Good News For The No Good

“I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” |

The man who trusts so much as a single hair’s breadth to his works has missed Christ!!!

We cannot trust partly to our works and partly to Christ.

We must feel that we are utterly stripped of everything.

I love to find those who have nothing good about them.

Some preachers like to find something good in men before they preach to them, but I like to find men who know there is nothing good in them and then preach God’s sovereign mercy to them.

If you were in the hospital and wanted the attention of the physician, what would you do?

Would you write over your bed or tell your doctor you were in pretty good condition?

Actually, you would be inclined to appear worse than you really are.

You certainly cannot exaggerate your low and sinful condition, for we are all “chief of sinners.”

Some Things Are Not Worth It

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” | Ephesians 5: 15-21

There are many ways to waste precious time other than by evil living.

There are books not worth reading.

There are television not worth watching.

There are thoughts not worth thinking.

There are places not worth going.

There are games not worth playing.

There are buildings not worth building.

There are wars not worth fighting.

There are victories not worth winning.

There are songs not worth singing.

There are appointments not worth keeping.

There is pain not worth causing.

There are enemies not worth hating.

There are prayers not worth praying.

There are sermons not worth preaching.

There are lessons not worth learning.

There are friends not worth making.

Beggars With Glorious News

”Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.” | 2 Kings 7: 9

Three little robins sit in their nest right above my back garage door.

They sit there day after day in absolute helpless dependency.

If mama robin does not bring food and put it into their mouths, they will soon die.

They seem to be always hungry, and whenever mom approaches they open their mouths wide, trying to get all the food they can.

I would to God that we, as believers, could be as those little robins when it comes to spiritual food, the “Bread of Life” – “Jesus Christ and Him crucified for guilty sinners;” when it comes to reading or hearing the Word of God; that we could always do so with such eagerness and hunger.

“Break Thou the bread of life, Dear Lord to me / As Thou didst break the loaves, Beside the sea / Beyond the sacred page, I seek Thee, Lord / My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word.”

Unbeliever, your helpless dependency is as great as those little robins in their nest.

If God does not cause you to hunger and bring you food, you will soon die… die in your sins!

If God does not open your heart to hunger and thirst after Christ and to receive Him as He is; to submit to Him, to love Him, to cleave to Him as your most prized possession, your doom is inevitable!

Perhaps the Lord has already caused you to hunger after Christ and life.

Perhaps you truly desire salvation from sin. “He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.” (Luke 1: 53)

What wonderful news for hungry sinners!

Believe!

Believe on Christ!

Believe on Christ now!

He that believeth shall be saved.
