A.W. PinkThe ignorance which prevails in Christendom today concerning the truth about the Churches of God is deeper and more general than error on any other Scriptural subject. Many who are quite sound evangelically and are well taught on what we call the great fundamentals of the faith, are most unsound ecc... Read More

The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions read, "with an holy kiss"; and so some copies, as in Ro 16:16 and elsewhere; See Gill on "Ro 16:16"; and intends such a kiss, as is not only opposite to everything that is lascivious and impure, ...

Significant Salutations

T. Austin-SparksReading: Romans 16 This is a chapter which I expect you do not often read.

John 10:22-42

John ChrysostomAnd it was at Jerusalem, the Feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

His praise shall continually be in my mouth

John Nelson DarbyIn the third chapter of Philippians we find the spiritual energy which carries the saint onward in the race to Christ in glory. This chapter treats more of the power which gives him complete superiority over all the circumstances through which he has to pass, not as making him insensible to their so... Read More
