Gatherings of Assembly Character
During special seasons of revival, and the various activities which accompany such times, there is usually present the danger of being carried to extremes, so that the safe ground of the faith is practically forsaken, and that which is designated by the Spirit of God, “the pillar and base of the tru...

Genesis: The Beginning and End
The first man, Adam, appears at the beginning. He sinned, and was shut out from Paradise and the tree of life. At the end of Genesis another is raised up; Joseph is divinely marked out for supremacy; and, through rejection, defamation, suffering, imprisonment and faithfulness, he rises to be lord of...

Glorify God in Your Body”
Thus Paul wrote to the believers at Corinth, for they were in danger of using their bodies in a wrong way (1 Cor. 6:18-20). A day is approaching when the bodies of the redeemed will be altogether for the praise of God’s glory. They are bodies of humiliation now: they will be bodies of glory then, fo... Read More

God’s Children
“God is Love” Only in one chapter in the Bible do these glorious words occur, but twice are they given there (1 John 4:8, 16). Love is the nature of the eternal God. This has been declared and manifested in the fact that He sent His only-begotten Son into the world. “Herein is love, not that we love... Read More

God’s Organism or Man’s Organizations?
“There is one body and one Spirit” (Ephesians 4:4). There is one living organism, so constituted by the one Holy Spirit of God, who indwells the members of that vital system. It is the one body which is inclusive of every true believer in Christ, the living Head of the assembly. It is not a mere org... Read More

Grace Reigns
Let us not hide the glorious truth that grace reigns today! Let none silence or hinder the telling-forth of “the gospel of the grace of God!” and let it be known to all who believe on our Lord Jesus Christ, that they are “not under law but under grace!” Grace is on the throne! Tell the timid and tea... Read More

Great Rejoicing and Manifold Trials
Great rejoicing amid many trials is the experience of many today, and these things have marked the elect of God from the earliest days of the Faith. Peter wrote to those who were “scattered,” and he desired that “grace and peace” should be multiplied unto them. Writing of God’s salvation, he said, “... Read More

He . . . Became Obedient”
When the Holy Spirit speaks of the moral glories of Jesus Christ, there is a delicacy of expression and refinement of language which, though very simple, is altogether Divine, and in a world which is a compound of Assyrian haughtiness and Babylonish corruption, we are apt to be so affected as to be ...

He Saw No Corruption”
Some notes relating to Incorruptibility The apostle to the Gentiles urged this fact concerning our Lord Jesus Christ upon those who heard him at Antioch: contrasting Christ with the Psalmist he said, “David indeed having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep and was added ...

Honour the Son
“That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honours not the Son honours not the Father which has sent Him” (John 5:23). In gatherings where a deep sense of God’s presence has been realized, one has often experienced the grace and power with which those present have s... Read More

How God is Known as Father
The highest knowledge of all is obtained through our Lord Jesus Christ alone! Advanced religious thought and modernism deny this! While they profess to reverence Him in measure, they refuse the honour which essentially belongs to Him as the Revealer of the Father. Salvation and redemption are in Him... Read More

How to Conduct Oneself in God’s House which is the Assembly of the Living God
The above words are given to us by the Spirit in 1 Timothy 3:15, where we are also told that the assembly is “the pillar and base of the truth.” It is where the faith of God’s elect is found, where the faith which was once delivered to the saints is maintained without deduction or addition, without ...

I Come Quickly: Hold Fast
Revelation 3:11 The Lord is coming again, and Scripture shows plainly what will mark those who are prepared for that momentous event. Enoch was ready to go when God took him, and Elijah also, in his day, and they were both translated. Those who are in practical readiness for Christ’s coming have Him... Read More

I have Loved Thee . . . I Come Quickly
Revelation 3:9-11 These words are said by our Lord Jesus Christ, not to men who are prominent in world affairs or who are famous for great learning or successful work, but to His saints who have a “little power,” and who look with eager longing for His return; and who use the power they have to keep...

I Have Overcome
Those who believe on the Son of God have something to overcome. Eternal life is theirs through faith in Him and they can never perish, but there is that which is antagonistic, and it is dangerous to be indifferent in regard to the matter, lest we be overcome instead of being overcomers. In various f... Read More

I Trust My Soul to Jesus
Tom was the son of a miner living in the north of England. His parents loved him tenderly, and, being earnest Christians, they often prayed that he might be brought to accept the Saviour, who was so dear to them. He was indifferent, however, and loved the way of the world. Tom having become very ill... Read More

In Christ Jesus
2 Timothy In the second letter to Timothy “the difficult times” that should be present in the last days are spoken of once, but of that which is ours “in Christ Jesus” seven times. This is surely significant, and it would be healthful if we asked ourselves sincerely in the presence of God, Are we co... Read More

In the Midst of the Assembly
Who is in the Midst of the Assembly? The answer to this question determines for us the nature and character of the gathering; and seeing it is our Lord Jesus Christ Himself—as Hebrews 2:12 tells us—the One who is exalted above all as Heir of all things, we may well marvel at the honour which is thus...

In Thy Presence
From the darkness and the perils Of a world by Satan swayed Peace we find in God’s own presence, Where our minds on Him are stayed; Leaving thoughts that once distressed us, Holy themes our tongues employ; Grace and truth are known in Jesus, By Whose blood we are brought nigh. Gone the heaviness and... Read More

H.J. Vine ( - )
H.J. Vine was involved in the early Plymouth Brethren movement. The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism.Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over and above "the [mere] tradition of men" (Mark 7:8). Brethren generally see themselves, not as a denomination, but as a network (or even as a collection of overlapping networks) of like-minded independent churches.
