galatians-5:25

V. 9 “How can these things be?” Nicodemus represents throughout this dialogue the people of the Old Covenant - vainly confident of their “knowledge” and their national: privileges. “Behold thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God and knowest his will and approvest t...

It is a doubtful exegesis which teaches that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night because of fear of the Jewish Council (of which he was a member). His interview with Christ took place too early in the ministry of the Saviour for that. John the Baptist was not yet cast into prison. The envy and the enmi... Read More

Take heed unto thyself. Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" - Amos 3:3 Many Christians today haven't a clue who the Holy Spirit is. This is simply because they have never been introduced. I am not suggesting they have never come in contact with the Holy Spirit, or else they would surely not be Christians at all... Read More
