    "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up" (1 Corinthians 8:1).

    January 31, 2017

    Ron Allen

    It is a mistake if devout folk suppose their connection to God obtains by means of things they know; the quality of their religious intelligence; their theological acumen.  Never before has the world known as much as it does now. Yet, the knowing is not on its own enou...

    “Oh . . . . that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off! Then I would still have this consolation . . . . that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.” (Job 6:8-10).

    When I was just a boy, my leg was run over by a horse-drawn wagon.  Nothing was broken, and I soon got over it. But at the time, the world was made up of my suffering alone.  It would not have made any difference to me if someone had been shot right beside me. My pain...

    “Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.” (Job 5:2).

    Proverbs are the considered reflections of individuals who have been around for a while and know a thing or two about how things go in the world. This wise observer sees that resentment and envy have a negative effect on persons in whom they are nurtured.  Harsh and un...

    "Yet, O Lord, you are our father, we are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand" (Isaiah 64:8)

    Deep truth about our existence, its meaning, possibilities and prospects are here outlined. We are not chance mutations with significance in no way superior to that of rocks and trees. We are children of the Father; brought to be out of high purpose, and the subjects o...

    "In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them . . . " (Isaiah 63:9)

    There is no friend to compare with the friend who identifies him/herself so closely with my needs, my concerns, my feelings, my distress, my hopes and fears--than the friend who FEELS them with me.  Fellow-feeling is no idle virtue. No one can negotiate the slings and...

    “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:2,3).

    In Eden, Mankind was specified in terms of his relation to the Creator.  Since the world environment is now compromised through sin, humanity can still experience its creator God, but only within a relationship of salvation.  Men and women must need access the infinite...

    " . . . Just take the plank out of your own eye and you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

    Our ability to see clearly enough to pass judgment on another person is severely compromised. Whatever that person's fault we cannot condemn him/her from a position of innocence or purity of motive. The other person is our brother, not just because he is human, but bec...

    "Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, Or Jesus who is called Christ?" (Matthew 27:17).

    It was a barbed question, asked by Pilate. He knew the Jews rankled at the very idea that Jesus was the Christ.  They would rather that the Roman clemency yield for them the release of a known rabble rouser and murderer than that Jesus of Nazareth be permitted to go fr...

    "Lord, by such things men live, and my spirit finds life in them too . . . . Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish" (Isaiah 38:16,17).

    God sent the prophet Isaiah to tell him that his illness would end in death and to put his house in order. Hezekiah prayed hard and the Lord added a further fifteen years to his life.  It was after his death had been delayed that Hezekiah was able to say that his traum...

    "Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity" (2 Corinthians 8:2).

    Ron Allen

    Material comfort and circumstantial ease is not the generator of virtue. Truth to tell, those conditions are more likely than not to stymie moral beauty. Visitors to undeveloped countries often notice that people there with almost none of the comforts of Western living...
