  • He promised to forgive us

    He promised to forgive us
    2025/07/22
    What is it that this poor saint walking down here today who has it in his heart a desire to live for God above everything else, and yet who sees his weakness, he sees his faults. He’s walking in the light of the Word of God and yet he wants to please God. What can he do? May I say to you, there’s good news for him. I know it’s familiar, but let’s listen to it. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just ….” And the word “just” means He’s righteous. God is right when He forgives us. Well, how can He be righteous? I’ll tell you why. Because He promised to forgive us.

  • How to have fellowship with God

    How to have fellowship with God
    2025/07/21
    “If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son just keeps on cleansing us from all sin.” You can have fellowship with Him today, not because of who you are, not because that you today think you can bring God down to your plane, but you can have fellowship with Him because Jesus Christ shed His blood to make it possible. And that’s the basis on which any of us will have fellowship with Him.

  • Joy comes from Jesus

    Joy comes from Jesus
    2025/07/18
    John was presenting Jesus Christ. He says to them, “I want to present to you this person—this person that I happen to know. And I want to tell you about Him, and from that you’ll have fellowship, and from that your joy will be full.” And may I say to you, you cannot have fellowship, you cannot have joy as a child of God apart from Jesus Christ. He’s the very source. And it is your relationship to Him that will determine both your fellowship and your joy today.

  • Rejoice

    Rejoice
    2025/07/17
    “These things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” That is the thing that is very important for us, I think, today to see. Something that a preacher has to keep in mind. It’s the high note. It is the ultimate aim of preaching, actually. It doesn’t mean that a preacher shouldn’t preach on conviction and sin, for he should. But through conviction and through repentance and through turning to God, there ought to be joy. That is the ultimate aim. And this is the thing that John says, “I’m writing that your joy might be full.” God wants His people to rejoice. God wants us to come into His presence with joy.

  • He knows you

    He knows you
    2025/07/16
    The Lord is good, and He’s “a stronghold in the day of trouble.” Are you having any trouble? Well, if you want to get to a good shelter, the Lord is that shelter. “And He knoweth those who trust in Him.” I’m very happy that I’m not going to get lost in the shuffle. I won’t get lost in the multitude. And I’m very happy that the Scripture says, “He knoweth those who trust in Him.” He doesn’t have to have an IBM machine to record your name. Actually, He’s got you written on His heart. He’s written your name on the palms of His hands. He knows you. He knows those who’ve trusted Him.

  • The Lord is good

    The Lord is good
    2025/07/15
    You remember the Psalmist said, “The Lord is good. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” And if the redeemed don’t say so, nobody’s going to say so. So, I’m going to say so: God is good. God is good, friend. That’s wonderful to know. I don’t know who you are, where you are, or how you are, but wherever you are God today loves you. And God wants to save you. And if you’re not saved just because you won’t come to Him because He can save you and He will save you. God is good. That’s an axiom of Scripture and it’s an axiom of life. The Lord is good.

  • Faithful living

    Faithful living
    2025/07/14
    Now the real test of the Christian life, you see, is not on the arena backed by applause. It’s not before the crowd in the coliseum. There were five million martyrs who bear testimony to the truth of the gospel in the first three centuries. They laid down their lives for Christ, but did you know that there were many more million than that who bear witness by the faithful lives they live each day? Nothing spectacular; nothing sensational. Nothing outstanding. They’re just living for God. They have a purpose, they have a direction, and they have a thrilling experience.

  • Elevating the meek

    Elevating the meek
    2025/07/11
    Now meekness does not necessarily mean weakness. Now Moses was considered a meek man, but you remember when he got up and talked to the children of Israel, he didn’t sound like a meek man according to our notion of meekness. He spoke right out. And you remember, the Lord Jesus was “meek and lowly,” but He went in and cleansed the temple. Nobody else speaks along these lines today as far as I know. And the thing that’s hurting our churches; somebody should speak out today and say, “Look, brothers, sit down. You’re spoiling things. You ought not to be trying to love the preeminence all the time. You should learn to be meek and let others speak out.
