Daniel E. Parks (2010.11.07) The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the very embodiment of the saving works He was sent to perform and of the saving blessings He was sent to bestow.

“It Is Finished”, (John 19:30) Years ago, someone asked me how long it took me to finish a painting.

“NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER” Acts 4:12 Salvation comes to fallen, helpless sinners only by virtue of Christ’s blessed name, only by his merits, only by his power, only by his authority. My friend, SALVATION SHOULD BE A MATTER OF GREAT CONCERN TO YOU. You are, by nature, lost, without Christ, without hope, […]

And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. –2 Tim.2:19. What great encouragement this promise is to every sinner who finds the only […]
WHERE DO YOU STAND? Isaiah 28: 14-18 The LORD God Laid the Foundation (v16.) Christ Jesus the Son of God is the foundation (Genesis 49: 24: I Cor 3: 11.) In his eternal purpose God the Father chose his Son to manifest the triune God in a body. He was chosen of God to manifest […]
