To my mind, there is nothing more clearly taught in the divine Word that the following facts: 1. “Regeneration plants in us a new and divine nature.” 2. Entire sanctification destroys and removes the old nature; and 3. From these two facts, it necessarily follows that during the interval between the... Read More

Mark 4:3-10, 13-20 There is yet still more to all that Jesus taught about material stewardship. In light of all that He said on this subject, it is amazing how little of it is mentioned in most churches. When it is, it is too often softened.

Last month, George Sodini walked into a women's aerobics class at an LA Fitness Club just a few miles from where I live. He turned out the lights and began shooting into the darkness, firing fifty rounds. Within seconds, he killed three women and wounded nine others. Then he shot and killed himself.... Read More

John 14-16 are all about Jesus’ predict... Read More

1. The Peace of God and the God of Peace (Philippians 4) It is said that the fruit of the Spirit is “love, joy, peace,” etc. (Gal. 5:22); and this comes out in Philippians in a way found in no other part of the Scriptures. God would have this fruit to abound amongst believers today. You cannot find ... Read More

"Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). There will be no standing against the enemy's accusations until we are firmly assured of, and settled on, the fact that our Father is at peace with us because of our living union with His Belove...

"In [this] freedom Christ has made us free–completely liberated us; stand fast then" (Galatians 5:1, Amp.). We are never going to be able to stand before our Father in prayer and fellowship because we are fit in ourselves. We finally come to see that we are in His presence because of our position in...
