john-1:29

Have you ever considered that in a very few words, the Scriptures describe the blessedness of those who have gone to he with Christ? Yet these few words are complete in their revelation to convey to our hearts the eternal blessedness of it! WHERE ARE THEY? is a question these Scriptures answer, in r... Read More

Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand; by which also you are saved: in what words I preached it unto you. Having finished the discourse of spiritual gifts, he passes to that which is of all most necessary, the subject... Read More

Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. Having exalted the Apostles and abased himself, then again having exalted himself above them that he might make out an equality: (for he did effect an equality, when he showed that he had advantages over them as well as they over him,) ...
