The Name of the Lord in Zion

T. Austin-Sparks“Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation...

The New Cruse

T. Austin-SparksReading: 2 Kings 2:19-22; Acts 1, 2; Mark 9:50. When the above passages are read together it will be seen that they are bound by a common tie; namely, salt, and what it signifies.

The Old Testament Taken Up in the Book of "The Acts"
