Lord, we want to praise and thank You again for the precious gift of our friend & beloved brother, Bill MacDonald.
Words
fail us as we try to express our heart-felt gratitude for giving us
such a godly man who means so much to us, a man who truly was a
spiritual father to so many of us. He was a brother who daily reminded
us of the character & grace of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ and
consistently pointed us to Him. He was a brother who was the embodiment
of what Paul sa...

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” (Prov. 25:11)
The combination of golden apples in a setting of silver is pleasingly appropriate. The two go together well. It is the same with a golden word spoken at just the proper time. “A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” (Prov. 15:23).
A veteran missionary lady is dying in the cancer ward, still conscious but too weak to talk. A godly eld...

“…the gospel of the glory of Christ.” (2 Cor. 4:4)
We should never forget that the gospel is the good news of the glory of Christ. True, it concerns the One who was crucified and who was buried. But He is no longer on the Cross, no longer in the Tomb. He has risen, has ascended to heaven, and is the glorified Man at God’s right hand.
We do not present Him as the humble Carpenter of Nazareth, the suffering Servant or the Stranger of Galilee. Neither do we present H...

“Are there not twelve hours in the day?” Qohn 11:9)
When Jesus suggested going back to Judea, the disciples were terrified. The Jews had tried to stone Him there only recently, and now He was talking about a return visit. In answer to the disciples’ apprehension, Jesus said, “Are there not twelve hours in the day?” At first glance, the question seems to be completely disconnected from the conversation. But what the Savior was saying was this! The working day is made u...

“…in Him you have been made complete.” (Col. 2:10 NASB)
Contrary to popular opinion, there are no degrees of fitness for heaven. A person is either absolutely fit or he is not fit at all. This goes counter to the common notion that at the top of God’s totem pole are good, clean-living people, at the bottom are the crooks and mobsters, and in between are those with varying degrees of fitness for heaven. It is an enormous mistake. We are either fit or we aren’t. There i...

“…then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Cor. 13:12)
It is quite normal and understandable for us as Christians to wonder if we will know our loved ones in heaven. While there is no Scripture that deals specifically with the subject, there are several lines of reasoning that lead us to a positive conclusion.
First of all, the disciples recognized Jesus in His resurrected, glorified body. His physical appearance was unchanged. There was no mistaking that ...

“And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.” (Lev. 25:10)
Every fiftieth year in Israel’s calendar was known as the year of jubilee. The soil was supposed to lie fallow. Land reverted to its original owner. Slaves were set free. It was a joyous time of freedom, grace...

“For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (James 4:14)
The insistent voice of the Holy Spirit reminds mortal man frequently in the Scriptures of the brevity of his life. By the repeated use of similes, the Spirit of the Lord impresses on us that our days are limited and passing swiftly.
For instance, He likens life to a weaver’s shuttle (Job 7:6), the device that darts back and forth in the loom almost fas...
