1 Timothy 1:8

THE LAW AND THE SAINT 3. THE POSITIVE SIDE What is the relation of the Law (the Ten Commandments) to Christians?

DEUTERONOMY 10:5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which 1 had made; and there they be, as the Lord commanded me. MOSES being called up to mount Sinai, the Lord de... Read More

It is a doubtful exegesis which teaches that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night because of fear of the Jewish Council (of which he was a member). His interview with Christ took place too early in the ministry of the Saviour for that. John the Baptist was not yet cast into prison. The envy and the enmi... Read More

Abraham, My Friend The Making of a Praying Man_54 The Child of Promise The typology of Isaac does not only relate to the true Son but also to all true sons.
