believe many are unknowingly in misunderstanding concerning the concept that the Body of Christ, the Church, has somehow entered into that which God has for His people Israel. He has always "reserved" (Rom 11:4) Jews out of unbelieving Israelites, to believe in Him, which Scripture refers to as...

I am sure that the way of fruitful usefulness is going out individually to meet the Lord. It is the trimming of the lamps which tests reality, and exposes hollow profession. Our position is very much like that of the faithful ones in Babylon in a former day; they were in complete separation...

I do not hesitate to admit that there is much to learn for all (self included) who desire to know the division of the Church and Israel. I want to share a brief reply to the article “The Church Age” because many still have not understood the implications of Galatians 3:14. The blessing of...

The Christian is initially delivered from sin’s curse, and increasingly (“glory to glory”) delivered from sin’s rule (Rom 6:12, 14). -NC There is no more remarkable journey than Elijah’s last day’s pilgrimage from Gilgal to Jordan (2 Kings 2:1-15). The time has come for him to ascend to...

I believe that the failure of the Church to see that she is a separated, a called-out Body in the purpose of God, charged with a definite mission limited in its purpose and scope, and the endeavor to take from Israel her promises of earthly glory, and appropriate them over into this Church...

There are three distinct attitudes of heart in reference to divine chastening (child-training), namely, Subjection, Acquiescence, and Rejoicing. When the will submits, there is subjection; when the understanding is enlightened as to the object of the chastening, there is calm acquiescence; and...

Your Father has weighed all that sin is, all your thoughts and actions seen beforehand, all your indifference—miserable as all this proves us to be. And knowing beforehand all that we are and all our sins, He has given His Son for us, who has charged himself with all, and us such as we are, and...

I wanted to share this reply because I believe it is instructionally significant to the thread’s theme concerning God’s omniscience and omnipotence. Here's what I think: God created everything.... including evil. If God did not create it, it wouldn't exist. God does not do evil, but the...

If I have the love of a person, I share in all that person is. It is the greatest of all things to know the Lord Jesus personally. Joseph is a type; he said to his brethren, “Fear ye not; I will nourish you, and your little ones.” The Lord Jesus has done for us the greatest work—“greater love...

“So, would you then say that in effect God causes the sinner to sin the sins they sin? Thus when a man is tempted it is because God created Him to be tempted in just this way?” It is obvious God created man with the ability to sin, same as the angels (but they are not heirs of salvation, just...

The intent of this article is not a presumption to know or understand God’s will for mankind, but rather to speculate concerning His control within the entirety of all of His creation. In my opinion, His will must involve complete control (acting according to foreknowledge, e.g. He always knew...

Our “acceptance” (Eph 1:6) in the Father is sustained by the same provision which established it—the life of Christ—thus there can be nothing in the believer’s new life in Christ (Col 3:4) which can possibly effect the continuance of this acceptance. But rather, the Father’s intention of...

I am doubtless that the most misunderstood Biblical doctrine in contemporary Christendom is that which concerns law and grace. It’s surely understandable, esp. early in the Christian lives of most believers, that what God had done with the nation of Israel He is now doing with the rest of the...

The Red Sea is the type of the death of the Lord Jesus, in its application to sin, the world and Satan. By His death unto sin the believer is completely and forever positionally delivered from the power of sin (positional-truth literally places us in the life of Christ - Col 3:4 - and not our...

The Reformation regained the truth of the first Pauline revelation, namely, justification by faith alone (Sola fide—Latin: faith alone -NC), but did not go on to restore the truth contained in the second revelation (Eph 5:32). It is altogether possible that the problems attending the...

The Old Testament uses the word “flesh” to mean only one thing—the physical body, because it was not until Christ that the “flesh”—sinful nature—was addressed with the application of being finally “condemned” (Rom 8:3). For example, the phrase in the above reference, “sinful flesh,” does not...

I would like to thank the Admin/Mod team for such a nice site to be a part of--which due to their continuous improvising provides an ever-enhancing fellowship experience. God's blessings to your Families! The positional-truth (un-hinderingly heaven bound) of the believer has prominence over...

The lost need saved and the saved needs deliverance. He must increase in you, not you must increase in Him, for you must decrease (John 3:30)—that is, your old self or “old man” will continue to have less effect on you as the Spirit continues to increase His influence in you. As the Spirit...

There is nothing higher than the heart of the Father—the eternal dwelling place of the Son, and there can be nothing lower that the Cross and the grave; but, amazing truth! I find the Lord Jesus in both. I find Him in the heart, and I find Him in the grave. He went down into death in order that...

The OT usages of "children" also means "sons" indicating a child-father relationship between Creator and man (Gen 6:2; Heb 12:9) and esp. between Israelites and God Deut 14:1), but my intention is to explain the differences between the OT and NT usages of this doctrine. In the OT it was as a...
