Honour your vows to the Lord

Many Christians make a promise to God only to quickly forget about it and so bring a curse upon themselves in stead of a bless... Read More

They didn’t say, "Oh, that’s all talk; don’t believe that’s true. That’s only a rumor." No, they believed the report. There was resurrection. And they put their f... Read More

Joshua 1 - 13

John Nelson DarbyJoshua 1. The first thought is to cross the Jordan. Verses 3, 4. The principles come in afterwards, namely, all the extent of the promises of God; but realization by the fact that one takes possession of them.

This book takes up Israel just on the borders of Canaan, and insists ... Read More

SECTION XI: THE PROPHECIES

Day 142, Luke 6

David ServantWhy were Jesus and the disciples going through someone else’s fields and eating his grain? Isn’t that stealing? Under the Law of Moses, it was not. God said in Deuteronomy 23:25: “When you enter your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not wield a si... Read More
