"The power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also that which is to be born shall be called holy, the Son of God" (Luke 1:35). "As many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of th... Read More

Reading: Matthew 3:1-6, 13-17; 4:1-11. We are seeing that the Holy Spirit is taking up the history of the Lord Jesus and is repeating it in the lives of His people, and we come to the next chapter of the biography that He is writing in the hearts of believers. It is unfortunate that these chapters i... Read More

Judges 4-5 It is a fairly far cry from Joshua to the Judges, and there is a terrible lapse from those days of triumph and conquest, as there was at the close of the apostolic days. The book of Judges is perhaps the most tragic book in the Bible. We are going to look at two of the breaks in the darkn... Read More

"...this is he which is ordained of God to be the Judge of the quick and dead" (Acts 10:42). ("...he is the one who has been designated by God as Judge of the living and the dead" N.E.B.)

That does not mean that Paul does not present the personal Heavenly Man, for he undoubtedly does, particularly in his letter... Read More

There remains this one section where everything is gathered up into Christ and the believer. I do want that we should really understand what it is that the Lord is bringing us to in these days in which we are living; that is, to understand, and very clearly apprehend, the super-earthly setting of al...

(A) THE TRUE LIFE AND THE FALSE LIFE As you know by now, we are occupied in these morning meetings with what we are taught through the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:3, that is, that the Holy Spirit is writing a spiritual biography of Jesus Christ in every member of the Body of Christ. To put that ... Read More
