The Primitive Church. Before we pass on to the cleansing and reappearance of the divine ecclesia, let us stand on the summit of present truth and point our telescope back over the mists and clouds that move along at our feet, and over the 1,260 years of utter night that extend far beyond, even into ...

In my article last month, The Limits of God’s Grace, I tried to show how God’s grace is frequently presented in such a manner that it nullifies the numerous scriptures that clearly speak of the absolute necessity of holiness if one is to ultimately gain entrance into heaven. Those scriptures are too... Read More

Because for the first time in God’s dealings with His people He has succeeded in bringing into union with Himself and into His Temple, a man who is both king and priest in Israel. Not in any sense of fullness, that is true, but in seed-form we have in David a man who is both king and priest; and in ... Read More

There are many, thank God, who truly rejoice in being righteously made free from the burden of their sins: in being justified freely by God’s grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. They know that His atoning work is so perfect, that God can say concerning those who believe on Him, “T... Read More

For when we reach this 11th verse—the mountain peak of... Read More

Notes of an address given in Edinburgh in April, 1921 It was by the apostle to the Gentiles the Spirit of God said, “Other Foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” In these days, therefore, when every fundamental truth is vehemently assaulted, those who are of the faith o...

"For we. . . worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh" (Philippians 3:3) Failure to live the Christian life is due to one's utter inability, but it is all governed by the Father. He teaches us to become proficient in failure (within ourselves), in o... Read More

God created man as a tripartite being. This simply means that man is a spirit that lives in the body making him/her a living soul. The body has its contact in the physical world, but the spirit gives us contact with the spiritual world. When a person is born they are spiritually dead. This means tha... Read More

BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH! By Stan Thomson For centuries, the Church slept unawares of the coming of Christ for His bride. 150 years ago, the Spirit of God raised up men to recover this precious truth. The midnight cry went forth: "Behold the Bridegroom cometh!" (Matt. 25:1 – 7). What was the eff... Read More
