"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

"Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." - II CORINTHIANS 4:9 [KJV] You may be cast down by many doubts and fears, and lose the sense of the Lord's love to your soul, but you cannot lose the reality, nor is your faith destroyed by the hottest flame. It is like gold; the fire melts away and separates the dross and tin, but never touches the gold. In your hottest trials your faith will not have lost a particle. Neither will your hope be destroyed, however you may be cast down about your state or standing; for not a particle of hope, or of any one Christian grace can ever be lost. They may seem to suffer diminution as the apostle speaks, "If a man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss" [I CORINTHIANS 3:15 ] ; but it is no real loss,—it is merely the dross taken away, that he may come forth a vessel for the finer. The work of the Holy Spirit is as indestructible as the work of Christ; and thus every grace which He imp...

“ Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” - ROMANS 3:24 [KJV] All who are justified, that is, declared by God to be forgiven and righteous in, through and by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, are said to have been justified “ freely.” “Freely” is translated “ without a cause” in John 15:25, where our Lord said to His disciples, “ They hated Me without a cause.” The Lord Jesus was hated by His enemies though there was no reason in Him as to why He should be despised. Even so, those justified by God are declared righteous though there is no reason in them as to why He should justify them. This declaration of righteousness was therefore done without any consideration of anything done by them or anything in them. They are accepted by God without any cause in them at all, the sole reason being found out-side of themselves, “ the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” All of those sinners in whose stead Chris...

"Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." - JOHN 1:17 [KJV] The way to learn truth is to be much in prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ; as you lie upon your bed, as engaged in your daily occupation, to be from time to time looking up to the Lord Himself as He sits upon His throne of grace, and be begging of Him to teach you Himself, for He is the best teacher. The words which He speaks, they "are spirit and life." What He writes upon our hearts is written in characters which will "stand every storm and live at last." We forget what we learn from man, but we never forget what we learn from Jesus. Men may deceive—Christ cannot. You can trust no minister really and fully. Though you may receive truth from his lips, it is always mixed with human infirmity. But what you get from the lips of Jesus, you get in all its purity and power. It comes warm from Him; it comes cold from us. It drops like the rain and distils like the dew from His mouth; it co...

Jesus The Baptiser! D. G. Miles McKee   “ I indeed baptise you with water unto repentance: but H e that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: H e shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: w hose fan is in H is hand, and H e will thoroughly purge H is floor, and gather H is wheat into the garner; but H e will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” - MATTHEW 3:11-12 [KJV] How is it possible that a mere carpenter from Nazareth will baptise people with the Holy Ghost and fire? Only God can pour Himself out and baptise with the Holy Ghost! The Holy Spirit is God, not an influence of God. Isaiah 44:3 makes this clear. In that verse, Yahweh says, “ For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour M y spirit upon thy seed, and M y blessing upon thine offspring ”. In the light of this scripture, how does anyone sincerely believe that Jesus was merely a man? For Him to be the Bapti...
