“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way.” John "14":6 God’s way for man is not a route which can be charted on a map; indeed it is not a thing at all but a Person. His Son is the only means for attaining his end. The one and only way that leads from where […]
“Lay hold on the life eternal whereunto thou wast called and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy "6":12 We hold the view that a changed life without a corresponding oral confession is inadequate. Change in conduct is no substitute for confession with the mouth. I have frequently heard
“Come and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem that we be no more a reproach.” Nehemiah "2":17 Separation to God, which means separation from the world, is a first principle of Christian living. If God wants His city with its measurements and its glory in eternity, then we must build in human hearts
“Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down shaken together running over. . . .” Luke "6":38 God is willing to supply our needs super abundantly if we will let Him. Never for a moment think that He is poor. The cattle upon a thousand hills are His; all things belong

“For lo the kingdom of God is within ["margin": in the midst of] you.” Luke "17":21 What did Jesus mean when He said these words to the Pharisees? He simply "meant": “I am standing here.” We all know that the kingdom of God could not be “within” the Pharisees, but on that day the kingdom
“Besides me there is no "God": I will gird thee though thou hast not known me.” Isaiah "45":5 In this passage, we have a very peculiar thing. Cyrus, conqueror of Babylon and king of Persia, did not know God; yet he is described in these verses as the Lord’s anointed. In the Scriptures, anointing always
“And the Lord of that servant being moved with compassion released him and forgave him the debt.” Matthew "18":27 Do you see that this pardon illustrates the gospel?
