Bible Comfort

“I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.” John 14:1. A FEW years ago a striking Christmas card was published, with the title ‘Tf He had not come.” It was founded upon our Saviour’s own words 'Tf I had not come.” The card represented a clergyman falling into a short sleep in his study on Christmas morning and dreaming of a world into which Jesus had never come. In his dream he found himself looking through his home but there were no little stockings in the chimney corner, no Christmas bells or wreaths of holly, and no Christ to comfort, gladden and save. He walked ...

Many have surmised about the foods Jesus of Nazareth may have eaten. But this book is specific. It points to nine foods in Scripture that Jesus either consumed Himself, recommended as being good food, or approved of by strong inference. But what are the credentials of a lowly carpenter who lived 2,000 years ago? In speaking of Jesus, the Scriptures say, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:3). His credentials pass the test. Therefore, we will take note of each of these nine foods if we know what’s good for us.

Ninety-nine passages of Scripture offering words of encouragement....

There is an ancient book called Job which takes its name from the man whose story it tells. He lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of up-right life and godly character. He had a large family and was very prosperous. The home life of his family was particularly happy. His children feasted together daily and their father took pains with their religious life.

For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and...

Though suffering often leaves us feeling isolated, God invites us into the community of the Trinity and offers us many companions in scripture.

With Mary and Martha we learn to wait. In God's community, there is sweet fellowship, even in the hardest of circumstances. Journey in this book with Wendy Alsup through her story of suffering, and more importantly, with the God who walks with us in the wilderness.

CONCERNING advancement in religion, I have learned three lessons from the story of the Magi seeking the infant Christ. First, God is true to his own word. His word is something you can rest on, as men may stand on granite. It is in one of what are called the minor prophets, that the prediction of the birth of Christ is to be found. The prophetic word was uttered seven hundred years before the birth took place. God did not forget that word. Christ was born in Bethlehem. More than that — the mightiest earthly power was laid under tribute, that this word might be kept to the last letter. ...

THE messages for young lives "which compose this little volume are found in the book of Jeremiah. They spoke strongly to my own heart during a long and lonely voyage on a tropic sea, and I wrote them down more for my own instruction and inspiration than with the thought of publishing them for others. But whatever reaches one heart is apt to reach another. Whatever helps one life is pretty sure to help another. Hoping that this little book may not prove to be an exception to this nearly universal rule, I send it on its way. May it speak some word of counsel to many a modest youth who like ...

Diamonds, gold, and precious pearls don’t lie on the earth’s surface. We have to search for them. And so it is with the precious gems of the Bible. We have to dig for them. They have been hidden from the eyes those who fail to “search the Scriptures.” The life of Joseph in particular is filled with enigmatic meaning and biblical types that are easily missed by a superficial reading of the wonderful story. From his initial strange dreams, to the continual attempts to seduce him by Potiphar’s unfaithful wife, to being thrown in jail as an accused sexual predator, to his divinely ...

Life brings storms. This isn't pessimism—it's the promise of Jesus Himself: "In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33) Some storms appear suddenly, darkening skies that were clear only moments before. Others build slowly on the horizon, giving us time to prepare but not to escape. Some rage for a day; others linger for years. Some affect our circumstances—health, finances, relationships. Others assault our souls—doubt, fear, despair. But all of them test what we truly believe about God and ourselves. You're reading this book because you're ...
