Jesus’ Blood Keeps On Cleansing You
1 John 1:7 7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. During the day, the devil may whisper in your head, “You cannot go into God’s presence because you have not […]
Does My Sacrifice Live?

Through Simple, Trusting Faith
The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 1: 14. It is your privilege ever to grow in grace, advancing in the knowledge and love of God, if you maintain the sweet communion with Christ it is your privilege to enjoy. In the simplicity […]
“He is Able”
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 1: 12. The apostle [Paul] was looking into the great beyond, not with uncertainty or dread, but with joyous hope and longing expectation. As he stands at the […]
