The Price by Author Leon Newton
The play is about an arrogant millionaire who does not believe in God and Jesus Christ's Salvation for man. The millionaire believes man is the measure of all things and not God. He refuses to accept the fact he is in hell. He believes his paper work must have been misplace and this is all a mistake. The millionaire is told that God does not make mistakes. He demands Satan look into the matter at once and complains it's to hot in hell and asks Satan to turn the air conditioners on.
Satan tries to convince the millionaire there is no paper work mix up and hell is where he belongs. The millionaire not hearing any of it tells Satan he needs better customer service in hell because he would never hire him. Satan has the other residences of hell to give their testimonies of why they were in hell, but the millionaire is unconvinced.

Building On The Rock Of The Word Of God
From Author Phillip A. Ross of Pilgrim Platform Books. 
See into one man's theology turned rightside up by the love of Christ. A pastor, born again in the pulpit, encounters the world and the church in the light of the gospel — and everything changed.
Crisis of ...
What? The American economy? The Stock Market? Eight years of Bush policies? How about a hundred years of liberal indoctrination!
If we can't see the right problem or see the problem rightly, we cannot find the right solution. If we don't understand the disease, we cannot prescribe a medication. Apart from a proper diagnosis, doing something may be worse than doing nothing. America is in serious denial of her real situation. Seeing the problem, putting the problem in the correct context, is everything.
What Can We Do?
The first thing to do is to see the problem in its proper context, its historical context, its cultural context. That is what these books are about, helping people see the problem from a biblical perspective. However, unrepentant sinners do not want to see what the Bible is trying to show us because the perspective of the Bible threatens them — and rightly so. For the past hundred years or so unrepentant sinners have had increasing control of American public education, media and even religious institutions. People have been steeped in godlessness for so long that they no longer even realize it. These books provide insight and instruction intended to repair the breaches.

Beyond Our Difficult Times, There's His Glorious Future!
Difficult times lay ahead for Jesus. He would be betrayed by Judas Iscariot (21-30). He would be denied by Peter (36-38). For Jesus, there was His departure (31-33). It would be a difficult time for His followers.
He tells them to ‘love one another’: ‘By this all men shall know that they are His disciples’ (34-35).
Jesus points them beyond the difficult times. He speaks of His glorious future. He assures them that the best is yet to be. He is preparing a place in His ‘Father’s House’ for us. He will come again to take us to Himself (1-3). He is the Way to this place, the true and living Way (6).
Now, He reveals the Father to us (9). Now, He is working in and through us (12-14). He is preparing us for His place: ‘Lord Jesus... fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there’ (Church Hymnary, 195).
Believe In Jesus And Confess Him As Your Saviour.
God's Great Plan Of Salvation
The Pharisees are developing their wicked plan. God is fulfilling His saving purpose (49-53).
The voice of ‘common sense’ is not always the voice of the Lord (4-6). There is a higher wisdom than ‘common sense’. We are to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
He leads us to put Jesus at the centre of our lives. Jesus is not suggesting that the poor are unimportant. He is emphasizing that we must not lose sight of Him.
If our concern for the poor is not truly grounded in devotion to Christ, it is not the obedience of faith (8).
The Pharisees are lying in wait for Jesus. They say, ‘The world has gone after Him’ (19). They are going after Him too - in a different way!
The crucifixion draws near. God is to be ‘glorified’ in the defeat of Satan and the salvation of sinners (28,31-32). Jesus had ‘come’ for this ‘hour’ (27).
Jesus - The Resurrection And The Life
John 11:1-44
Everything is moving on towards Christ’s death and resurrection.
On His way to the Cross, Jesus performs a mighty miracle - the raising of Lazarus (43-44) - which points unmistakably to an even greater miracle - His own resurrection (Acts 2:24). Accompanying this miracle - the raising of Lazarus - , we have Jesus’ great declaration concerning Himself: ‘I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die’ (25).
