CHRIST the BELIEVER’S PROSPECT: “And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure” (1 Jn 3:3). Evangelist T.D.W.

Shortly after, the family moved to Hamilton, Ontario, where Donald Munro and John Smith were preaching. After six weeks of meetings, however, no one […]
“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word” (Acts 4:29).
