ephesians-1:18

THE ENIGMA OF CREATION is the lofty theme in the Prologue to the Gospel of John. Everywhere this Gospel is transcendental. It deals with matters which transcend all that is earthly, and plunges always into the eternal, and the meaning behind all meanings. The drama of God's life is being worked out.... Read More

V. 9 “How can these things be?” Nicodemus represents throughout this dialogue the people of the Old Covenant - vainly confident of their “knowledge” and their national: privileges. “Behold thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God and knowest his will and approvest t...

"Prove me now" (Mal. 3:10). What is God saying here but this: "My child, I still have windows in Heaven. They are yet in service. The bolts slide as easily as of old. The hinges have not grown rusty. I would rather fling them open, and pour forth, than keep them shut, and hold back. I opened them fo... Read More

"...upon this Rock, I will build My Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18b)." What is the "move" of God? What is God doing today? What is God saying to the Church?

A few shepherds worshipped Him the night He was bo... Read More

The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spint of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. — Open thou mine eyes, that I ...

The cross is God's decisive deed in history! It is in the cross that God dealt with sin, once for all, and completely! Not only did God deal with sin on the cross, but He also dealt with sin for us! "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in H... Read More

THE SACRAMENT OF THE HILLS I have seen beauty my heart cannot sing! How can I tell in words the sacrament Of truth God spreads upon the autumn hills? How strange the silence deep within my breast When I beheld this miracle of grace! The wine is mighty--drink deeply, my soul, And taste the dregs of b... Read More

My dear John, How much I charge myself for want of joy in God; and I have just come from looking at a scripture that may be able to fix this charge still more home upon the spirit; I mean the opening of Luke. What joy among the angels there; what joy on earth in the vessels filled by the Spirit ther... Read More
