Hi Randy, thanks for the replies and comments and I'll be looking them over. God bless!

The Father had a sovereign purpose to take certain creatures into His own glory, to share in that glory. He desired also that these should know Him in His nature as Love, and be with Him, before Him, in that blissful atmosphere of pure love, forever. These happy creatures were not to be taken...

It would be well for us to consider the twofold bearing of the type of the Jordan River in Joshua Four. In Colossians Two and Three, we have that which clearly corresponds to these two things. The end of Chapter 2 reminds the Colossians that they were “dead with Christ.” Verses 12 and 13 show...

Being ever “circumspect,” esp. of “the old man,” is one of the spiritually healthiest commands to maintain (Eph 5:15), it being the closest enemy; and the doorway for distraction to believers from Satan and the unsaved world! We ever stand victorious in the Lord Jesus concerning salvation, but...

It is in the conscience of believers that the guiltless-position of their souls manifest how well they know completeness in the expiation of the Cross. There is an ingredient of legalism if there is insufficient understanding that their spiritual condition involves the perpetual forgiveness of...

We must be in the light (“the light” i.e. anything that reveals truth - Eph 5:13) in order to walk in it. The light is the full revelation of the Father; the truth as now unfolded in the Son, and Christians are before the Father according to what He is. To be in the light is to be in the...

Hi! Thanks, and like your comments!

“Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform (Greek: epiteleō – accomplish; finish) it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phl 1:6). “Until the day of Jesus Christ” needs no interpretation, as it obviously refers to His second coming which is known as...

At the Cross there has been the greatest moral revolution that can possibly be conceived. The revolution is, that now the glory, instead of repelling (Exo 20:18-21; 1Ki 8:11; 2Ch 5:14—NC), attracts (2Co 3:18—NC); the glory is the expression of God, the thing of all others that invites you, and...

Appreciate your comments and compliments. God bless!

Another spoiling of spiritual wickedness via manifesting God's goodness! Thanks for the comments and God bless! With the exception that I believe evil is sin, but that's just our understanding differently about it.

As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I’ve found the worth of it all is in coming to the knowledge and understanding (got to have both) of God’s holiness, which to me has some to do with revealing His love for us. Though He knows most will not choose to desire it, His love and justification in...

I believe the “hardness” (2Ti 2:3) saints endure is the Father’s primary instrument of “conforming” us “to the image of His Son” (Ro 8: 29). Even those who choose to remain unbelievers must endure hardness, but theirs is a witness “against” them, not “for them” (Deu 30:19; Ro 8:28). How we...

Hi! Amen to that and thanks for your Amen! God be blessed!

Hi, and like your comment!

Like your reply here with 1Co 2:9, but let's not forget the following verse 10. "But God hath revealed them unto us,.... Should it be said, that since this wisdom is so hidden and mysterious, the doctrines of the Gospel are so unknown, so much out of the sight and understanding of men, how come...

Hi, and thanks for the encouraging reply!

True, it will no longer be faith but sight!

Significance is not so much in wondering about the reality of God as much as it is in knowing what His Word says of Him, because our reasoning is at times inaccurate, it being effected by our senses and “the old man.” The “wondering” for the believer isn’t doubt of the Word but of self in...

I agree, God has to circumcise, i.e. separate us from our desire after the old man (flesh). To me, the "circumcision" is the work of the Father permanently implanting, during rebirth, the "desire" for His "pleasure" (Phl 2:13) instead of for the old man or sin nature. Of course this doesn't mean...
