john-13:14

READING 1 Passing by the numbering of the people and the redemption of the firstborn, we might begin with the laws and appointments of chapter 5; they were to keep the camp holy - put out the leper, and so on - "that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell." God's dwelling with the... Read More

Bible Treasury Vol. 15, page 380. The whip and the scourge may be righteous; but there is no winning the heart of man with these. Nor is it righteousness which reigns among the saints of God, but grace through righteousness unto eternal life. Alas! how many sins that might have been washed away (Joh... Read More

I wish to take it up in a practical way, as it bears on us as Christians, in the walk of Christ... Read More

(Words of Faith, Vol. 3, 1884, page 261.) John 1. In the first part of this chapter we get abstractedly what Christ was: the Word, the Word with God, and who was God - life and light. An important element is brought out here, and that is, that when divine light came into the world in grace, the worl... Read More

Thank you for the privilege of being here. I am so aware that God has given me a peculiar and singular privilege of being in your country. And I am deeply grateful.
