ephesians-4:32

Paul warned Timothy that everyone who endeavored to live a godly life would suffer persecution (II Timothy 3:12). Undoubtedly, the bulk of this persecution comes not only from physical entities, but from spiritual ones as well. That’s because we wrestle not against anti-Christian governmental author...

"To another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:8, 9). We have not passed this way hitherto. I believe that Satan has many devices and that they are worse today than ever before; but I also believe that there is to be a full manifestation on th... Read More

Text: "A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle" (Prov 18:19 ).

We often attempt to get past the pain of such situations with comments like, "That's okay" or "Don't worry about it," and yet we just can't seem to shake that penetrating sting. Wh... Read More

APOSTLES If any man build a house, he will begin by the foundation and will not try to make the roof first. It is hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that an apostolic service is analogous to laying a foundation. Indeed the great Apostle to the Gentiles uses the figure where responsible w...

Text: "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Eph. 4:30.)
