Why We Don’t Do Crosses
Let me be as emphatic as I can be. The cross of the Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely central and foremost in my esteem. Paul tells the Corinthians ‘the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God’. I agree with that. He says to the Galatians, ‘God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ’. I agree with that. I hold both of these assertions by the apostle to be true. May it never be said that I am not amongst the foremost advocates for preaching the cross.

The Trying Of Your Faith
The Epistle of James is a practical book. It deals with everyday matters of our faith and addresses experiences of a believer’s life. It appears to have been written by the Apostle James, one of ‘the twelve’ who is sometimes called James, the Son of Alpheus, or James the Less, to distinguish him from James, the son of Zebedee and brother of John. The epistle is addressed to ‘the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad’. This may suggest a primarily Jewish audience but it may also refer to ‘spiritual Israel’, a title suitable for all the elect, the chosen people of God, both amongst Jews and Gentiles.

Thy Rod And Thy Staff
The Lord’s people have long cherished Psalm 23 for its spiritual value and poetic beauty. It is a psalm of David, a man beloved of God. David’s spiritual journey led him to experience much of the breadth of human emotion and fallen man’s condition in dealing with his Maker. David walked on the mountain tops of spiritual joy yet he plunged, too, into the depths of human weakness and wickedness. Under the Holy Spirit’s guidance David recorded his experiences and Psalm 23 is an example for the ages.
