The Heartbeat of the Remnant: Good evening, Bro. Dean! Dean Stump: Good evening to you! THTR: The seed for this interview was actually planted a couple of years ago while looking through some of the old issues of The…
When the ten tribes of Israel were carried away captive by the king of Assyria, their places were supplied with strangers of different idolatrous nations, who knew nothing of the religion of the Jews. Very soon the wild…
Throughout the ages emperors, kings, presidents, and rulers have placed their images on coins and other forms of currency, thus expressing their ownership and authority over them. Mt. 22:20-21, Mk. 12:16-17, Lk. 20:24-25…
They said, he is beside himself. Mk. 3:21 The most pitiable life in the history of the world is the life of the Lord Jesus. Those who study it find out, every day, a fresh sorrow. Before He came it was already foretold…

“It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that…
I find it incredibly difficult to put thirty-plus years into a few minutes of expression, in great feebleness. I want to read Isaiah 57:1. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are…
“It is not the critic that counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, nor where the doer of deeds could have been done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena— whose face…

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 Do you triumph, O my brother, Over…
