DISCERNMENT“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all judgment.” – Philippians 1:9The word judgment in this verse is used only here in the New Testament. It means discernment. Paul does not pray that our knowledge and discernment will abound. He prays that our love to the person of Christ will […]
“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 made it. Renewing work, […]

WHY SHOULD WE SUPPORT MISSIONARIES? (III John 6-8) Many answers are given to that question in the Word of God. But the Apostle here gives four excellent reasons for doing so. Having commended Gaius for his good work in this regard, John encourages him to continue with these reasons: 1. IT IS A WORK PLEASING […]
What Is It To Preach The Gospel? Psalm 130:5-6 The Apostle Paul said, “Though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of” (I Cor. 9:16). What is it to preach the gospel? Is everybody preaching the gospel? Regrettably no! It would be great if all the churches everywhere did preach the gospel, but […]
Sent to Preach Good Things And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
