As we journey through this life here on earth as pilgrims and strangers, I find it but a rare occasion that a book of such spiritual quality and true Christian illustration—such as is Only a Servant—surfaces and finds…
Let no man deceive you with vain words. Ephesians 5:6 Certain men crept in unawares...turning the grace of God into lasciviousness. Jude 4 The funny thing about a broken clock is that it is perfectly right twice a day.…
Dear Brother: 5-25-09 Greetings in Christ Jesus! May this find you making peace (MT 5:9) and doing righteousness (1 JN 3:7), laying up in store for yourself treasures in heaven. I am writing to share something that has…
As we examine God’s Word from cover to cover, we find that every part of it points in some way to the person of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament points forward to Him, the Gospels reveal Him, and the rest of the New…
I have been thinking a lot about the verse, “And yet I show unto you a more excellent way.” (1 Co. 12:31) What is this way? It is the way of perfect love. We knew that all the time, didn’t we? But what does Paul really…
