Let us not sleep “Let us not sleep, … but let us watch and be sober” (1 Thessalonians 5:6) I had not seen my darling wife for a long time. But she was on her way to me. And I had made preparations for her arrival. I had for some days exerted considerable time and […]
Unto God be Glory The true and living God is able to do. To do means “to effect or work out or accomplish whatsoever one is pleased to do.” The true and living God is the mighty, omnipotent God. God is so mighty and so able to do, he tells us beforehand what pleases him […]
A living personal Jesus (Archibald Brown) Christianity is all centered in a person. Conversion is not a mere change of human opinion; it is the devotion of heart to a person.

Sin is a horrible evil, a deadly poison, yet it […]
If total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints make up what is called the doctrines of grace, they are just that: doctrines. It is not without significance that every time the word “doctrines” is used in Scripture, it always refers to false doctrine. Doctrines do not grip my […]
The closest thing we have to a Bible Conference in the New Testament is what took place in Acts 15. Some men from the church in Jerusalem came down to the churches in Galatia.
