To bring Jesus Christ more glory, affection, and devotion through the clear revelation of His Word.
In Ephesians we are told, “husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it;” [Eph 5:25] and, in regard to the institution of marriage, Paul writes by The Spirit, “this is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [Eph 5:32] From this passage we …

In Jesus’ greatest time of need, He earnestly sought His Father in prayer. As the things written of Him from long ago were culminating toward that great and dreadful conclusion, where He, The Christ, who did no sin neither was guile found in His mouth, would suffer and die, being reckoned among transgressors, for the …
In Corinthians, Paul tells us that man “is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.” [1 Cor 11:7] Much like the gold of the temple would reflect the sunlight, or how the moon reflects the same, the man is to reflect the glory of God. In Lamentations, …
In Isaiah, in reference to the New Covenant – that covenant of which Jesus is mediator and Lord – God says, “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” [Isa 55:3] Again, in Jeremiah, He …
One of the most precious truths about our “Great God and Savior Jesus Christ,” [Titus 2:13] is that His ears are open to us; as it is written, “His ears are open unto [the righteous man’s] cry.” [Psa 34:15] Praise be to our God, Jesus Christ, whose ears are open to us – to the …
The love which Jesus has for us is incredible and strong, a vehement flame of divine passion which cannot be quenched. In an infinite contrast and opposition to the fires of hell, which “never shall be quenched,” [Mk 9:43] Christ’s love for us shall never fade nor grow cold. Yes, praise to God Almighty that …
Though the world props up money as something to seek after, yet The Bible says otherwise. Whereas the world seeks security and rest in an abundance of riches, God says, “riches profit not in the day of wrath.” [Prov 11:4] Moreover, where the world uplifts the pursuit of wealth as something admirable, God clearly demonstrates …
In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes, “for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” [1 Cor 4:20] The kingdom of God is not just speech; not just words and knowledge and things such as that. For again, we read in Corinthians, “knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.” [1 …
Through Peter, The Spirit reminds husbands that their wives are “heirs together of the grace of life.” [1 Pe 3:7] Often, and not only in marriage, there is temptation to see ourselves solitarily; that is, to view ourselves as the only righteous persons left – much like Elijah who said, “Lord, they have killed thy …
One of the greatest Christian comforts is the precious and true knowledge that Jesus continually intercedes for us. In Hebrews we read, “And [the Levitical] priests truly were many, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: but this man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able …
