acts-2:40-47

Acts II. 37 Now when they heard these words (E.V. 'this,') they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Do you see what a great thing gentleness is? More than any vehemence, it pricks our hearts, inflicts a keener wound. For... Read More

If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him. 1. We need everywhere works and actions, not a mere show... Read More

This series of articles has been arguing that the root cause of the moral collapse in America and more specifically the church has been the loss of the fear of God. My primary appeal to this fact is that on the whole those calling themselves Christians are basically doing the same things in the same... Read More

In June of 1990 I found myself unexpectedly in awe. I had joined a team of about 250 people to participate in a two week evangelistic crusade in Mombasa, Kenya, a seaside city of roughly a million people. The organizers divided most of us into teams of three and we went hut to hut, house to house pr... Read More

He went into Macedonia, met Titus, and wrote them the second letter, now t... Read More

Dear 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

*These are verbatim notes of Readings in Belfast some years ago. Condensations of these have already appeared, but hitherto the full report has never been printed. It is hoped to give others as opportunity offers. — ED. A Reading on 1 Corinthians 2. Well now, we get the apostle's use of all this, an... Read More

In this well-known and remarkable chapter, we have the results of what we have been considering in what precedes. Chapter 5:1-11 gave us the peace, present grace, and hope, which Christ's dying for our sins gave us, and what God is to us in and by it. This chapter gives our state and place before Hi... Read More
