Acts 20:35 - I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Hebrews 13:16 - But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well plea... Read More

“Sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it” (Gen. 4:7, emphasis added). As was pointed out in the previous chapter, our sanctification is a joint effort on the part of God and ourselves. We grow to be progressively more like Jesus as we cooperate with the Father...

The Bible repeatedly commands us to “rejoice in the Lord” (Phil 3:1; 4:4). These are actually the words Apostle Paul wrote from inside the prison to the Christians in Philippi. It’s usually the visitors to prisons who would encourage the inmates. But here we see the other way round! That’s what poin... Read More

“The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Matthew 20:28 Paul's idea of service is the same as Our Lord's: "I am among you as He that serveth;" "ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."

A primary problem facing scientists and engineers around the world during the "space race" of the late 1950s and early 1960s centered on getting the space-traveler back through the earth's atmosphere alive. Once the problem of getting the spacecraft and occupants safely out of the atmosphere was sol... Read More

The Lord's supper is to be eaten as a memorial or remembrance of Christ. This is His own interpretation of it. The bread was mystically His body, the cup His blood, accomplishing the remission of sins. To eat and to drink of this feast was to partake of the virtues of His sacrifice, or to express su...

Proverbs 25: 12. It is blessed as well as happy to mark the characteristics of the Lord's ministry, for His ministry is the witness of what He Himself is, and He is the witness of what God is, and we thus reach God through the paths of the Lord's walk or ministry here. Every step of that way becomes... Read More
