That wonderful medicine!(Letters of J. C. Philpot) “who forgiveth all thine iniquities;who healeth all thy diseases” Psalm 103:3 What a mass of . . .  filth and folly,  blindness and ignorance,  deceit and hypocrisy,  carnality, sensuality, and devilism are we!

“Smile, God Loves You” Those who endorse and promote the above statement are ignorant of two basic biblical truths.

It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Jesus, amid the honours and splendours to which God […]

Hitherto!

Hitherto! (Charles Spurgeon) “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying: “Hitherto has the Lord helped us.” 1 Samuel 7:12 The word “hitherto” seems like a hand pointing in the direction of the past.
