T. Austin-SparksReading: Acts 18:24-19:6a. "Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed?" Let it be said at once that we are not here attempting to expound the person and work of the Holy Spirit, but are seeking to emphasize the importance of the Holy Spirit's personal presence within believers.

STEADFASTNESS IN CONVICTION

"My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change" (Proverbs 24.21). During the Lewis revival I well recall the mighty impact made as the powerful breath of the Spirit touched community after community. Everywhere, men and women of all ages became convicted,...

2 Corinthians 6

Matthew 16:13-28

John Nelson DarbyDear Mr. Editor, I venture to send a few disconnected notes taken many years ago at a lecture by J. N. D. on Matt. 16:13-28. As they are disconnected and imperfect I must, of course, be responsible for them in case I have missed the teacher's thoughts anywhere. I send them as I find them, in an old ... Read More
