The Three Spheres of Future Glory. THERE is still something more to learn concerning the dispensations before we can rightly understand the unique position and wonderful teaching of the later Pauline Epistles written from the prison in Rome.

As we go forward step by step in the consideration of that which our participation in Christ implies, we will find that it is the key to unfathomable riches, the Aladdin's Lamp of unspeakable power, the gateway to such happiness as we had never dreamed could be possible this side the gates of Heaven...

Shall we meet again here below, my dear -, ere we have seen ... Read More

1. The death of Jesus, God's executed judgment against the law of leaven in us -- because executed on Him, we are free from its guilt, and thereby called to purge out all practical leaven from ourselves. (1 Cor. 5: 7.) 2. The Lord's death, as exhibited in the supper, the guard against the abuse of t... Read More
