HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOUR! Believer, what a Saviour God has provided for His people (Gen.22:8; Matt. 1:21)! The Almighty God (John 1:1), yet all tender Saviour and Good Shepherd who laid down His life for us (John 10:11; Psa.23:1). How well-fitted Jesus Christ is to be our Great High Priest (Heb. 2:17; 4:14-16). How sufficient […]
“Christ Is All!” Colossians 3:11 It is not possible for any mortal to comprehend the full scope of those three words, but here are ten statements that might help to enlarge our understanding of them. After you have read this brief article, carefully study each statement, asking God the Holy Spirit to seal these words […]
I CAN’T MESS IT UP! A dear friend was talking about how blessed the gospel of Christ’s grace was. I can’t remember all the details we talked about. I suppose we talked about electing love and redeeming grace and how the Lord in tender mercy called us out of darkness with a call we could […]
Christ My Only Hope Forever If the possession of heaven could be obtained with only a single act of goodness – never to all eternity should I find it. “When I would do good, evil is present with me.” Oh! Then for grace to know Thee, to love Thee, to follow Thee, as my only […]

My shortcomings and misdoings, my unbelief and want of love would sink me into the lowest hell, was not Jesus my righteousness and my redeemer. – Augustus M. […]
Law demands righteousness from men; Grace brings righteousness to men. Law sentences a living man to death; Grace brings a dead man to life. Law speaks of what men must do for God; Grace tells of what Christ has done for men. Law gives a knowledge of sin; Grace puts away sin. Law brings God […]
The Treasure In Earthen Vessels 2 Corinthians 4:7 The treasure God’s servants carry through the world is the gospel of his grace, by which he communicates to chosen sinners all the blessings of grace and salvation in Christ (Eph. 1:3-14). But the preachers who carry this treasure are only “earthen vessels,” clay pots, worthless and meaningless in […]
Our Fellowship I John 1:3 There are few words in the vocabulary of a believer‑ more precious, than these two. Our fellowship is that sweet communion of brethren dwelling together in unity. Our fellowship is the joyful agreement of the church family. Our fellowship is the oneness of heart which God’s saints enjoy by the […]
Preachers Needed and Sent Romans 10:13-17 In order to hear the gospel, someone must preach the gospel to you. — “How shall they hear without a preacher?” God will not reveal the gospel to men by supernatural agencies. Someone must make the truth known to men. They cannot learn without being taught. So, let us carry the […]
True pilgrims!(from “Solitude Sweetened” by Octavius Winslow) Fellow pilgrims, the heavenly way we travelis more or less a lonely way. We have, atmost, but few companions.
