April 23, 1899 – February 8, 2001 To “remember them which… have spoken unto you the word of God” Hebrews 13:7 tells us, is essential to our spiritual progress. To remember someone that has been a “father in the faith,” mentor, counselor, and close friend, like brother Bramhall, is a joy for which I thank […]
Cherchez la femme. Wherever there is signal blessing, you will always find the woman. When Adam named the animal creation, it exposed to his own heart that he was missing something. The variety and scope of God’s astounding handiwork only accentuated his own need for a help suitable for him. Yet in order to provide […]
Dorcas was a woman marked by service for God. She lived in Joppa, the place where Jonah tried to run from doing service assigned to him by God. Though women are to respect the position of men, they need not let the poor service of men hinder them from doing their work for God. Women […]

And His disciples said unto Him, Thou seest the multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, Who touched Me?” (Mk. 5:30-31) […]
No one likes to feel inferior. People use all kinds of methods to keep this from happening to themselves. But with God, we never need to waste our time evaluating our position in the world. There are two identical phrases used in Luke 1 that illustrate this to us. This phrase is: “He shall be […]
How strategic was this open heart to the gospel advance into Europe! The aggressive spirit of Christianity in the early days is evinced by the fact that Christ had not been twenty years in glory when His missionaries planted His ensign of salvation under the walls of Philippi. Jesus Himself led His missionary band from […]
