"And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest …. ; “for he who is least among you all is the one who is the greatest” Luke 9: 46-48 No prizes go to the least. There is no competition where the goal is to be the least. Those who are the least are not there for the glory it of... Read More

Though we see clear abuse so easily in many denominations and churches of leadership that uses the people rather then serves and matures the people of God this still does not nullify God's true gifting and calling of leadership in the body of Christ. God's heart is to see shepherds who share His hea... Read More

Matt. V. 17. Think not that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. Why, who suspected this? Or who accused Him, that He should make a defense against this charge? Since surely from what had gone before no such suspicion was generated. For to command men to be meek, and gentle, and merciful,... Read More

Ephesians 4:32 and 5:1, 2 And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

At Corinth the apostle had to occupy himself with the corruption of various errors and abuses, and was thus hinder... Read More

The apostle addresses his brethren in Christ as "partakers of the heavenly calling" (Heb. 3: 1). This calling, in another scripture, is styled "the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3: 14). And again, it is spoken of as the calling of the Father of glory (Eph. 1: 17, 18). In those who are ... Read More

The apostle now speaks of resurrection. His keeping it till the last, in this way, is remarkable. We have a great truth brought out in the chapter, in the total identification of Christ with men - saints, but man as man, because he says, if men do not rise, Christ is not risen. I have not the least ... Read More
