romans-8:26

Right away in 7:1 Paul points out who he is speaking to and about: "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?" He's talking to them that KNOW the Law. What does he mean, the Law has dominion over man as long as he ... Read More

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" - Amos 3:3 Many Christians today haven't a clue who the Holy Spirit is. This is simply because they have never been introduced. I am not suggesting they have never come in contact with the Holy Spirit, or else they would surely not be Christians at all... Read More

Prayer to and worship of our God and Father must surely be one of the Christian's greatest privileges while here on earth. It is a privilege we need to appreciate and appropriate more. Prayer stems from the fact that we are still connected with earth; contrast worship, which originates in our connec... Read More

The Lord gives salvation to us, but He cannot give us a Christian character. Thi... Read More

"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren" Rom 8:29. Our being predestinated is related to the foreknowledge of God. He chose us because in foreknowledge He knew that we would choose Him and submit ... Read More

We easily perceive different measures of attainment, both in knowledge and grace, in the churches of old. The elevation, for instance, of that at Ephesus was much above that at Corinth. At Corinth the apostle had to occupy himself with the corruption of various errors and abuses, and was thus hinder... Read More

Brethren and friends, when I say that this Bible Conference and Preachers' Meeting--sponsored by the churches of Christ in the Louisville area--has been and is a spiritual blessing to me, I do honestly believe that every preacher present joins me in like sentiment, and I am taking the liberty just h...

Here we have another instance of how the greatest truths are brought into connection with commonplace subjects. Here is a question, whether a woman is to have a covering on or not. The whole ordering of God is brought in to say whether a woman is to wear a cap on her head (v. 3-16). It was the custo... Read More
