A new kind of love

Jesus brought a new kind of love into the world, a love that is pure, holy and divine. The thing people have called love has been nothing more than sexual attraction. Hardly any higher than that which is seen in the animal world. God is love and so the new birth is the impartation of… Continue reading A new kind of love

“It Is Finished”

Probably no other scripture has been more misunderstood than the one that Jesus uttered on the cross: “It is finished” (John 19:30). If it was finished, he certainly did not suffer after he died “in his soul and body”, because then he would have been tormented in hell. When He said it was finished! He… Continue reading “It Is Finished”

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

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
