“I was super excited when I found this in my husband’s stack of books. I like it because I am in a busy season as a mother of six, who homeschools, and have the joy of my sister and her family moving in with us during a tough season for them. The book keeps you focused on your Bible reading and provides questions that begin with basic observations but work down more deeply into immediate and fresh application.”

Recently I was having coffee with my wife and talking about books. And as I thought ..

“Even though he died at such a young age the impact of his ministry continue to be felt for many decades, and indeed the ripples continue today. By 1855 the congregation had grown to such an extent that they started a new mission church just 200 yards of the Perth Road. This became McCheyne Memorial church that was opened in 1870 by the well-known Baptist preacher CH Spurgeon.”

St Peter’s Free Church in Dundee is famous throughout the evangelical world for being the church of Robert Murray McCh..

Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384
Meditation:
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
—1 Corinthians 13:13 (KJV)
Quotation:
Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New Testament, for it is of full authority, and open to understanding by simple men, as to the points that are most needful to salvation. Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and t..

Key Passage[Some of the oldest and best Greek manuscripts of the Gospel of Mark end the book after the previous verse.] Jesus rose from death early on the first day of the week. Jesus showed himself first to Mary from Magdala. One time in the past, Jesus had forced seven demons to leave Mary. After Mary saw Jesus, she went and told his followers. His followers were very sad and were crying. But Mary told them that Jesus was alive. Mary said that she had seen Jesus. But the followers did not beli..

Thoughts on Today's Verse…
As we stand at the end of one year and look over tomorrow into the beginning of a new one, let's remember that before our New Year's resolutions are made and broken, and before this year has come to an end, we can and we must declare to the Lord and in our hearts, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord…” (Joshua 24:15) as our first ..

Verse”The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” — jer 8:20
ThoughtNot saved! Dear reader, is this your mournful plight? Warned of the judgment to come, bidden to escape for your life, and yet at this moment not saved! You know the way of salvation, you read it in the Bible, you hear it from the pulpit, it is explained to you by friends, and yet you neglect it, and therefore you are not saved. You will be without excuse when the Lord shall judge the quick and dead. The Holy..

Verse”In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.” — joh 7:37
ThoughtPatience had her perfect work in the Lord Jesus, and until the last day of the feast he pleaded with the Jews, even as on this last day of the year he pleads with us, and waits to be gracious to us. Admirable indeed is the longsuffering of the Saviour in bearing with some of us year after year, notwithstanding our provocations, rebellions, and r..

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.
Psalm 63:3, NKJVNo means of measure can define God’s limitless love . . .

No far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply . . .

No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings . . .

He forgives and He forgets.

He creates and He cleanses.

He restores and He rebuilds.

He heals and He helps.

He reconciles and He redeems.

He comforts and He carries.

He lifts and He lov..
