“Sowing The Tares”

I was at the Paris exhibition in 1867, and I noticed there a little oil painting, only about a foot square, and the face was the most hideous I have ever seen. On the paper attached to the painting were the words, “Sowing the Tares,” and the face looked more like a demon’s than a man’s.

As he sowed these tares, up came serpents and reptiles, and they were crawling up on his body, and all around were wolves and other wild animals prowling in them. I have seen that picture many times since. Ah, the reaper is coming. If you sow to the flesh, you must reap the flesh.— MOODY.

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart

This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.

Light which Redeems the Soul

The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart

On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn

The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.

God’s Heart and Ours

Chris Tiegreen

One of the primary ways God accomplishes his purposes on earth is through the prayers of his people. And one of our primary motivations for prayer is the desires in our hearts.
