The Lord’s Supper, A Study of 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

by John Zens

 

Introduction

Doctor or Brother Titles For Clergy And Church Leaders

What strange methods God sometimes employs in teaching His children much needed lessons! This has recently been the writer’s experience.

Christ Died For The Ungodly

by Horatius Bonar

The divine testimony concerning man is, that he is a sinner. God bears witness against him, not for him; and testifies that "there is none righteous, no, not one"; that there is "none that doeth good"; none "that understandeth"; none that even seeks after God, and, still more, none that loves Him (Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10-12).
