      Women Of Grace

      Oct 21, 2019

      Many who read the above scripture are usually quick to grab the promises of prisons shaking, stubborn doors opening, and chains falling away. However, upon deeper study of this scripture, it is evident that the “Suddenly” in verse 26 was a direct res

      The River Of Life

      Mar 8, 2024

      I love standing on a bridge, staring into the fast-moving waters of a river, on their way to the sea from their source in distant hills. The length of a river is like the span of a human life. Some lives are long, but others, sadly, can be much short

      Why Do Many People STRUGGLE With A LACK OF FAITH?

      Feb 11, 2022

      The apostle Paul exhorts Christians to “walk by faith and not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. What we see here is a contrast between truth and perception—what we know and believe to be true and what we perceive to be true. This is where the Christian

      Should Christians Celebrate Easter, Or Is It Pagan?

      Mar 18, 2022

      Though perhaps the day with the highest church attendance, Easter Sunday can be a source of contention among Christians. Some Christians view Easter as having pagan origins or being so commercialised that it is wrong to participate. Others simply vie

      Most of us would recognise that the last words of a great and godly man or woman before their death would likely be words of great value. Words to consider and ponder. Jesus’ seven statements from the Cross are of that category and are thus recorded

      THE COMMUNION AND COMMUNICANT.

      There is no institution more delightful to the Christian than the holy sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.  It is a touching remembrance of a Redeemer’s love—a refreshing means of grace to the soul—a happy communion of the Lord’s believing family—and a gladdening foretaste of the marriage supper of the Lamb.  With what heartfelt gratitude should believers rejoice in such a feast!

      But it is not to all a feast of joy.  Some neglect it from a total want of inclination; some receive it in a careless, worldly spirit, and to them it soon becomes an empty form, like a vessel in which is no water; while others regard it as an awful mystery—as something too high for such as they are, and, like the holy of holies in the temple, beyond the reach of common men.

      This sense of mysterious awe may be traced, in great measure, to the startling words of St. Paul in 1 Cor. xi.. 29, He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.  Nor can there be any question, that the impression made by such strong and fearful language should be that of the deepest possible solemnity.  St. Paul spoke by inspiration, and that man must indeed be a bold transgressor, who does not feel awed and solemnized when he reads such a caution from the Holy Ghost.  But yet the Christian is not right if he lays aside the subject under the first sense of solemn awe, or excludes himself from a delightful privilege, because he sees solemnity in the ordinance, and apprehends some possible danger in its misuse.  He ought rather to take the Word of God, and study
