Kicking Against The Goad

James Stalker

It was the persecutor?s hope utterly to exterminate Christianity.
But little did he understand its genius. It thrives on persecution. Prosperity has often
been [nearly] fatal to it, persecution never. “They that were scattered abroad went
everywhere preaching the word” (Acts 8:4). Hitherto the Church had been confined
within the walls of Jerusalem; but now all over Judea and Samaria, and in distant
Phoenicia and Syria, the beacon of the gospel began in many a town and village to twinkle
through the darkness.

God’s Order of Headship

Bob Gessner

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God….For the man is not of the
woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman
for the man (1 Cor. 11:3,8,9).

No Comments on Reassembling The Assembly

Steve Hulshizer

The question is often asked, “Do assembly principles apply to
meetings held outside the assembly?” The answers vary greatly depending on who you
ask. The real problem is that Scripture does not address such gatherings, and, as such, in
the eyes of many we are left to our own thinking.

No Comments on ANNA ?Meditations – Luke 2:25-38

By Barry Kirk

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. she
was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple,
but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all
them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. Lk. 2:36-38
