"But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, 'Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.' And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between …

Therefore Watch – Acts 20:28-35
"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood.

"And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

The Incarnate God
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory, and the express …
You are Useful
Do you ever feel like a useless person, that you have never made any difference in anyone’s life, even your own? We all like to feel useful. We enjoy it when we hear someone tell us “Well done” on a job we have done, a race we have run, or even as a preacher, a …
The Grace of God… Has Appeared to All Men
With this season of the year, these words are especially powerful for the Christian. Let us always remember that the grace of God was not just shown through the birth of His Son, lain in a manger, but also as He lay Himself on the cross to die for our sins. For the child of …
Living the Good and Acceptable, Quiet and Peaceable Life

Even the apostle Paul; maybe I should say, “The apostle Paul” needed prayer just as any of us do. Prayer must not be something we do only when we have an emergency situation. We “…ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). Sometimes we get requests for praying for specific personal needs from …
To Walk and to Please God
Those of us who follow Christ Jesus have been set apart unto Him that He might be glorified. Being set apart is what is meant by the word “Sanctified” or “Sanctification”. At salvation we are sanctified; but throughout our lives, we are being sanctified unto Him, until we are finally, and completely sanctified eternally. Hear …
To Reconcile Man to God
O how the race of Adam needs to be reconciled to God. My how lost can a race of people get, and by lost I mean astray from God, His word, His Son, and His Spirit. He did say, “My Spirit shall not always strive with man” (Genesis 6:3). God is the one who stepped …
The Work of God In Us Worked Out
O how we need to get this straight. Salvation by grace continues to work in us following our regeneration or justification in Christ and God. How the churches today need regenerated people sitting in the pews, in our places of employment, our recreation, working out their salvation with fear and trembling. “Wherefore, my beloved, as …
God’s Debt to Adam’s Race…
The title is catchy, but I fear that is how many people feel; that God owes every person a chance for grace and salvation. Folks, this whole deal of grace is about Him; not us. It is indeed about... …God; not you or me. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love …
