So Walk ye in HIM How often I hear the foolish criticisms of men talking about the old hypocrites down at the church. They won’t join in our rallies, participate in our demonstrations, or join in our protests. We are actively engaged to reform our society and yet they stand idle with no concern. We […]

Knowledge or love 1Cor 8:1 . . . Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. It is impossible to have fellowship with anyone who has great head knowledge of doctrine, but has not the love of Christ shed abroad in their heart. They will want to argue with you, but never rejoice with you. They will […]
Bearing Our Cross “He that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.” – Matthew 10:38 Mere professing Christians loudly and proudly like to speak of ‘bearing their cross.’ What they mean by that is going through some sort of trouble or suffering.

True or false professors There is a distinguishing difference between a true child of God and a false professor. The Bible is filled with illustrations of this truth – Mt 7:22-23; Mt 23:27; Mt 25:32; John 14:21; 1John 3:14.

What is it to preach the Gospel? The Apostle Paul said, “Though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of” (I Cor. 9:16). What is it to preach the gospel? Is everybody preaching the gospel?

The Holy Spirit does not reach after something novel, new, or spectacular in order to glorify Christ or to preach Christ to men. He does not need tongues, fleshly emotion, bodily healings, and creature fame and importance in order to bring glory to Christ and call out His sheep. He finds Christ’s glory IN CHRIST […]
humbled or angered Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee (Proverbs 9:8). Someone has said, “Faithful reproofs, if they don’t profit you will provoke you.” God’s prophet, John the Baptist faithfully rebuked Herod for taking his brother’s wife (Matt. 14:4). Herod’s response to the truth of God was anger and murder toward God’s […]
