Reading: Romans 16 This is a chapter which I expect you do not often read. The letter proper seems to end with the "Amen" of 15:33, and it is easy to regard the final chapter as of little importance. But even though it may be a struggle to read it, I suggest that the effort is well worth making. Lik... Read More

An Appeal for Spiritual Christianity Acts 22:20 (Acts 6 & 7) It would be difficult to find a Christian who did not hold Stephen in very high esteem.

The Moral Glory of the Lord Jesus Christ J G Bellett INTRODUCTION. It is the Moral Glory, or, as we speak, the character of the Lord Jesus, on which I meditate in these pages.

Acts I. 6 When they therefore had come together, they asked of Him, saying, Lord, will You at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? When the disciples intend to ask anything, they approach Him together, that by dint of numbers they may abash Him into compliance. They well knew that in what ... Read More
