For Reading and Meditation:     1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Having spent the past days identifying the nature of the problem which almost caused the psalmist to give up, we pause today to focus on another great value of the book of Psalms - the fact that it presents its teaching in the form of a recital of experiences. We have exactly the same kind of teaching in the...

For Reading and Meditation:
     2 Corinthians 4:7-12

Today we stay with the thought that half our spiritual perplexities would never arise if we started out by being prepared not to understand immediately the things that God does or allows. We must accept that one of the fundamental principles of the Christian life is the truth that there will be many times when...

For Reading and Meditation:     1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

We continue meditating on the importance of looking at life "steadily and whole". I venture to suggest that people who are not Christians are unable to see life as a whole. How can they, when their thinking takes place only on the level of the natural? Natural thinking is notoriously partial and incomplete....

"God has shone in…for the shining forth." Here we learn that we are not meant to be the terminals of God's blessings but only the channels. The expression "God has shone in" refers to our conversion. Whereas in the original creation He commanded light to shine, in the new creation He Himself has shone in our hearts.

But He did not do it in order that we might selfishly hoard the floodtide of His blessings. Rather He did it so that the knowledge of His glory in the face of Jesus Christ...

God... has
shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)


The Letter to
the Galatians really can be summed up in this way: a Christian is not one who
does this and that and another thing which is prescribed to be done; a
Christian is not one who refrains from doing this...

God, who… made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV)



We stand by revelation, "God
who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ." "God... called me through grace to reveal His Son
in me." - Gal. 1:16. How...

We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Corinthians
4:7 NIV)














All God’s purpose, all that God means for us on that other side of the Cross in
union with Christ risen and exalted absolutely demands brokenness, complete

God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His
light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory
displayed in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV)


The principle of the New
Covenant is a first-hand individual revelation of Christ as the knowledge of God
in terms of glory in the heart of the believer. Every individual believer only...

I saw a door standing open in heaven, and... the voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you....” (Revelation 4:1 NLT)

My aim, in cooperation with the Lord, is to make everything preeminently practical; and so we apply the challenge immediately, and I ask you, is the Holy Spirit within you presenting God's fullness in His Son in an ever-growing way? Is that the nature of your spiritual life? If not, then...

Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.If anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. § I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone … not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a...
