What a masterpiece of wisdom the Bible is! While it provides us with everything we need to know, it mercifully withholds from us the much that we would like to know, but which it would not be in our highest interests to know, at present. As an example of this, we would like to have full and crystal-... Read More
Ever since God has had a people separated to Himself they have been sorely troubled by the presence among them of those who professed to be, but were not, of them. And this will continue until "the Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall Sober out of his kingdom all things that offend... Read More
Mark 4:3-10, 13-20 There is yet still more to all that Jesus taught about material stewardship. In light of all that He said on this subject, it is amazing how little of it is mentioned in most churches. When it is, it is too often softened. As we continue our squeeze through the needle's eye, our o... Read More

“Them that believe to the saving of the soul” (Hebrews 10:39). “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Peter 1:9).

Hebrews 10 This chapter can help us solve four important questions on 1) Sin; 2) Preservation; 3) Willful Sinning after salvation; 4) Progress.
