The town of Crimond in Scotland is remembered for two things. It was the home of Jessie Seymour Irvine, daughter of a local minister. She composed the haunting melody which has borne the words of Psalm 23 out of the Scottish Psalter all round the world. Many a soul crossing over to The Other Side has done so to the words of it’s final stanza, sung to Crimond. “Goodness and mercy all my life, Shall surely follow me; And in God’s house forevermore, My dwelling place shall be.” The village of Crimond is also noted for its unusual tower clock. When the clock maker was constructing it, he...

“What is that to thee? Follow thou Me” (Jn 21:22). If the Enemy cannot use disinterest or discouragement to stop evangelism, he will tempt us with distractions. In his classic work, Via Sacra, T.H. Darlow writes: Curiosity becomes perilous, not because it is in itself evil or irreverent, but because it is so apt to dissipate the soul. Our Lord will have nothing to distract us from simple, personal faith in His own Person. To our subtle doubts and curious fears and eager questionings, He has one reply: What is that to thee? Follow thou Me. The stress falls on the last word. He says in effect:...

“The Lord is near to all who call upon Him” (Ps 145:18). William James Taylor, alias Bill Hennessy, alias Ed Lynch, learned he couldn’t hide from God. At the age of three, at his father’s San Francisco bar he grew to like the taste of liquor by dipping his fingers into the used glasses. By twelve he was a drunken street urchin. After two years in reform school, he lived aimlessly. Gambling, drugs and drink both provided a livelihood and made him a constant fugitive from the law. On the night he arrived in Chicago, he hurried into Pacific Garden Mission to avoid what he thought were...

Without question, fear of rejection is the Number One reason for lack of witnessing. But is it a good reason? We wouldn’t worry what people thought of us if we realized how little they did. And besides, what people think of you won’t matter a snap of the fingers, but what they think of Christ will determine their eternal destiny. In many western countries, the worst we suffer is an unkind word or an angry glance. Many of our brothers and sisters suffer far worse for standing up for Jesus. But we will overcome this fear of rejection if we focus on our Lord who was “despised and rejected of...

Henry Morris and Martin Clark write: “…many of the principles of modern science were recorded as facts of nature in the Bible long before science confirmed them experimentally. A sampling of these would include the roundness of the earth (Isa 40:22), the almost infinite extent of the sidereal universe (Isa 55:9), the law of conservation of mass and energy (2 Pet 3:7), the hydrologic cycle (Eccl 1:7), the vast number of stars (Jer 33:22), the equivalence of matter and energy (Heb 1:3), the law of increasing entropy (Ps 102:25-27), the paramount importance of blood in life processes (Lev...

“Above all, taking the shield of faith” (Eph 6:16). Often this shield is molded in the fires of testing. Andrew Stenhouse writes: “The landlord called for his money the first day of the month. Our mail came by sea. One had just come and brought us no mail, the next due in two weeks. The first of the month came, but the landlord did not. A week passed; then the second. The ship arrived, but our box was as empty as two weeks before! The day following, we went again, and there in the box was an Air Mail letter, the first we ever received. It contained a check for the amount needed. The brother...