His words are immediately followed by the question: ‘Do you believe this?’ (26).
This question is put to each of us.
Jesus waits for the answer of faith: ‘Yes, Lord I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God...’(27).
This is ‘for the glory of God’ - receiving new life from ‘the Son of God...’ (4).
Victory In Jesus
"One Thing I Know ... I Was Blind, Now I See."
Empowered by God, Jesus gives sight to the blind man (3,6-7).
‘The Pharisees’ hear the man’s testimony (15). ‘Some of’ them reject the Lord (16,24).
There will always be those who refuse to believe in the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ. They will pour scorn on those who have come to know the Lord.
The man gives his testimony: ‘One thing I know... I was blind, now I see’ (25). The Pharisees continue to fire questions at him (26).
He puts the most challenging question to them: ‘Do you too want to become His disciples?’ (27). They hurl insults at him (28).
Fools attack what they don’t understand. The more they rage, the more they show their folly.
We say, ‘Lord, I believe’, and our spiritual ‘eyes’ are opened (38; 2 Corinthians 4:6).
Don’t be ‘blind’, despising the believer and the Saviour (39-40; 2 Corinthians 4:4).
Jesus Sets Us Free.
In the face of evil unbelief and persistent opposition, Jesus spoke with tremendous assurance: ‘You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world... you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am He’ (23-24).
‘As He spoke thus, many believed in Him (30) - Jesus spoke with power and love. Responding to Him in faith, we are set ‘free’ (32,36; Romans 8:2; Galatians 5:1).
* To receive His freedom, we must recognize our need: ‘everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin’ (34).
* To grow in His freedom, we must ‘continue in His Word’ (31).
To religion without Christ (39,41), Jesus’ answer is emphatic: ‘You are of your father the devil... you do not hear God’s words because you are not of God’ (44,47).
‘I am’ (58; Exodus 3:14). God is in control - not men (59,20).
Rivers Of Living Water - From Jesus
Jesus' Words Are "Spirit And Life" - "The Words Of Eternal Life."
Jesus’ words are ‘spirit and life’. They are ‘the words of eternal life’ (63,68).
While others - including Judas Iscariot - were drawing back from following Jesus, Peter confessed his faith in Jesus: ‘You are the Holy One of God’ (66-71).
It was only a matter of time before Judas Iscariot (71) and ‘the Jews’(1) formed an unholy alliance. The ‘time’ was ‘not yet’ (6,8). Even the plans of evil men could only be fully developed in the Lord’s time. When God permitted their evil plans to proceed, then it would be His time for Jesus’ crucifixion and our salvation (Acts 2:2).
‘The Jews’ were amazed at Jesus’ teaching - ‘How is it that this man has learning when he has never studied?’ (15). They did not understand that God’s wisdom is different from man’s wisdom. Obey God. Receive wisdom (17; 1 Corinthians 1:18-25).
Let's Feed On Jesus Christ, "The Living Bread."
Jesus said, ‘I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst’ (35).
Jesus had enemies - ‘The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, “I am the bread which comes down from heaven”’ (41).
Christ’s enemies are still with us. They ‘murmur among themselves’ (43).
How are we to respond to this situation? We must feed on Jesus Christ, ‘the Living Bread’ (51).
Whatever difficulties we may face, the Lord provides for us: ‘You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies’ (Psalm 23:5).
We have His invitation: ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good!’ (Psalm 34:8).
With His provision and invitation, let us make our response: ‘We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, and long to feast upon Thee still’ (Church Hymnary, 571).
Search The Scriptures - And Come To Christ!
‘Search the Scriptures’ - and make sure you ‘come to Christ and receive life’ (39-40).
From Jesus’ miracles - the feeding of the five thousand (1-13) and His walking on water (16-21) - we learn about faith in Christ.
Jesus is more than a ‘prophet’. He is ‘the Bread of God... which comes down from heaven’ (14, 33).
