O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth. Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my
of the world learn righteousness." Isaiah 26:7-9 (NIV) Reading these verses while praying recently, I realized that they are directly connected to the theme of revival and to the opening of doors for which we have long been praying. We have been asking the Lord for revival for New York City, as well as for our nation. We are asking for revival, not just because it would be marvelous to see God move again with power from on high, but because we desperately need “times of refreshing…from the Lord.” (Acts 3:19) Copyright ©2007 Christopher N.

Excerpt: "I was thinking about the verse from the Psalms that says, 'Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.' (Psalm 42:7) It is all too easy for us to dwell on the surface of things. Even as believers, we can miss so much by not entering into a deeper understanding of what is going on around us, especially when suffering or sorrow are involved. In John 11, when Martha came up to Jesus to tell Him, 'Lord, the one you love is sick,' what she said was accurate. Jesus greatly loved Lazarus. Jesus responded to Martha, 'This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.' Though Jesus knew exactly what God was going to do in this circumstance, He did not spare himself. He entered fully into the sorrow of Mary and Martha, and of the Jews who were also grieving at the death of Lazarus. One of the loveliest and shortest verses in the Bible appears later in chapter 11. 'When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. ‘Where have you laid him?’ he asked. ‘Come and see, Lord,’ they replied. Jesus wept.'” Copyright ©1996 Christopher N. White, Revised 2008. 8 pages., illustrated. 1 copy for $1.75 postpaid, 5 copies for $7.50. |
Excerpt: "Academia and the media usually view Darwin’s theory of evolution as a fact, a concept so thoroughly established as to be beyond serious challenge. Yet when Dr. Wayne Detmer, a good friend who is now working in inner city medicine in Chicago, attended his Introductory Biology class at Yale, the professor asked the students: “How many people here believe that God created man?” Just a few hands went up, six or so, out of about 150. The professor then said, “I have to admit that it takes as much faith to believe in evolution as it does to believe that God created man.

Excerpt: "The Bible tells us of many miracles: the blind receiving their sight, the lame walking, and even the dead rising again to life. But the greatest of all miracles is forgiveness, the free and complete pardon of an undeserving sinner by a righteous and holy God. As Psalm 32 says, 'Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.'
moment that guilt is the most common symptom psychologists deal with in their patients today. Guilt is the inescapable weight that oppresses our consciences when we do something wrong.

Written for a talk at Columbia University... Excerpt: "We live in a generation that prides itself on personal preferences and choices. We believe what we want to believe, and reject those things that do not fit our personal viewpoint. This is especially true when it comes to matters of religion. We hold today to a bewildering array of religious beliefs. Some of us can even be quite religious about our refusal to believe in God! On his deathbed in 1882, Charles Darwin spoke regretfully of what his contemporaries had done with his ideas and speculations on the origins of life: 'To my astonishment the ideas took like wild-fire. People made a religion of them.'
and more informed about what we believe than previous generations. We even promote critical thinking in our schools, yet one has to wonder how critical our thinking really is! The fact is that we are not very different from earlier cultures, including the ancient Greeks. As has been true throughout human history, ignorance and arrogance all too often walk hand in hand..."

Excerpt: "The role of the evangelist is critical to the building up of the Body of Christ. And, regardless of what some may claim in our day, the need for evangelists will never end until Christ returns. The apostle, the prophet, the pastor, and the teacher all have differing callings, but every role is ordained of God and is critical to the building up of the church. As is clear from the life of Paul, an apostle is intended by God to have far-seeing vision both for the church and for a lost world. By contrast, those whom God calls to pastor and teach His flock must focus chiefly on those who are already among the redeemed. If the entire leadership of the Body is made up only of those genuinely called by God to be pastors (or elders) and teachers, the church’s vision to reach the lost will be far more circumscribed than God intends.
for his son, Isaac, so we evangelists are called to search out a Bride for Christ among those who are now far away from God’s Kingdom. Searching out gems for Jesus among multitudes of lost, contentious, unpromising, and even depraved souls is hard work, but it is work that is ordained by God! Consider again Jesus’ words in John 15:16, 'You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain…'” Copyright ©2008 Christopher N.
