    Withstanding Satan’s icy blasts

    We have all known those who content themselves with a profession of Christ and a smattering of gifts and works, and who do not wish to know if there is more to the Christian life. They are the ones whose graces freeze when winter winds buffet their souls. But the saint whose faith has been…

Now if she exercises her strength to go to her little one, the…

  • More than a nibble of peace and joy!

    Your heavenly Father is so eager to care for you, that while you are timidly asking for a nibble of peace and joy, He is longing for you to open your mouth wide so He can fill it. The more often you ask, the better; and the more you ask for, the more He welcomes…

  • Satan’s opiates

    What opiate does Satan sprinkle on the pillows of the unregenerate? How can they sleep so soundly even after they have been warned of the consequences of ignoring God’s gracious ultimatum? Sinner, Satan may trick you into supposing it takes wisdom or courage to refuse the terms of God’s mercy, but it is really the…
