PRACTICAL GODLINESS Arthur W. Pink "Be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only; deceiving your own selves" James 1:22 It is much, very much to be thankful for when the Holy Spirit has illumined a man’s understanding, dispersed the mists of error, and established him in the Truth. Yet that is only... Read More

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 1. THE SCRIPTURES AND SIN There is grave reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study of the last few years has been of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it.
