ONLY TRUST ME “Only believe.”–Mark 5:36 Precious and significant are the words of Jesus, the very same words that He spoke when on earth. Did those lips–glowing with more than a seraph’s hallowed touch, lips into which grace without measure was poured–ever breathe a sentence more touching, more simple, or more significant than this, “Only […]
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 […]
GOD PROMISES THE PRISONER AND CAPTIVE God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

A question for streetlights. Isaiah 13: 10: For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. When I was a teenager growing up in the country I almost always had a […]
Beware of religion without Christ! Mark 4:1-20 – The Parable of the Sower You may think, “All is well with my soul. No one could ever feel what I feel and experience what I have experienced and yet be lost.” You ought to think again! False faith is a strong delusion, a delusion by which, […]
God Promises “[I] will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:18). “Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). “Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, […]
