The question to be asked of all teaching is not, 'Is it new?' but 'Is it true?
Truth0The soul is the richest piece of embroidery ever made by the hands of God: the understanding bespangled with light; the will invested with liberty; the affections, like a harp, tuned by the Holy Ghost.
Soul0The soul is a divine spark kindled by the breath of God…. It is a bright mirror in which some refracted beams of God's wisdom and holiness do shine forth; the soul is a blossom of eternity.
Soul0The soul hath three places of being: in the body from the Lord, in the Lord from the body, in the body with the Lord. The two last are referred to our salvation in heaven, either in part, when the soul is glorified alone, or totally, when both are crowned together. Now, the soul must be even here in the Lord's keeping or else it is lost. If God let go His hold, it sinks. It came from God; it returns to God. It cannot be well one moment without God.
Soul0The historicity of Christ is as axiomatic for an unbiased historian as the historicity of Julius Caesar. It is not historians who propagate the 'Christ-myth' theories.

Where love is the compelling power, there is no sense of strain or conflict or bondage in doing what is right: the man or woman who is compelled by Jesus' love and empowered by His Spirit does the will of God from the heart.

The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors, the authenticity of which no one dreams of questioning. And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt.

At the threshold of his public ministry, he silenced the Baptist's objections to baptizing him with the words "thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness"-or, as the NEB puts it, "we do well to conform in this way with all that God requires" (Matt. 3:15). Unlike those others who were baptized by John in the Jordan, confessing their sins, it was with no consciousness of sin that he accepted baptism, but with the resolution to place himself unreservedly at God's disposal posal for the accomplishment of his saving purpose-and if, in doing so, he associated himself publicly with sinners, that was something which he was going to do throughout his ministry, until he was "numbered with the transgressors" on the cross.
The Epistle to the HebrewsJesus Humiliation, Jesus Suffering0The Epistle to the Hebrews
this is the book which establishes the finality of the gospel by asserting the supremacy of Christ-his supremacy as God's perfect word to man and man's perfect representative with God. More than any other New Testament book it deals with the ministry which our Lord is accomplishing on his people's behalf now.
