“Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?” (Gal. 4:21) The life of the Old Testament Jew, under the law, was so difficult. He was hedged in by a thousand commandments and prohibitions. The forms, laws, ceremonies, and sacrifices were many, and every detail minutely arranged. He […]
Job said, “I know that my redeemer liveth.” Which of the two words should be of greater importance — my redeemer? The presumptuous person may claim the blessings based upon the fact that he has accepted the Redeemer as my Redeemer. The true believer embraces the promises as they are in Christ Jesus; He is […]
The word “spirit” signifies to a man who claims to be endowed with the gift of the Spirit to perform the office of prophet, preacher, or teacher. God’s Word is received from the mouth of man, but some who claim to speak for God are false preachers and are sent by Satan to deceive and […]
Anyone who is serious about a knowledge of and relationship with the living God ought to question today’s religion which makes salvation only a profession and not an experience; which operates only in a person’s mind and not upon his heart; which obligates God but does not glorify God; which designates Jesus Christ as Saviour […]

Sovereign grace is the message that declares the electing love of the Father, the redeeming love of the Son, and the invincible love of the Holy Spirit. Sovereign […]
The believer is a mystery to others and to himself also. He is sanctified, yet feels himself to be the chief of sinners. He loves God’s law, yet he wrestles with an inward desire to have his own way. He has great sorrow and heaviness of heart over others, yet he rejoices in the Lord […]
My friend, repentance is not an isolated act. If any man ever repented, he continues to repent. If he ever quits repenting, he never did repent. Faith is not an isolated act. Faith is a state of being. Faith is a condition. Faith is a product of a life principle which God puts in a […]
How much religion, tradition, and ceremony can a man know and observe and yet not know God? Well, the Jews observed thousands of passovers yet never saw CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER.
