayed to God that for at least one soul to return to Him and then all the effort of our moving to Romania would be worth it! God heard my prayer and while my wife and I […]

Eram în primul an de misiune (2008), când am venit în Romania și ne pregăteam pentru Festivalul Speranței ca să facem cât mai multă reclamă în acea zona. Dumnezeu ne-a pus pe inimă să facem 2 lucruri diferite pentru zona aceea: seri de filme (pentru adulți) și teatru de păpuși (ptr. copii), în aer liber, […]

A while ago, I’ve met a woman begging on CALEA ARADULUI Street, sorrowful, hungry, widow for 20 years and injured 10 years ago on the left foot (where even now you can see a continuous pus flowing slowly). She does not have pension, nor children, she simply has nobody. She’s living only from begging and […]

Lavric Sabin (born June 10th, 1983, in Făgăraş, Romania) I was 7 years old when my parents abandoned me and my little sister. Since then, my life became a living nightmare. We lived 15 days in that house by ourselves. Our neighbors saw that our parents left and never came back, so they took care of […]
