In PURSUIT, a Christian is a follower of Christ. “Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matt. 16:24). Thus, our ultimate and primary ambition of life is to follow Jesus. In KNOWLEDGE, a Christian is a disciple …

“The Gospel’s” means that it is of, and comes from the Gospel. Not from a man. Not from a council of men. Not from our “feelings.” It is from the Gospel as delivered by inspired men (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20,21). Thus, it is the Divine message given by Deity; and it does make …

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phi. 3:14). In the verse’s context, the Scriptures picture us as being in a race. In our race, as in a foot-race, we do not pause to dwell upon the ground behind us (which we have already covered) …

Our loving God would not have us live in such a way that is harmful or unbeneficial to us. And seeing how worry harms us physically (Dr. S.L.

An unthankful person is a “boar” to be around! His thoughts and his actions are fixed upon himself, and he has little to no interest in needs of others! He is far from the person whom Jesus describes in his teaching! The word thankfulness is not part of his character. He may think of himself …

Did you and I have a beginning? Yes, I began to be March of 1939. No, this not what we call my birthday but month I was conceived! When my mother conceived me I was a human being. Jesus became a human being at the time Mary conceived him. This is also the way all …
