We must register the simple truth of the Word of God that WITHOUT LOVE WE ARE NOTHING (1Cor. 13:1-3) though we may have all the knowledge and all the faith to move mountains and though we may be doing truly wonderful works for the Lord, and though we may be admired by millions of believers...

Where Are Thou ? – Chapter 6 – Part 1 – Mailing #158 – excerpt from The TRAGEDY and GLORY of BELIEVERS
CHAPTER 6 WHERE ART THOU? “…and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the Presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, WHERE ART THOU?” (Gen. 3:8b,9) Ever since that time, the Lord God has been seeking man and calling upon him… and ever...

u) REPENTANCE IS NOT DELIVERANCE. Repentance is our remorse, our willingness and decision to turn from our way and follow the light the Lord shows us. The goodness of God leads us to repentance (Rom. 2:4b) and it is the beginning of our deliverance, not the deliverance itself. How are we then delivered? After our repentance, the...

Let us consider one important aspect of our ministry which also applies to our everyday life. We all know that we should speak truth and not lies. Yet, we may speak truth in various unacceptable ways and spirits and we either speak it that way purposely or unaware. To edify or build up any believer...

t) OUR WALK on the narrow way or running our race set before us by the Father may be hampered or altogether prevented by two things: WEIGHTS that we carry and SINS that we commit. (Heb. 12:1) Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith enables us to receive from Him the necessary faith-light about both our weights...

So, one may be perfect and yet wicked; one may be perfect and a “piece of stone” in place of his heart. True believers are commanded by God to love because they are born of Him, Who is Love. But those created by God and not born of Him were never commanded to love God with all their heart and...

o) NOW WE MAY COME to Our Father and give Him the most true and heartfelt thanks for His Way of our Salvation! He created a way where there was “no way”… in the eyes of Satan, that is. Let us now consider the Greatest Mystery and Victory of God that there is or that there ever could...

n) ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING and mysterious questions that we may ponder before Our Father is the following: What is our “old man”, our sinful nature, our sin all about? What is its true origin, its beginning, its essence, its character? Why it cannot be changed, abandoned or reversed? How can we understand it? I will...

IT WAS NEVER OUR PART TO FIGHT OUR FLESH SINCE OUR FLESH CAN NEVER DESTROY ITSELF, OUR OWN SINFUL NATURE CAN NEVER DENY AND CRUCIFY ITSELF! It has always been God’s part to do, but always with our cooperation – our confession, repentance and consent to turn away from it and destroy it. That is why God first destroyed our flesh on the...
