Acts 18:10 This should be a great encouragement to evangelize—since God has among the vilest of the vile, the most reprobate, the most debauched and drunken—an elect people who must be saved. When you take the Word to them, you do so because God has ordained you to be the messenger of life to their […]
“You are absolutely beautiful, My beloved! There is no spot in you!” Song of Solomon 4:7Having pronounced His Church positively full of beauty—our Lord confirms His praise by a precious negative, “There is no spot in you!” As if the thought occurred to the Bridegroom that the carping world would insinuate that He had only mentioned her […]
“I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 No human friend can say so. The closest and dearest of earthly links may be broken, yes! have been broken. Distance may part, time estrange, and the grave separate. Loving earthly looks may only greet you now in mute smiles from the portrait on the wall. […]

So then, they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Galatians 3:9-10) […]
Acts 11: 1: And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God. 2: And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3: Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. Here […]
” Galatians 5:18 If we are led of the Spirit by walking in him; if he be our Guide and Teacher; if he be continually operating upon our heart, and bringing near the influences of his grace; if he be in us and with us, guiding us into all truth, making and keeping us believing, […]
I love the Ten Commandments – God’s holy law. And I do not try to keep them. I have kept them perfectly! When the Lord Jesus Christ obeyed God’s holy law perfectly – I did too! Trying to keep them always comes up short, and in reality stirs up the passions of sin (Rom.7:7-8). No, […]
