We have, in the book of Exodus, the account of that visit which Moses paid to Jehovah Himself in the excellent glory above Mount Sinai–a visit lasting forty days and forty nights, during which time Moses received from God very explicit instructions concerning a tabernacle which he was to make for the dwelling-place of Jehovah […]
I was visiting a friend near Avignon in the south of France. He and his wife labor (the word may not be strong enough) among the expatriate Arabs from the former French colonies of North Africa. It is not an easy work. The parched moral landscape of France is difficult enough, but work among the […]

God has chosen in love and grace to reveal Himself to His creature, man. We discover He is One God, yet manifest in three divine persons, being a Father, a Son and a Holy Spirit. We speak most reverently of the First, the Second and the Third Persons of the Godhead. This is not by […]
Mrs. Weisbecker labors for the Lord with her husband, Jim, at Camp Iroquoina near Hallstead, Pennsylvania. In recent years in their travels, and in her speaking to women, she has become increasingly burdened about the biblical role of women in the church.
