Oneness
“One in the Father and the Son” (John 17:21) Article 1 In the heart of every true believer on the Son of God, there is a desire for the manifest oneness of those who belong to our Lord Jesus Christ; for the oneness of those who are the love gift of the Father to the Son. That desire will be fully sa... Read More

Our Great Example
The incomparable perfection of our Lord Jesus Christ shines in unsullied beauty, whether in His exaltation and glory or in the lowly circumstances of this life. It is this unchanging excellency which distinguishes Him from all others. The “yesterday” of His humiliation, and the “today” of His patien... Read More

Our Spirits
At any moment the bodies of the redeemed may be glorified! Our Lord Jesus Christ will fashion them like unto His body of glory in “the twinkling of an eye,” when He returns to claim His own. Meanwhile our spirits are constantly cared for by God our Father, enabling us to respond to Himself in a meas... Read More

Praising and Blessing God
With the above words the inspired gospel of the perfect Man ends (Luke 24:53), and we may well ask, what caused the disciples’ hearts to rise up thus and with such great joy to praise and bless God? They had just seen that perfect Man ascend from earth to heaven, and as our faith lays hold of the st... Read More

Pre-eminence
“That in all things He might have the Pre-eminence” (Colossians 1:18). The question of pre-eminence has been settled long since. It has been settled unalterably by the One who could do it with authority and finality—by our blessed God Himself. Pride, restlessness, and ambition have at all times aime... Read More

Precious Stones of Scripture
1. The Chrysolite “The seventh, chrysolite” (Revelation 21:20). The harmony which any simple believer is enabled to trace all through the Bible confirms him as to its divine inspiration in a way that no mere literary study could do. And that beautiful harmony in which he rejoices also provides him w... Read More

Present Effects of the “Blessed Hope”
Notes of an Address There is no truth in Scripture that produces greater practical results when properly received than the truth of the Lord’s Second Coming. An illustration will help us to understand this. Look at that home; the young mother and all the children are affected by a bright hope. The h... Read More

Purpose of Heart
Just as he was nearing the end of a strenuous race, Paul earnestly encouraged Timothy to keep the straight track—to “strive lawfully,” for Paul was finishing his course, he had kept the faith. “Continue thou,” he said to the younger runner, “in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assure...

Questions on Prophetic Subjects

Reconciliation
Romans 5:10-11; 11:13-15; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Four times, beloved, we have “reconciliation,” as such, spoken of in the New Testament, and the very fact that it crowns the first great division of the Epistle to the Romans, shows its importance. For when we reach this 11th verse—the mountain peak of... Read More

Recover us Again
There is a response awakened in many hearts by that deep-toned chord of Psalm 85:6, “Wilt Thou not revive us again: that Thy people may rejoice in Thee.” The word “revive” could be read “recover” (khaw-yaw, the same as in Isaiah 38:9). The answer of God in Isaiah 57:15 is rich with encouragement. Th... Read More

It is mine, and I only had that rights.” God has redeemed thos... 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.
