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.

The Hacking of Agag

Mark Kolchin

It would have appeared after Saul?s return from his battle with
the Amalekites (1 Sam. 15) that his victory over them was complete and decisive. Charged
by God to utterly destroy these perennial enemies (v. 2), he launched a successful
military campaign against them and defeated these foes with the edge of the sword.
Although he had decimated their ranks, Saul had not completely destroyed them but had
spared Agag their king and the best of the flocks.

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).

Preachers of the Truth

Charles Fuller. Additional comments
by Bob Gessner

Preachers of the truth! God has always had them down through the
centuries. Did you ever wish you could hear some of these great servants preaching from
the Word of God? We cannot hear them, but some of their messages have been preserved.
Let?s go way back to the early centuries of Christianity and look at three brief
messages concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.
