romans-8:28

God’s own love has begotten a family which loves Him, so that we read in the Word of “them that love God” (Rom. 8; 1 Cor. 2). His love is declared to be “His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins;” and we are called upon to behold the manner of His love, in that nothing le... Read More

The work of the Holy Spirit of God finds a large place in the Epistle to the Ephesians. This might be expected where the mystery concerning Christ and the assembly is so prominent, for the Spirit’s special mission in the world during the present period is immediately connected therewith.

We live in the day when this has been made known to those who are the subjects of God’s redeeming grace, who have heard and believed the Gospel, and who are saved and are sealed by the Spirit.

Romans 8:28 was one of many verses Elsie and l claimed after her stroke, and we have repeated it often. When I was preparing this message, I d... Read More

"The Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from evil" (2 Thessalonians 3:3, R.V.). When once we see and accept His purpose for our lives to the extent that it becomes our will also, the details of His process cease to matter. "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" (Job. 13:1... Read More

"Rejoice in the Lord always!" (Philippians 4:4). Exhaustive effort brings home the necessity of strengthening rest. The believer will not be ready to enter into his spiritual rest until he is utterly worn out by his unsuccessful efforts to conquer sin and the old man. There is no rest for the "wretc... Read More

"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various trials" (James 1:2).
