Consider Jesus– as Receiving Sinners- Winslow “This man receives sinners!” –Luke 15:2 Nothing gave greater offence to the scribes and Pharisees than the divine mission of Jesus to save sinners. No greater and more virulent accusation could they allege against Him, than that, He extended His compassionate regards to the vile and the wretched, admitting […]
ENDLESS ADORATION! The vista of a praiseful life will never close, but continue throughout eternity. From psalm to psalm, from hallelujah to hallelujah, we will ascend the hill of the Lord; until we come into the Holiest of all, where, with veiled faces, we will bow before the Divine Majesty in the bliss of endless […]
Come unto Me! “Come unto Me!” Matthew 11:28 The cry of the Christian Religion is the gentle word, “Come.” The Jewish LAW harshly said, “Go, take heed unto your steps as to the path in which you shall walk. Break the commandments, and you shall perish; keep them, and you shall live.” The LAW was […]
The offense of the Cross “And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the offence of the cross ceased.” Galatians 5:11 The preaching of the cross of Jesus Christ is offensive to the natural man. We that believe look at the cross and we see grace, mercy, […]

Remember to be bold to those who are teachers of false things (Titus 1: 10-13) but patient with those who are seeking but yet oppose themselves (2 Timothy 2: 23-26.) As we no longer lie to our neighbours but declare the truth to them (Ephesians 4: 15, 25, 29) most will speak blasphemous things against […]
Bread or Poison? Clay Curtis Malachi 1:7: Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. The next time you are baking a fresh loaf of homemade bread, mix in rat poison. Do you think you could obtain […]
Extracts from The Wilderness Wanderer By Joseph Philpot, 1867 “They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And […]
The day of atonement foreshadowed, in type, the sin-atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ for God’s true Israel. The chapter begins “And the LORD spake unto Moses.” In order for sinners to approach God in his Way, the LORD must speak into the heart he has made new. God teaches his children what he […]
