Christian friend, do you find yourself numbered among those who walk in present darkness and seemingly have no light for your path ahead? Do sorrows engulf you with no relief?

Take heart. The candle of your faith may flicker in the winds of your affliction, but by the power of God, it will not go out.

Your rocky path may feel isolated, but it is not unknown.

Job. Psalm 88. Habakkuk 1:2-4.

Gethsemane.

Ah, yes, Gethsemane.

Even your sympathetic Lord has known the weight of being exceeding sorrowful, even to the point of death.

So take heart. All that you see may be darkness, but all that you see is not all that there is.

The covenant-keeping God of loyal love, sooner or later, comes for his own.

"I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6).

Professing Christians often (and wrongly) justify many foolish decisions or objectively ungodly conduct with the platitude, “I’ve prayed about it, and this is what I feel the Lord is leading me to do.”

It would be better simply to say, “This is what I want to do,” without attempting to baptize it in pseudo-Christian terms that are used to avoid legitimate accountability before other believers.

Prayer is a means of expressing worship and dependence on the Lord. It does not make our human decisions infallible or beyond correction.

There. I said it.

Flying way below the radar at Trust the Word Press has been the production of my new workbook resource titled: Essential Truth: A Bible Study Guide.
ttwpress.com/

It’s the kind of fundamental teaching I love to get into people’s hands. In 76 pages, it covers the authority of Scripture, the fear of God, the person and work of Christ, and the call to repentance. It’s not available on the website just yet, but soon will be.

From the back cover copy:

The Bible says “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ” (Romans 10:13). Essential Truth: A Bible Study Guide is a resource to develop faith in Christians and non-Christians alike.

Readers will follow five audio sermons preached by Pastor Don Green on central matters of biblical Christianity. Clear written summaries and study questions will seal these important truths as users pursue the lessons at their own pace.

Essential Truth is based squarely on God’s Word. It is an effective aid for private study, small groups, or churches desiring to advance evangelistic or discipleship goals. Even parents will find it accessible to influence their teenagers for Christ and the gospel in this tested and trustworthy resource.

I am a bit under the weather as I turn 65 tomorrow. A few days ago, I wrote a lengthy post that contained a lot of reflection that I really liked. You would have liked it, also.

Due to a phone glitch, I lost it all just as I was about to hit “post.”

Unlike Jeremiah and Baruch in Jeremiah 36, I decided not to rewrite it. It was enough that the Lord saw what was in my heart.

Look, my friends. I am grateful to the Lord. I have lived an interesting (to me) life, gone to interesting places, done interesting things, and known interesting people.

My wife loves me and is my biggest supporter in ministry.

I have known love from children and now grandchildren.

Whatever sorrows may have accumulated along the way, the Lord has been good and faithful to His unworthy servant. Those passing heartaches are not worthy to be compared to the glory that awaits those who belong to Christ.

The past few years have experientially begun to teach me not to cling to this world. You don’t realize how much you do that until some disappointments intervene and change your perspective.

But even disappointments are a gift from God, rightly viewed. They teach you to hope in Christ, not men. They teach you that this world is passing. They teach you that here we have no lasting city, but we are seeking the city to come (Hebrews 13:14).

Based on genetics, there’s good reason to believe, humanly speaking, that I have many more years to come. If so, I will give thanks and try to serve Christ and love you all with my remaining strength.

If the days are shorter, I will depart and be with Christ, and that will be very much better.

I go to bed tonight feeling my age, but even more trusting my good Lord and giving thanks to Him for every spiritual blessing in Christ.

May you find your all in Him.

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26)

Church unity is promoted through greater precision from the pulpit, not less. The pastor who tries to accommodate both sides of controversial issues eventually loses both sides--and forfeits his own credibility in the process.

I sympathize with those Christians who, in the midst of their affliction, ask “How long must I suffer?” That was certainly David’s repeated question in Psalm 13.

When you remember that God ultimately sends adversity to us in wisdom and love, you start to establish the parameters of the answer: as long as is necessary, but no longer than will do you the most ultimate good.

In the midst of your latest groan, dear friend, look up yet again. The ear of heaven has not turned you away. It never will and never could. Nothing can separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalms 55:22)
