Two Things Always Happen When the Gospel is preached, there are two things always taking place (even though most are unaware of it); some are being prepared for glory, others are being hardened. Some are being brought to the light; some are left sitting in darkness. Some see Christ and His glory; others see no beauty about Him. Some […]
“Whose heart-the Lord opened.”—Acts xvi. 14. It is always blessed to trace mercies to their source! And blessed when, through grace, we are enabled to give God his glory, and not put down to man’s merit what wholly originates in God’s grace. The opening of the heart can only be the province of Him that […]
THE LOCAL CHURCH: A FELLOWSHIP OF BELIEVERS IN CHRIST Luke sets before us an example of what every local church should be, by showing us what that early church at Jerusalem was. “They continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). That early assembly was a […]
Christ In You Colossians 1:27 What we need in this thing of salvation is not merely to be acquainted with Christ but to have His righteousness! It is nothing to reform a man, to get him religious and make some decisions for Jesus, but what is needed is regeneration from the Holy Spirit. “But when […]
We welcome you to our Grace Bible Conference. The first grace conference was held in Acts 15. Some men who claimed to believe added the necessity of the works of the law to faith in Christ. Paul and Barnabas told the church at Jerusalem of this and here is what was concluded by Peter as […]
Christ and Him CrucifiedFor I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (I Corinthians 2:2)The apostle Paul declared to a heathen world, and a church being led astray by foolish pride and worldly wisdom, that he preached Christ and Him crucified. The gospel is a person. He was a person in […]
Christ Our Rule Galatians 6:16 “And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them.”And what is this rule we walk by? The Law? No. It is this, “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14). Truly, this is the believer’s rule of life. This is our […]
Not in VainThe false gospel says that not everyone Christ died for will be raised to everlasting life. They say Christ died and was risen for everybody. But…most of the people He died for will not be raised to everlasting life. To which the Lord says; “If there be no resurrection from the dead then Christ is not risen: […]
ACCORDING TO THE FREE-WILL SCHEME, the Lord intends good, but He must wait like a lackey on His own creature to know what his intention is; God willeth good, and would do it, but He cannot because He has an unwilling man who will not have God’s good thing carried into effect. What do ye, sirs, but drag the […]
NOT FAR BUT NOT INMark 12: 34: And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. The charge Christ has given his pastors is “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is […]
