Reading: Genesis 28:10-12,19; John 1:47; Genesis 31:13; 35:1,6,7; I Corinthians 1:20; 2:14. We have been considering the sevenfold operation of life as represented for us in the book of Genesis by seven persons.

We know, of course, that the advent of the Holy Spirit inaugurated a new dispensation here on this earth. It is for us, therefore, as Christi... Read More

"There is one body, and one Spirit... one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:4). The Holy Spirit is, of course, the Spirit of... Read More

It would be a very wonderful thing if we could spend some time in seeing God's line right from the beginning up to Christ. There were many generations which came to an end, and in one place there is a large summary of what came and what finished. It says 'So-and-so lived, for so long, and he died.' ... Read More

CHAPTER 1 CREATION AND THE FALL § 1 IN our former book (The Contra Gentes) we dealt fully enough with a few of the chief points about the heathen worship of idols, and how those false fears originally arose. We also, by God's grace, briefly indicated that the Word of the Father is Himself divine, th... Read More

John 1:9 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. "The True Light". This is in contrast with false lights. How many there are in our day.
