THE KILLING LETTER-NOT THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE A fountain is supplied from its own spring, yields its contents to supply the poor and needy when they seek water and there is none elsewhere, and their tongue faileth for thirst, that they may drink and not famish, or die by famishing. So this law of the […]
Purpose of Despisers, Purpose of God Acts 13: 38-41 The whole purpose of Satan and the message preached in the synagogues of Satan are to keep men in ignorance to the liberty that is in Christ Jesus. It is not those who are being bewitched that I reject but those who have heard the gospel […]
The Miracle Grace Performs Acts 16: 25: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26: And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

If it be asked, in what sense I accept this Scripture I humbly answer; I accept it simply as the whole passage stands altogether, one complete whole. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling: for it is GOD which worketh in you, both to will and to do, of his good pleasure. If […]

The Lord Jesus Christ Christ Jesus the Son of God, is the Seed of Woman, the Promised Seed (Genesis 3: 15;Galatians 3: 16). He is the Man who took and sowed the seed (Hebrews 2: 16; John 12: 24). Those who think themselves something when they are nothing are called “cedars of Lebanon” “oaks of Bashan”. But he […]
The Kingdom of Heaven The Lord declares his kingdom, his church, is like a grain of mustard seed. The church began from very small beginnings; so small that it came without observation (Luke 17: 20-21). The King and his children born of his Spirit is the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God has been […]
