There are many things that we ask the Lord to give us in prayer. But did you know there is something that we ought to ask from above all things? “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves.” Love is “That more excellent way” which we should “Follow after”, or make our aim. The […]
Have we nothing to give Christ? (J. C. Philpot, “REVIEWS”) Have we nothing to give Christ? Yes! Our sins, our sorrows, our burdens, our trials, and above all the salvation and sanctification of our souls. And what has He to give us? What?

Gathered “Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20 The Holy Spirit is the only Gatherer.
