“It Is Finished”

Perhaps no one sentence from the lips of the Master has been more misunderstood than the one that He uttered on the cross: “It is finished” (John 19:30). Most of us have believed that He meant He had finished His redemptive work, but that is not true. His work as a substitute was just beginning… Continue reading “It Is Finished”

Walking as Mere Men

One of the saddest facts that we have to face today is that the sons of God, men with God in them, men with the very nature of God, are walking as mere men of the world. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto… Continue reading Walking as Mere Men

The Limitations of Jesus

During Jesus’s earth walk, He was dealing exclusively with the Jews—the first covenant people. He was surrounded by men who had never been born again.No person with whom He dealt had yet received eternal life.They were all spiritually dead. John 8:44 is Jesus’s description of them: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the… Continue reading The Limitations of Jesus

What Repentance Means

The problem of repentance in the face of modern preaching is a serious one. Look at the meaning of the word that was used by Peter on the day of Pentecost: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the… Continue reading What Repentance Means

Limiting God In Us

The Spirit speaking through Paul in Philippians 2:13 says, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” How hard it has been for some of us to become God-inside minded, to daily remind ourselves that we have Him in us, and that He is there… Continue reading Limiting God In Us

The Renewed Mind

There has never been a great deal of teaching on the necessity of a renewed mind. We have stressed the need of being converted, being born again, but we have left the convert hanging in the wind, as it were. Great enthusiasm and joy come at the new birth, but unless that is cared for… Continue reading The Renewed Mind

The Law of Life

The law of the New Covenant is a perfect contrast to the law of the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant was called the “law of sin and death.” The law of the New Covenant is called the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.” One law put people in bondage; the other law… Continue reading The Law of Life

Sharing With Him

In Galatians 2:20, we get one of the richest views of Christ’s ministry for us: 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me… Continue reading Sharing With Him

“In Whom We Have”

Many believers do not understand what it means to be “in Christ” and therefore do not act as though it is true, so they do not realize what they have already inherited. The Father has declared in the Word what we are in Christ. We find believers seeking to obtain what love has already given… Continue reading “In Whom We Have”

The Four Gospels in Contrast with the Pauline Epistles

In the early days, German philosophy had gained the ascendency in many of our theological institutions, and there came a strange new slogan. You’ve heard it continuously back then: “Back to Jesus.” I didn’t know what it meant. Then I read someone had declared that Paul had altogether too much influence over the church, and… Continue reading The Four Gospels in Contrast with the Pauline Epistles

Treating the Word as Though It Were a Common Book

This title of the message bears the heart reason for spiritual failure. It is the reason why in daily life, the believer breaks down, why the adversary has no trouble in overthrowing them in a crisis; the reason why they are a spiritual hitchhiker, always depending upon someone else’s prayers, someone else’s wisdom, someone else’s… Continue reading Treating the Word as Though It Were a Common Book

The Living Word

What is the living Word? It is God speaking to you directly through an oracle of God, until that word is written on your heart, and you can hear God yourself. Unfortunately, the word being spoken and taught today is a mixture, mostly human and a little of the divine. God’s Words are not human… Continue reading The Living Word
