The heart of man, says God by the prophet, is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it? — In me, said the apostle, that is, in my flesh, abstracted from supernatural grace, dwelleth no good thing.–And, says a greater than both, From within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil […]
Religion Or Worship Based upon the Word of God, human nature, and from personal experience, I conclude that many people who attend church services are merely RELIGIOUS. The Lord said to a group of religious folk, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written (Isaiah 29:13), this people draweth nigh unto me with […]
Christ Superior to Moses. The history of Moses was remarkable from beginning to end. The hand of Providence preserved him as a babe, and the hand of God dug his grave at the finish.

BETTER The key word in the book of Hebrews is “better” (1:4; 6:9; 7:7, 19, 22; 8:6; 9:23; 10:34; 11:16, 35, 40; 12:24). One purpose of this book is to show use that Christ is “better” than all who came before him. He is better than the prophets, better than the angels, better than Moses, […]

“MY BELOVED IS MINE, AND I AM HIS” Song of Solomon 2:16 These are the words of the CHURCH, the words of all of the redeemed. 1. He is mine because the Father GAVE HIM TO ME! “Thou gavest them me” (John 17:6), and I am His because the Father gave me to Him (John […]
An Eternal Union With Christ The believer’s eternal union with Christ is a subject that few seem to grasp, though it is written as with a sunbeam upon the pages of Holy Scripture. We are “Accepted in the Beloved,” and have been from eternity. That union of our souls with our Savior was made by […]
SAFE IN HIS HANDS “His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me” – Song of Solomon 2:6. Our salvation in Christ is sure, safe and certain as the powerful hands of God (Dan. 4:35; John 10:27-30). Believer, you are in good hands with Christ, being made one with Him […]
