PEACE: INNER”

How are we going to escape fear, when there are legitimate dangers that lie all around us? Well, here’s what the man of God says: “Don’t be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God and the peace of God which passeth all … Continue reading “WORRY;
FAITH: CONFIDENCE IN GOD”

The result over the last 20 years has been a religious debauch hardly equaled since Israel worshiped the golden calf. Of us Bible Christians it may truthfully be said that we “sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.” The separating line between the Church and the world has been all … Continue reading “WORLDLINESS;
CHURCH: SPIRITUAL CONDITION; SEPARATION”

You bristle a little and ask, “Is there … Continue reading “WORLD:
CONTENTMENT WITH; PILGRIMS; EARTHLY THINGS”
