Serving A Saviour
When soundly converted the language of the soul is. “Now I am saved I would like to serve the One who has saved me!” “That is right! Only, find out first what is “that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God” (Rom. 12:2); and then serve Him accordingly. We have been saved to serve truly; but w... Read More

Show us the Father
These words expressed the height to which the desires of the Lord’s disciples rose. They had seen His wonderful works, they had heard His gracious words, they had observed His perfect life, and they had contemplated His glory—as an only one with a father;—and now, Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us ...

Sound in the Faith
“It’s bad! It tasted nasty, mother!” exclaimed a bright healthy boy, as he hastily threw away an unwholesome nut. The little man was interrogated regarding his action, but, although not able to explain much, his features looked painfully nauseated and he had done wisely. Indeed, it would be well if ... Read More

Tell My Brethren
John 20:15, 17 “She supposing Him to be the gardener.” It was the mistake of one who loved the Lord with an ardent affection. There was no doubt that Mary was deeply attached to Jesus, and coming at early morn to the tomb in which He had lain and finding it empty, she eagerly sought for His precious... Read More

That Which is Spiritual
The true condition of every believer in Christ in the present dispensation is designated by the Spirit in Scripture as “spiritual.” The house of God, too, of which he forms part, is also called spiritual. The food which he assimilates and the drink which he appropriates are likewise termed spiritual... Read More

That Worthy Name
It is a Name which embraces grace and glory, love and holiness, mercy and majesty. The numerous references to it in the Book of inspiration lead us on expectantly, until we at last behold its infinite splendours expressing themselves fully in the Lord Jesus—Jehovah the Saviour. In the last book of t... Read More

The All-Varied Wisdom of God
Ephesians 3:10 A Study as to the teaching of the precious stones mentioned in the Scriptures, Exodus 28; Ezekiel 28 and Revelation 21. That God should call such as we are, and save us by His grace, is a cause for eternal thanksgiving and praise! We were once far away from Him, undone by sin, held in... Read More

The Alphabetical Scriptures; or The Divine Acrostics
Containing testimony to the Divine Design and Inspiration of Scripture and to the Authority, Work, and Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Prefatory Note Some time ago one of the beautiful acrostics of the Bible (Prov. 31:10-31) was much spoken of. It is a scripture of great grace and comeliness, and ha... Read More

The Assembly of God
Answer to Correspondence—“When did the assembly of God begin, and of whom was it first composed?” The church of God, or more correctly the assembly of God, began when Christ gave the Spirit at Pentecost to His own disciples. These first composed the assembly. “The number of names together were about... Read More

The Bread of Life
“Jesus, our food from heaven Thou art, To feed us on our heavenward way: The Bread of life, our present part, Affords fresh grace and strength each day: And Thou dost give our souls to know The love which makes them overflow. ’Tis known in Thee, that heavenly love; It brought Thee here that we might...

The Christ of God
Luke 9:20; John 1:41; Ephesians 1:15-23, 3:17; Romans 9:4 You will have gathered from the Scriptures I have read that our subject is to be “The Christ of God.” We must distinguish His title as “The Christ” from other titles, such as “Lord.” He is, we are told in Scripture, made both “Lord” and “Chri...

The Corn of Canaan
“The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho. And they did eat of the old corn (or produce) of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day. And the manna ceased on t... Read More
H.J. Vine
The Ear
God is very jealous as to how we use our ears. Satan gained entrance to the citadel of man’s soul through the ear of Eve. We all know the man-degrading and God-dishonouring results of that. Those who are saved by grace and sealed by the Spirit, are warned again and again in regard to what is permitt... Read More

The Eternal Love of God
“Can you fix the time when God began to love you?” “No. I do not see how anyone could do that, for His love is eternal.” “Can you fix the time when the love wherewith God loves you will end?” “No. It will never cease. It cannot have an ending.” “If you cannot fix a time for its beginning or its endi... Read More

The Faith” or Something Else?
A notable conversion took place when Gamaliel’s zealous disciple turned to the Lord. The news quickly spread amongst the believers, “that he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed” (Gal. 1:23). Paul himself tells us that though he had profited in religion a... Read More

The Faithful Witness
His Words (John), Walk (Luke), Works (Mark), And Ways (Matthew) There have been, and there are, many faithful witnesses, but only one could be designated without qualification “The faithful Witness”.

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.
