Deuteronomy 8:15-16

Reading: Matthew 3:13-4:11 As you know, we are in these mornings occupied with the Holy Spirit's biography of Jesus Christ which He is writing in the spiritual history of believers. Last time we commenced a new chapter in this biography, the chapter which contains the baptism, the anointing and the ... Read More

Reading: Deuteronomy 8. "And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee..." "Brethren, I count not myself yet to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things that are before, I press on toward the goal, u...

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth. Having drawn up this army, and roused their zeal — for both these things were requisite, both that they should be drawn up in array and subject to each other, and that their spirit should be aroused — and having inspired them with ...

Here we come to things offered to idols. There are two distinct directions about that. They had to own the idol was nothing, and yet own it was something to the consciences of men. Looked at it in itself, as an idol, it was nothing; and the meat offered to it was what God created. But then the consc... Read More

Genesis does not begin with any counsels nor even with the existence of God, though both are given in the New Testament. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth": this is the opening of the creation. There is nothing of counsels, but you are before the world, and also get more in the... Read More

This expression, "ends of the world," has its importance as also this, "once in the end of the world," etc. (Heb. 9:26). It i... Read More

Numbers is, in its principle, the testing of man down here in the wilderness; we are viewed typically as redeemed Christians, but still in the wilderness, and tested. Joshua is, in figure, divine energy getting rid of Satan; while at the same time ev... Read More

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

The Bible Herald, 1879, pp. 62-67, 102-105. It is the seal of the Spirit which sets free; "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17). But, further, the basis of deliverance is the work of Christ. By faith, and the Holy Ghost, we reckon ourselves as dead, although living on the... Read More

The coming of the Lord is connected itself with the whole life and ways of the Christian, and we will now look a little into this. I turn to it not simply to bring proof of His coming, but to see the way in which it is connected with all the thoughts and with all the feelings of the Christian's life... Read More
