Modernists have not written very charitably of the prophet Jeremiah and the reason is not far to seek. Jeremiah has given us their portrait in divinely faithful terms: “An assembly of treacherous men! And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies; but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for […]
John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) remains an enigma, known yet unknown, warmly loved by some, bitterly denounced by others. To this day his gravesite receives a regular pilgrimage of his devotees, while others are still rummaging through his closets, searching for skeletons. He is both credited and accused for his teaching on the church and prophecy. […]
It all began in 1964 in Chile, while Joseph Tremblay was a missionary in the Congregation of the Oblate Fathers of Mary Immaculate, and ended in Canada in 1966. What happened between these two dates?

The expectations we have for our elders seem to far outstrip our awareness of our responsibilities to our overseers. To know them. “We beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you” (I Thess. 5:12). How many wish that their elders would take more […]
Jesus had read a startling statement concerning the coming Messiah in the synagogue at Nazareth. Then He applied it to Himself. But this is the carpenter’s son, they had said. In unbelief “they led Him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built.” Did you ever wonder just exactly what the geography […]
Am I instructed to be involved in home visitation? Should our assembly work out a practical approach to this ministry?