He is not merely a human ‘king’. He is the divine King - ‘Lord of lords and King of kings’ (15; Revelation 17:14).
When the storms of life are raging, Jesus says, ‘It is I; do not be afraid’ (20). He assures us of His final victory - ‘they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them’ (Revelation 17:14).
‘Will your anchor hold in the storms of life?... We have an anchor that keeps the soul... Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love’ (Church Hymnary, 412).
Let's Honour The Son Of God By Listening To His Voice.
John 4:43-5:29
In Jesus’ healings, we see the love of God. He ‘went about doing good.’ In His healings, we see the Source of His spiritual strength: ‘God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power’ (Acts 10:38).
We look beyond Jesus to God the Father: ‘mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through Him’ (Acts 2:22). Jesus speaks of His unique relationship with the Father (19, 26). Jesus is no mere servant. He is ‘the Son’. We are to ‘honour the Son’ as well as the Father (23).
Through Christ, we receive ‘eternal life’ (24). The gift of eternal life is the gift of God’s love. In love, God ‘gave His only Son’. ‘In His Son’, there is eternal life. ‘This life’ is given to everyone who ‘believes in the Son of God’ (3:16; 1 John 5:10-12). Listen to ‘the voice of the Son of God’, believe and ‘live’ (25).
Jesus' Ministry Of Love
Here, we see Jesus’ ministry of love.
He brings the Samaritan woman out of her bondage to sin and into the joy of His salvation.
Jesus comes to the woman in love. His love overcomes cultural divisions. His love breaks down cultural barriers (9).
This is not simply the story of one woman. It is the story of ‘many Samaritans’ coming to faith in Christ (39). There are two ‘stages’ in their coming to faith.
* First, they ’believed in Him because of the woman’s testimony’ (39).
* Second, ‘they believed because of His Word’ (41).
The Samaritans came to trust Jesus as ‘the Saviour of the world’ (42). The woman said that ‘salvation is of the Jews’ (22). It is also ‘to the Greek’ (Romans 1:16). The Gospel is for all.
Pray that the human word will be empowered by the divine Word (1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2:13).
God So Loved The World.
John 3:1-36
We say, ‘I’ll turn over a new leaf’. Christ says, ‘You must be born again’ (3,7).
Our way of thinking begins with ‘I’. Christ’s way of salvation begins with ‘God’: ‘God so loved the world...’ (16).
Begin with ‘I’ and you have sin, guilt and condemnation (Romans 3:10-11). Begin with God and you have Good News for sinners: ‘God shows His love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us’ (Romans 5:8).
* Through faith in Christ, we are ‘born of the Spirit’ (6-8; 1:12).
* The Spirit of God is the Spirit of holiness, love and truth.
* Those who are ‘born of the Spirit’ are to live a life of holiness, love and truth (1 John 4:2-3, 6-7, 12-13; 5:2-3).
‘Come to the light’. ‘Do what is true’. ‘Obey the Son’. Let Christ increase. This is the work of the Spirit in us (20-21, 36, 29, 34).
Learning From Jesus
Andrew brought his brother, Simon Peter, to Jesus (40-42).
‘You are... You shall be...’ (42). Jesus looks beyond what we are now. He sees what we will become through the transforming power of His grace.
The ‘water’ became ‘wine’ (9). This was the Lord’s doing. In Christ, we have been ‘made alive’. This is the work of God. He is ‘rich in mercy’. He loves us with a ‘great love’ (Ephesians 2:4-5).
At a wedding, Jesus rejoices with those who rejoice (1-11). In the temple, He rebukes those who are proud (13-17).
There was ‘death’ in the temple. Those who were spiritually ‘dead’ acted in complete disregard for the true purpose of God’s House - ‘My House shall be called a house of prayer’ (Matthew 21:13).
‘Raised from the dead’, we receive ‘new life’ (22; Romans 6:4).
Be real with Jesus. He will bless you (23-25).
