“Jesus, the son of God, Christians believe. Or, if you believe as most of the world does, merely a good teacher. But, I must point out, if he is but a good teacher, in what sense is he good? He… — Patrick Davis Copy Share Image
“Why does God not heal when we pray? My wife and I discussed this question for quite a bit before I attempted to answer it. I consider it one of the more difficult questions, but before I describe the difficulty, I would like to set the record straight. God does answer prayer! He answers many times, and in many… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“I think of human singing, and note that angels are not said to sing. The gift of singing, of making music, and of composing songs may well be one of the greatest marks in man of the creator. Any serious listener of music must recognize the laments and the infinite sorrow expressed in much of our music. Do not our… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“Sincerity is often mistaken for a truth, when it fact it may have no resemblance to truth whatsoever. Sometimes we do make the mistake, when we apprehend the sincerity of a person, that sincerity somehow validates the belief. To put it simply, a sincere person may be sincerely wrong. Truth has nothing to do with sincerity, and when you mix… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“Is there any evidence to support that the Holy Spirit is the greatest gift? There is some, but I think we should always remember that the very gift of the Holy Spirit only came to us because of the gift of Jesus Christ himself. Listen to the words of our Lord. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“I was leaving God out in my reckoning. Oh, you say, no you weren’t, for all of the views have men of God in them. But logically, that is an irrational statement. Do you not see it, as soon as you say it? If the Bible says anything at all (and I think it says quite a lot), then it… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“What if mankind has become so neurotic in their loss of fellowship to God that they have become “walking dead people”? What if we have so lost our remembrances of fellowship with God that we are nothing but walking zombies? Indeed Scripture seems to indicate that very fact, declaring over and over that we are dead in our trespasses and… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“My father’s generation, who for the most part did not know Christ, knew at least there was a right and a wrong. They may not have been able to point to the reason for right and wrong—most did not know the Source of morality—but they passionately embraced their notions of right and wrong. Most of the time their notions were… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“As Chafer said, long ago, “If men go to perdition it will be because every possible mercy from God has been resisted.”3 I cannot conceive of a worse punishment than knowing that God has made a way to save your soul, that you have refused that provision, and that neither you nor a loving God can do anything to mediate… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“After we become Christians, we have let him, so to speak, into our house. But there are all sorts of messes in our house, and while we might maintain the front room for “company”, the problem with our Lord is that he is never content just to stay in the front room. He wants nothing less than all of us,… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“American Christianity has come to show a blandness that offends no one, a gospel that is adaptable to fit every lifestyle, and a message… — Patrick Davis Copy Share Image
“Doctrine should come from the Bible and it should never be that we prove our doctrine from the Bible, but rather that the Bible compels us to adopt our beliefs. Our measure of whether we are doing this or not? Probably, as teachers of the saints, you might check to see where you are doing most of your reading. Is… — Patrick Davis Copy Share
“As watchmen working through the night we need to come again and again with our petitions, but always knowing that each prayer, each petition… — Patrick Davis Copy Share Image
