The Pharisees of Jesus' day were wicked. At least the majority of them were, because it was mainly them that were responsible for the Romans putting Jesus to death. But I'm going to have to give them credit for at least…
I’ve seen it time and again, people who just can’t allow themselves to be helped by someone else. If good help is available for us in a certain venue of need, whatever it may be; if we cannot receive that help from someo…
“For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and thro…
I've heard some stuff in recent times about "You are what you do." This is a true saying to some extent, and it is also an erroneous saying to some extent. Sound confusing? It's not really, it's just that everything isn'…
I have people all the time from various religious affiliations within Christianity who try to set forth to me the rightness of their affiliation's creed, and of the traditional Christian doctrines in general. What they d…

Self pity is wicked and it is one of the most common conditions of mankind today. The holy Ghost revealed to me many years ago in a two-tier revelation, that the whole body of Christ is under self pity, and that the whol…
“Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great…
"To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty" (Job 6:14). This is really a simple rule to remember, and there's really no excuse for us to be found in transgr…

“A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue” (Prov. 17:4). It really is just that simple my friend. Anyone with and honest heart is going to take to what is true when it is present…
"Follow after [love], and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy" (I Cor. 14:1). I just can't get my mind off of the love of God. There truly is nothing else like it, and by the same saying, nothing else…
There is a great plague upon mankind, and it has been prevalent for six thousand years. It is called unbelief, and it may be more clearly stated as disbelief. Disbelieving God is what started the whole downward spiral fo…
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (II Jn. 1:2). This is quite a statement by the beloved apostle, through inspiration of the holy Ghost. It is quite…
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jer. 29:11). We all need to be reminded from time to time of these words that God spoke…

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his hel…
What is it that you're after in this life? I mean really after? If it is this life then you are on the wrong road and are bound to end up in the wrong destination. I’ve always said that the highest form of insanity is to…
The First Psalm article by Lary R. Hale “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of th…
Why was it that so many outcast and downtrodden types came to Jesus when he was here? It's simple really. They felt loved by him, and they felt that way because they WERE loved by him. People like the woman who washed hi…
"What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? ... Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew t…
Too many people today are looking far too closely at others in the kingdom of God, to find reasons to disqualify them from being true brethren. I've seen so much of this and I have to tell you that it's really a dangerou…
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled an…
