To Be A Witness. “Go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.” Mark 5: 19 The Lord had shown great mercy to this poor sinner, setting him free from demons and from sin. Now He tells him to go home to his family and friends and to […]
“Without Me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5 Pastor Henry Mahan I suppose the most difficult thing any believer has to learn is that ‘Without Him we can do nothing.’ This is our creed but not our experience! We will never be effectually used for God’s true glory until it becomes our experience. God will […]
Romans 8:38-39 Religion is to know biblical facts; life is to know God (I John 5:20). Religion is to know what I believe; life is to know Whom I believe (II Timothy 1:12). Religion is to be baptized into the church; Life is to be baptized into Christ (Romans 6:3). Religion is to be reformed, […]
The atonement does not change the nature and character of God, but rather, the atonement honours and magnifies the character of God. The death of Christ is not the cause of God’s love, but the result of it. God is not merciful because Christ died. Christ died because God is merciful. In order that every […]

He Shall Glorify Me “He (the Holy Spirit) shall glorify ME; for He shall receive of mine, and show it unto you.” – John 16:14 The Holy Spirit does not reach after something novel, new, or spectacular in order to glorify Christ or to preach Christ to men.

A BELIEVER’S PEACE Where does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?” I’ll tell you; it lies in this, that we are justified by faith and not by works. Christ Jesus stood in my place before God. I was […]
Betraying Christ with a kiss Judas betrayed his Master with a KISS! He came to the Lord with evil in his heart, the price of a compromise in his hand, religious devils at his side, and said, “Hail Master”, as he planted a KISS on the Lord’s cheek! This is how most apostates and compromisers […]
