Psalm 73:24. You shall guide me with your counsel and afterward receive me to glory.

Understanding divine truth requires divine wisdom. This is taught in a simple, childlike way by Jesus; ‘Ask, and you will receive.’ This was also taught by his forerunner, John the Baptist: John 3:27. John answered, “A man can possess nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.”...

The second everlasting covenant became the most controversial and divisive issue for the New Testament congregations. In Genesis 17 God changed Abram’s name to Abraham to establish His everlasting covenant with him. God commanded that circumcision of every male be the token of that covenant...

People often speak of "war and rumors of war", as well as global disasters as being signs of the end time. I would ask you today to look with fresh eyes and consider the Lord's heart in this regard. Matthew 24:1. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to Him to...

Beginning with the Law: Deuteronomy 18:21,22. You may say in your heart, ‘How will we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has...
