The Freshness of Faith 1 Thessalonians 1

John Nelson DarbyThere is great power of walk shewn forth in this chapter. It brought persecution, but the word had power in them. The world's hatred of them was a proof that there was testimony to the truth. There was the witness of it constantly brought before others, as well as this inward life in power and suffe... Read More

The Lord Himself shall descend

John Nelson DarbyThe coming of the Lord, beloved brethren, is the subject of which I wish to speak to you a little. Till the Lord came into the world there was very little about heaven in the scriptures. But when He came to earth, immediately there was a testimony from heaven to the shepherds, that now there was glo... Read More

The Mission of the Comforter John 14 - 16

John Nelson DarbyThere are two ways in which the Holy Ghost is spoken of in John 14 and in the two last verses of John 15. In ch. 14 it is the Father who sends the Holy Ghost in Christ's name; in ch. 15 it is Christ who sends Him. In ch. 14, He is putting us in relationship with the Father; in ch. 15 and in the begi...

John Nelson Darby(Words of Faith, Vol. 3, 1884, page 261.) John 1.

The Man Who Has the Clues

The Bible is an amazing Book. Old though it is, it is as modern as this moment. It tells the stories of people just like ourselves--with the same kind of hopes and fears, the same kind of dreams and longings, the same kind of problems and sins. The Bible is filled with incidents which are dramatic, ... Read More

The Possession of the Saints' Rest is Not on Earth

Richard BaxterWe have not yet come to our resting place. How foolish it is to expect it here. What Christian doesn't deserve this correction? All of us would like continual prosperity, because it is so pleasing to the flesh; but we don't consider how unreasonable such a desire is. When we enjoy lovely homes, mone... Read More

Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;.....” John 14:12-13 Outside of town there was this place ca... Read More

BY FAITH

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11 Nobody could ever look at Jesus' disciples and say, "What a bunch of religious freaks!" Nobody looking at those disciples could ever get the idea that to follow Jesus your mind has to have a spiritual twist, be... Read More

HOLY DISRUPTION

Today, The Day of Pentecost, we remember how it all began. On the day of Pentecost a small group of people was transformed from an assembly of souls who weren’t quite sure why they were together, into an Army of Light. Suddenly, this motley crew became a magnet that drew thousands that very day out ... Read More
