I’ll be reviewing this title that is copyrighted 1966. A.P. Gibbs is a
pretty well known writer and teacher within Plymouth Brethren circles
so I wonder how I’ll approach this…

I can’t say I necessarily like to read commentaries. Sometimes dry as
dust and slipping into foreign languages at the turn of a page, they
can prove to be quite heavy reading. But, they’re still very beneficial
especially if you lend a steady ear to the author’s words instead of
putting up a defensive wall or some such. So, I have a question for you
commentary readers out there…

Uplook Fridays:Fellowship at the Feast
It is the blessed habit of the saints to
especially remember our Lord at His own instituted remembrance feast. This
ought to be our hearty resolve each Lord’s Day. Nothing should be allowed to
disturb these moments of quiet and sacred remembrance. Then let us put aside
all worldly care, and all daily business, and all the griefs and sorrows of our
earthly pilgrimage, gathering to Him and with His saints in this feast of love.
({{1 Cor 10:17}})

Remember Your Baptism -tmp(Rom 6:1-11)
{{Romans 6}} illustrates a mind-boggling reality with a
simple picture. While dealing with the difficulty of our sinful natures Paul
makes us look to something that is known to all believers—the baptism by water.
His purpose, though, does not remain in the symbol but stretches into the
infinite wisdom and love of God that would bestow on sinners the mercy and love
they did not deserve. We can, thankfully, look at this portion to provoke a
fire in our own thinking no matter how long we’ve been in Christ.
I have the second edition of this book so my comments are directed at that volume.
