john-13:34

There are two points which are on my mind to say a word about. First, the way in which the Lord's own presence orders the path and gives character to testimony. Secondly, the way in which personal attachment to the Lord Jesus Christ gives intelligence in everything. The way to get spiritual intellig... Read More

The previous part of the chapter is addressed to the world, as to laying up treasure for themselves. At verse 32 the Lord begins with the disciples. The coming of the Lord does not present itself, when we think of it rightly, as a thing we learn; but I see in Scripture that it is constantly identifi... Read More

I wish to speak a little tonight on the Lord's Second Coming, to look at some of the Scriptures that bring it before us, not as prophecy, but the hope of Christ's coming for His saints as He has promised. I wish to take it up in a practical way, as it bears on us as Christians, in the walk of Christ... Read More

ANGELS The Greek word for angels means (and is sometimes translated) messenger. It is used for God, for men (as in Lk.7:24), for man's spirit (Acts 12:15) but primarily for a great order of spirit-creatures. Our study will be confined to these creatures. Although generally unseen, angels are very re... Read More

IN THIS CHAPTER WE shall treat of the perseverance of the saints--a subject of scarcely inferior importance to those already considered. It falls in at this point naturally, and forms an indispensable part of this most wonderful system; for, certainly, whatever else may be said of Calvinism, it must... Read More

How I Learned To Love - Part 1 By Marilynne E. Foster What is the mark of a Christian? Before Christ died, He wanted to prepare the disciples for His death and what was to follow.
