ephesians-1:9-10

We have under consideration a phrase from the Letter to the Ephesians, “ALL THINGS IN CHRIST”: “...unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ...” (Eph. 1:10). That is the great general vision that is occupying us, and we will now begin to break it up into its par... Read More

"And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore..." (Matt. 28:18-19). "...and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he wrought i... Read More

Reading: Rev. 14:1-5; Acts 2:23; Eph. 1:4-11. “These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth” (Rev. 14:4).

In the course of our lifetime we have beheld a new phenomenon, or the return of an old one. It is the meteoric rise of dictators. We say truly when we say that this has been phenomenal. In a few short months, from nowhere and nothing, from ostracism, ridicule, and almost general suspicion, such have... Read More
