Conscience is … Continue reading “250. HOW CAN A MAN WALK WITH GOD? CONSCIENCE.”

Revelation 1:9. Tribulation, Kingdom, And Patience. … the tribulation and kingdom and patience… in Jesus…. Rev_1:9 The text is only a phrase. But what a phrase it is. Taken thus, in separation from its context it is full of suggestiveness. Its opening word, "tribulation," is tremulous with sadness. It speaks of stress and strain and … Continue reading “247.

1 John 2:3. Fellowship With God. Our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 1Jn_2:3 The great word of this passage, which at once arrests our attention, is the word "fellowship."
