All studies of the Kingdom of Heaven must begin with the King Himself. No kingdom is greater than its king, nor more wise or powerful than the one who is best qualified to rule it. The Bible tells us about this King, the greatest Ruler of all, the King of all Kings. If we study it carefully what doe... Lee mas

Prayer is basic to the soul-winner. He who would speak much to man for God must speak much to God for man. The Apostle said, "We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word" (Acts 6:4). Prayer was first, ministry next. Paul asked the Thessalonians to "pray for us, that...

(Compare Matthew 3:13–17; Luke 3:21–23) DISCOVERY OF THE FACTS For what purpose had Jesus come all the way from Nazareth to Jordan? (Matt. 3:13). Why was Jesus baptized? (Matt. 3:15; Ro. 8:3; 2 Cor. 5:21). Why was it that God chose just this occasion to give this wonderful testimony to His Son that ... Lee mas

If we would know the fulness of blessing that there is in the prayer life, it is important not only that we pray in the right way, but also that we pray at the right time. Christ's own example is full of suggestiveness as to the right time for prayer. 1. In the 1st chapter of Mark, the 35th verse, w... Lee mas

"Through Him are all things" (Romans 11:36) Adam was created by God with fantastic powers in his soul. He could give a name to every animal and bird that God had made (Genesis 2:19). We find it difficult to remember even a few of those thousands of names. Adam could give a different name to each. Th... Lee mas

I saw a cartoon once of the disciples waiting in the upper room to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:12-14). (We know now that they waited for ten days, but at that time, none of them knew how long they would have to wait.) One of them walks out of the door on the ninth day, saying that he is t... Lee mas
