Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Jehovah standing in the way (Num. 22:31). Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man whose eye is opened saith… falling down, and having his eyes open (Num. 24:3-4; A.R.V. Margin). And they come to Jericho: and as He went out from Jerich...

“Redeeming the time.” (Eph. 5:16) In a day when men of the world are becoming increasingly allergic to work, Christians must make the most of every passing moment. It is a sin to waste time. Voices from every age testify to the importance of diligent labor. The Savior Himself said, “I must work the ... Read More

A disciple can be forgiven if he does not have great mental ability. He can be forgiven also if he does not display outstanding physical prowess. But no disciple can be excused if he does not have zeal. If his heart is not aflame with a red-hot passion for the Savior, he stands condemned. After all,... Read More

REFUTATION OF THE JEWS § 33 WE have dealt thus far with the Incarnation of our Saviour, and have found clear proof of the resurrection of His Body and His victory over death.

Or, was Jesus an actual person who lived in Israel 2000 years ago? Most often, those who deny Jesus as a historic figure denounce the New Testament ... Read More

Where is the way that light dwelleth? God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. — As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we ha... Read More
