CHRIST the BELIEVER’S CENTER of ATTRACTION: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” (Rom 8:35). Frederick Edward (F.E.) Marsh (1858-1931) was a great man of God, an avid student of the Word of God, and a prolific author. His whole adult life was given to the warm and careful teaching of the Word, […]
“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Ps 139:14). If you lined up all the blood vessels in the body, they would stretch over 62,000 miles (almost 100,000 kms), more than twice the distance around Earth.

“Lord, I will follow You, but…” (Lk 9:61). God’s answers are wiser than our asking, His responses fuller than our requests, His delight in hearing us greater than our desire to seek His help. We ask what we think would satisfy our little hearts; He gives what satisfies His mighty heart. He does not give […]
“Unless a kernel of wheat fall in the ground and die, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit” (Jn 12:24).
