Deliverance For the Wretched Chris CunninghamO wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:24-25)Paul answers his own question, and what a question! One all believers have asked themselves time and again. This is precisely the mourning our Lord spoke […]

Matthew 5: 3 By grace, the believer confesses the utter sin he is in the flesh.  Those who think they possess some good or some strength or are deserving of God’s […]

Not ashamed of the Gospel. Paul the apostle declares (by divine revelation) that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. This Gospel, the message concerning the person of Christ, is the power of God unto salvation. It is the message alone by which the Holy Ghost calls men effectually out of spiritual darkness […]
