"There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus " (Romans 8:1). Until the believer realizes that his life is safely hid with Christ in God, he will never get free from the harassment of the enemy. "When He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?" (Job 34:29). "If the L... 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

"Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). Few see and stand upon the fact that our history in Adam ended on the Cross. Our past will plague us until we acknowledge that we are now clear of Adam and safely hidden in the risen Lord Jesus–newly-born ... Read More

MORNING THOUGHTS, or DAILY WALKING WITH GOD By Octavius Winslow JULY 1. "All things work together for good to those who love God." Romans 8:28 Observe the unity of operation.

CHAPTER 3 WHAT GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER For the Hardness of Your Hearts The fact that divorce in the “Church” is statistically the same in terms of percentages as the heathen society in which we live- testifies that the Church is filled with carnality. Two equally yoked Chris... Read More

CHAPTER 5 SALVATION THAT LASTS Another Gospel? The book of Galatians is the most unique of all of Paul the Apostles epistles for this one reason- it was written totally by his own hand. Normally Paul would write a salutation at the beginning and end of each book and dictate the contents to one of hi... Read More

THE NARROW ROAD TO SALVATION (Revisiting the Book of Romans) Part 6 By Robert Wurtz II What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ ... Read More
