(The Full Gospel) 11. Two Types Of Backsliders And Two Types Of Leaders
There are two types of backsliders - and Jesus spoke about both of them in Luke 15. The first one He described as a lost sheep. The second one He pictured as a lost son. The Lost Sheep "What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 12. A Church Triumphant Over Satan
There were only two occasions when Jesus spoke about the church - in Matthew 16:18 & 18:17-20. And on both these occasions He spoke about Satan battling against the church. In the first reference, Jesus spoke of Satan attacking the church directly through the forces of spiritual death - through evil... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 13. No Man Can Boast In God's Presence
"No man should boast before God....ust as it is written, 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord'" (1 Corinthians 1:29, 31). God does everything in such a way that no man will ever be able to boast in eternity concerning anything that he himself did or accomplished. God is a jealous God and He will ne... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 14. Warnings To The Church For The Last Days
"The forces (of the antichrist) will defile the holy place and put a stop to the daily sacrifices....He will flatter those who disregard the covenant of God, and thus win them over to his side. "But the people who know their God will be strong and do great things. And those with spiritual understand... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 15. What A Happy Year It Will Be
"The Sabbath (and so also each of God's laws) was made to benefit man, and not man to benefit the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27). All of God's laws are meant to make us happy. God did not create man because He needed creatures to keep some laws that He had already made. No. On the contrary He made the laws af... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 16. Will You Shrink Away From The Lord When He Returns?
"Abide in Him, so that when he appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming." (1 John 2:28). The coming of the Lord is something that all believers are looking forward to with great joy. Why then will some believers have to shrink away from the Lord's presence ... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 17. The Influence Of One Man
"I searched for ONE MAN among them who should build up the wall and stand before Me....but I did not find even one man" (Ezekiel 22:30). God has many tasks to accomplish in this world, and all of them are not of equal importance. For the unimportant tasks, He may use anyone. But for the really impor... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 18. Learning Gentleness From Jesus
"Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart" (Matthew 11:29). Jesus told us to learn two things from Him - humility and gentleness. Generally speaking, many have spoken and written about the humility of Christ. But not much is written or spoken about the gentleness of Christ. This has led to... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 19. Your Decisions Determine What You Become
"I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me" (John 6:38). Jesus tells us here in His own words what He came on earth to do. And in this one sentence we have a description of how Jesus lived every single day of His entire life on earth. The thirty years of Jesus' ... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 2. The Balance Of Truth
"If you leave God's paths and go astray (to the right or to the left), you will hear a Voice behind you say, 'No, this is the way; walk here'" (Isaiah 30:20, 21 - TLB). The Voice referred to here is the voice of the Holy Spirit Who alerts us when we go even slightly astray (to the right or to the le... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 20. Satan Is The Ruler Of Darkness And The Father Of Lies
Satan is called "the ruler of darkness" and "the father of lies" (Ephesians 6:12; John 8:44). Both these titles are descriptive of his character and his ministry. All that constitutes spiritual darkness in this universe is a territory that has been allotted by God to Satan. All those who wander into... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 21. Helping God!!
We can create a lot of confusion in God's work and in our own lives when we use our human reasoning and try to help God according to our own understanding. "The Lord said to Abraham, 'Look towards the heavens, and count the stars. So shall your descendants be.' ....Now Sarah had borne Abraham no chi... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 22. The Ministry Of Melchizedek
"Thou art a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Hebrews 7:17). Melchizedek was an unknown man - but a man who knew God intimately - who met Abraham when Abraham was returning from a war, and blessed him with food, and with a word from God (Genesis 14:14-20). Abraham was tired and was in ... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 23. The Secret Of Discernment
"The religious rulers were sneering at Jesus.... The soldiers also mocked Him.... One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him.... But the other rebuking him said, 'This man has done nothing wrong" (Luke 22:35-41). It is indeed amazing that while the elderly Bible-scholars in ... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 24. Submission To The Elders Of The Church
"Obey your leaders and submit to them" (Hebrews 13:17). Where you have confidence in your local church-elders, it is easy to submit to them in all matters. But perhaps you do not have confidence in your elders. Then you must distinguish between church matters and personal matters, so that you know c... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 25. A Spiritual Check-up
Have I spoken or thought evil of anyone today? Did I speak any idle words today? Did I indulge in overeating or laziness or any other filthy lust? Did I act in a selfish way towards anyone today? Was I happy or even unconcerned about someone else's failure? Did I seek the kingdom of God and His righ... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 26. Proving God's Perfect Will
When faced with an issue concerning which we are unsure as to whether it is God's will or not, it is good for us to ask ourselves twelve questions. As we answer these questions honestly, it will become increasingly clear to us what the will of God is. Is it contrary to any of the teachings of Jesus ... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 3. Having A Firm Grip On The Christian Life
God has given us five fingers on each hand. With these, we can hold on to things firmly. You could hold a glass with two fingers, but the grip won't be as firm as when you hold it with all five fingers. In the same way, God has given us five gifts through which we can have firm grip on the Christian... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 4. The Threefold Exchange At The Cross
Everything that God does for us is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). Grace is God's hand reaching down from heaven offering us every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Faith is our hand reaching up and taking those blessings from God's hand. There are at least fou... Read More

(The Full Gospel) 5. That Which Was From The Beginning
"What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life - and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to ...
