One of the most comforting passages of Scripture in the Word of God is, “Of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” (I cor. 1:30). This does not comfort every son of Adam. But I will tell you who it does comfort […]
DOES WORSHIP COST ANYTHING? “Neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing” (II Samuel 24:24).
