ephesians-6:12

Perhaps one of the most mysterious statements in the Bible is that made by Paul in the "Ephesian Letter" (3:10) that "how unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenlies might be made known through the Church the manifold wisdom of God." At least it implies that the Apostle had been given a... Read More

We are considering the greatness and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ as represented in the ark of the covenant, and we now leave the wilderness and come to the crossing of the Jordan. Thus we have open before us the Book of Joshua, especially the first three chapters. Here we are in that great forwar... Read More

"The Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name..." (John 14:26). "John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit..." (Acts 1:5). We are now going to think about the Holy Spirit as the 'Spirit of Holiness' (Rom. 1:3) - the Holy Spirit. In the ... Read More

In the life of the people of God, whether individually or corporately, there constantly occur times of crisis, or turning-points. The Old Testament describes many such times of particular and peculiar peril in the life of the Lord's people, and shows how God has moved to meet the situation at such t... Read More

We have now reached so far on in our consideration as to make wise and profitable a brief review before we take the next specific steps. We began these meditations by noting that the Bible focuses everything upon a primal rift and rupture in Heaven and then on earth, or, before the present created o... Read More

This is not a treatise on demon-possession, although reference will be made to the unhappy reality. At one point we have said that, in the Fall, the powers of evil entered into alliance with the soul of man by his complicity with Satan. Then we have sought to show how those powers of evil take full ... Read More
