“If Any Man Would Follow Me…” “If any man come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” These words, spoken by the Lord Jesus without any preamble are the very heart of discipleship.

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine.

Revelation 1:8 When the word of God is devalued, when the word of God is made to be insignificant, when the word of God just becomes dry and dusty ancient literature, nothing happens. But whenever...

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

How can we live the Christian life? But the righteous shall live by faith ...“ ‘Faith as a grain of mustard seed.’ Have you seen a mustard seed? If I had a handful of mustard seed in the palm of my hand, it could not be seen very well from a short distance away. But if I took one grain...

Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts. (II Peter 1:9) The word of prophecy was not given that we might merely be comforted but that we would be...

A Psalm of David. Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array:...
