ARTICLES

The All Sufficiency of Christ
F. B. Meyer

When the disciple whom Jesus loved fell at His feet as one dead; when the church at Smyrna needed encouragement to remain faithful unto death; when spirits athirst for God cry out for the living water; when the way has to be opened…Read more

The Possibilities of Faith
A. B. Simpson

Salvation is possible to him that believeth. No matter how vile the sin, how many or how great the sins, how aggravated the guilt, how deep the corruption, how long the career of impenitence and crime,….Read more

Degrees of Faith
Various

At one stage of Christian experience we cannot believe unless we have some sign or some great manifestation of feeling. We feel our fleece, like Gideon, and if it is wet we are willing to trust God. This may be true faith, but it is imperfect…Read more

Oil of Singspiration
A. B. Saint

The book of Psalms, this wonderful book of praise, is also known as the National Hymnbook of Israel. It is a praise book indeed, a practical book and also a prophetic book. It is a book where history is unfolded before us….Read more

The Faith of The Son of God
Smith Wigglesworth

I believe there are two kinds of faith. All people are born with a natural faith but God calls us to a supernatural faith which is a gift from Himself. In the twenty sixth chapter of Acts Paul tells us of his call, how God spoke to him…Read more

Getting Off The Perch of Distrust
Various

The moment has come when you must get off the perch of distrust, out of the nest of seeming safety, and onto the wings of faith; just such a time as comes to the bird when it must begin to try the air. It may seem as though you must drop to the earth; so it may seem to the fledgling. …Read more

Behold I Am The Lord
Andrew Bonar
Charles H. Spurgeon

If, Christian friends, you should inquire, “What is great faith, and what is little faith?” the answer is at hand. The sinner who sees little in Christ is the man to whom we must say “0, thou of little faith”…Read more

Occupy Until I Come
A. B. Simpson

The stories of Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther are great miracles of Providence and are full of instruction for us who live in these last times, of which those days are typical and prophetic. God was pleased to work, as no doubt He will work in these days, by the feeblest instruments, and by those least likely to accomplish their purpose…Read more

Christ Our True Refuge
R. A. Torrey

Religion is a refuge of lies. You say, “What do you mean?” Trust in religion is one thing; trust in the personal Christ is another thing. There is many a man who trusts in his religion and yet he is not saved…Read more

Good Ground?
Andrew Murray

It is not difficult to say what it is that hardens the hearts. The seed sown by the wayside could not enter the soil, because it had been trodden down by the passers-by. When the world, with its business and its interests…Read more

I Will Follow Thee, But…
Oswald Chambers

Common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense; thy stand in relation to the natural and the spiritual; of impulse and inspiration. Nothing Jesus Christ ever said is common sense, it is revelation sense…Read more

The People That Do Know Their God
Charles H. Spurgeon

Every believer understands that to know God is the highest and best form of knowledge; and this spiritual knowledge is a source of strength to the Christian. It strengthens his faith. Believers are constantly spoken of in the Scriptures as being persons who are enlightened and taught of the Lord…Read more

BIOGRAPHY

It was 1884 when Britain’s champion sportsman, C.T. Studd was faced with the crisis that would change the course of his life. The American preacher D.L. Moody was holding evangelistic campaigns in Cambridge, and The Holy Spirit was at work among the students. With C.T’s rise in prominence in the cricket world coinciding with his fellow sporty brother’s increasing devotion to God, the two collide as his brother becomes ill and is thought to be dying. As C.T Studd sits by his brother’s bedside, eternity suddenly becomes a reality.

In C.T Studd’s own words….Read more

Divine Grace
John Bunyan
