Life's Inanities and Ironies

 If you are a Bible-believing, blood-bought, conservative fundamentalist Christian who still clings to the old-time religion, the separated life, and the absolute authority of the Word of God, then this message is especially for you. Turn with me this morning to the Gospel of John, chapters 13 and 14 .   We have just come through “that last week” in John 12. Now we stand on holy ground: ** that last night **—the final hours before the cross. The Passover supper is over. The betrayer has slipped out into the darkness. Jesus is alone with His own. The Savior of the world is about to pour out His heart in the Upper Room . These two chapters are not optional devotional reading; they are the marching orders for every true fundamentalist who wants to walk the narrow way until Jesus comes. This is the night when Jesus taught us what real Christianity looks like: ** humble service , sacrificial love , and unshakable confidence in the promises of God**. Let us hear the Word of th...

Beloved brethren and sisters in Christ, If you are a Bible-believing, blood-bought, fundamentalist Christian who still holds fast to the old paths, then this message is for you. Turn with me to the Gospel of John, chapter 12 . This is no ordinary chapter in Scripture. This is the divine record of ** that last week **—the final seven days of our Lord Jesus Christ’s public ministry before He went to the cross for the sins of the world. Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrives in Bethany , the home of Lazarus whom He had raised from the dead. The air is thick with destiny. The crowds are swelling. The religious leaders are already plotting His death. And the Savior of the world is deliberately walking straight into the storm that will redeem humanity. This is not dusty ancient history, dear friends. This is the living pattern of every soul that ever comes face-to-face with the King of kings. In John 12 the Holy Spirit clearly shows us three distinct responses to Jesus Christ during H...

Forty days after the resurrection, the risen Jesus stood on the Mount of Olives with His closest followers. He had proven He was alive—eating fish, teaching Scripture, opening minds that had once been locked in confusion. He spoke plainly about the kingdom of God . Then He issued the final marching orders: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” ( Acts 1:8 ). A moment later He was taken up before their eyes. A cloud hid Him from sight. The disciples did what any of us would do: they froze, necks craned, eyes glued to the sky, staring into empty blue as if sheer willpower could pull Him back down.   That is when two men in white appeared and asked the question that still cuts through every prophecy conference, every end-times podcast, and every late-night headline scroll:   **“ Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky? ”** ( Act...

In a noisy, distracted world, even sincere Christians can lose focus. Politics scream for attention, cultural battles rage, end-times charts multiply, and church programs multiply faster than souls are saved. Yet right before Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave His apostles one crystal-clear priority. That priority still stands for every blood-washed, King James Bible -believing fundamentalist today. Turn with me to Acts 1:1-8   > “The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus , of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God : and, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem , but wait for the promise of the Father , which, sa...

In an age when radical feminism mocks biblical womanhood , tells girls to rebel against authority, push abortion as “empowerment,” flood their minds with gender lies, and chase self-glory, the unchanging Word of God still gives us a shining example of true feminine courage and Spirit-led influence. Her name was **Miriam** — the older sister of Moses and Aaron , a young Hebrew girl who risked everything to protect life and later led thousands of women in victorious worship. Her story spans two dramatic chapters in Exodus and shows how God uses faithful daughters who walk in obedience, wisdom, and bold praise. Conservative Christian parents and young women alike will find in Miriam a timeless model for our godless culture. The Biblical Record From Exodus 2 (KJV), we see Miriam as a brave young protector:   “And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him… Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that sh...
