The First Testimony that was Recorded of a Believer Repenting By Paris Reidhead* Will you turn, please, to Job, Chapter 42. Job, 42nd Chapter, and I would like to read most of the chapter. I think that you will find that it is an exciting portion. Incidentally, Job is the oldest book in the Bible. D... Read More

Reading: Exodus 32:31,32; 11-14; Numbers 14:11-20. "Then said the Lord unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, yet My mind would not be toward this people" (Jer. 15:1).

"(Abishai) was made their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three" (II Sam. 23:19). We are not so much concerned at the moment with the details of the exploits of these three men as...

READING: Hebrews 11:10; Ezekiel 5:5. Our object is to see that because Jerusalem is so closely related to God, indeed has been brought into being by Him, her values must be pre-eminently spiritual and divine. Back of her history there lie those elements which are not of this world, nor are they mere... Read More

"Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a bondservant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obe...
