Love is one of those things that almost all people think they possess. Brotherly love is something that almost all believers would say they possess and practice as well as most Christians. We know God has loved the world of people, that believers ought to love other believers, and yet we also know that there […]

A Summary of Eutychus and His Kin
“The night was hot and muggy in the cramped upstairs room. I had not had supper; I was thirsty and because I was small, I got assigned to a tiny chair shoved against the back window. I was too short to see and too far away to hear. Professor Paul had forgotten his visual aids; […]
Is Holiness A Doctrine?
I was born in 1950. The last half of the twentieth century and now into the first half of the twenty first has been an interesting time to be alive. In addition to the fast and ever-changing world in which we live, I think the church life of the average American believer has been an […]
The Christian and Amusements
Biederworlf was a well-know Presbyterian fundamentalist at the turn of the century. He once headed the Winona Lake Bible Conference (1922) and taught at Winona Lake School of Theology (1922-33). A study like this from a generation gone by (1907) is always a cultural reminder of how much the church has changed. His three subjects […]
The Bema Seat of Christ
The Bema Seat of Christ is the Judgment Seat of Christ. “Bema” is the transliteration of the Greek word and “Judgment” is the usual English translation of that word. Paul appeared at Gallio’s bema seat in Corinth (Acts 18:12), at Herod’s bema seat in Caesarea (Acts 23:35), and at Nero’s bema seat in Rome (Acts […]
When Sinners Say “I Do”
I just like the title! Harvey follows that theme throughout with a good emphasis on our human nature and the trouble it causes us especially with other people. A good companion to marriage counseling.
Marriage
This is an enjoyable and easy to use discussion book for couples. It covers five topics in eight chapters and includes questions and answers for each section (communication, conflict, forgiveness, sexual intimacy, and money matters).
The Believer and Prayer
Prayer is the most neglected power on earth. God has given us two wonderful tools with which to get things done: work and prayer. C.S. Lewis called these the dignity of causality which God has given to His creatures. A.W. Tozer wrote that there are three legitimate ways a desire may be obtained, “one is […]
Mornings with Tozer
Each year I read a “daily” reading book, usually left by my bedside. There are many good ones out there which give a short page of thought-provoking material. Tozer, of course, is very provoking! But don’t read these instead of Scripture.
Spirit Filled: an individual responsibi...
The local church is made up of individual believers. Each believer comes into the church by testimony of his faith in Christ exhibited by believer’s baptism. The local church is the earthly expression of the body of Christ and must keep itself pure, by all human means, of unbelief within its members. Only in this […]
