ephesians-2:8

Our most urgent need today as Christians is to see the One whom Isaiah saw in the temple and John on Patmos, the overwhelming majesty of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and then know this Christ, who reigns in highest heaven, reigning in our hearts in reality and power and in His church in all her ...

Acts 27 must be one of the most encouraging chapters in the Bible – read it again! It is good for a Christian’s morale, telling as it does the triumphant outcome of Paul’s perilous journey to Rome as a prisoner, through storm and shipwreck. Now the Holy Spirit would hardly guide Luke to use precious... Read More

As Christians we live in a spiritual desert, in a world without that living water which alone can satisfy the thirsty heart of man. It is sad to see the many ways in which our race of rebels seeks in vain to satisfy this thirst. It is our privilege, if we belong to the Lord, not only to drink of the... Read More

I am deeply concerned that corporate prayer has such a weak pl... Read More

For some years the Spirit of God has been alerting humble, hungry Christians over the world to be ready for the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to catch away those who are ready for His appearing. In Finney’s day, though God sent mighty revivals and souls by the thousands were saved, yet not at... Read More

In 2 Corinthians 9:6-15, Paul climaxes his treatment of the grace of giving with some weighty words on the enriching ministry of Christian stewardship.
