    • Will there be a universal language of worship?

      Against their will the nations of the world, great and small, are being drawn, as by a great magnet, towards the Middle East, and towards the centre of God’s purpose with the earth. The divine testimony is that “… in …

      Looking at Jesus as an Intercessor in Hebrews and Romans

      At the outset it was said that the word intercessor was used but few times in the New Testament, to which we now turn, bearing in mind that the previous remarks still apply, for there are probably many instances where …

      An Overview of the Four Gospels and the Cherubim

      Part 5

      Some Final Thoughts

      It would be presumptuous of me to call this article a ‘Conclusion’, because I have not reached a point where I can be sure in my own mind that the link between the Cherubim and …

      Angelic Work Today

      Ignorance Of Angelic Work

      Angels walk through Scripture, sometimes visible, sometimes invisible, speaking to faithful men, drawing the veil of human sight to reveal visions of God, warning, punishing, working miracles, caring for some, destroying others – and in how …

      Why did Paul send Onesimus back to Philemon?

      Philemon was a brother in Christ. Onesimus was his slave. A contradictory situation. Employing people is one thing, and even that is subject to dangerous abuse by employer and employee; but keeping slaves is so completely alien to the Christian …

      Bringing the Gospels to Life

      Imagination

      Have you a ‘good’ imagination? I don’t mean ‘good’ in opposition to ‘evil’ – though I’ll come to that later – but ‘good’ in the sense of ‘strong’. When you answer the ‘phone do you visualise the unseen speaker, even if …

      Introduction to a Study of the Angels

      Introduction

      The world around us goes about its affairs largely unconscious of the presence of angels in their midst. And as far as Christendom is concerned, this is so, even though belief in angels is written into its creeds. Angels …

      The Concept of Intercession in the Scriptures

      The dictionary definition of intercessor is “one that is a peacemaker between two, someone who pleads for one, a prayer on behalf of someone.” Such a definition shows that intercession is almost if not absolutely synonymous with mediation or advocacy.

      Visual Aids

      The eye is probably the most used organ of our body during our waking hours. Not until we experience the misfortune of impaired eyesight do we appreciate the value of this little but wonderful member of our body.

      Teachings of Jesus from the book Matthew

      What is the result of learning? The theorists tell us it is change. If you learn something, you have added it to yourself and change has resulted; you are different.

      What is the result of learning about the Lord Jesus? …

      Proverbs In All Ages

      God To Us

      “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” (1 John 3:1). Therefore the high …

      Proverbs in All Ages

      God To Jesus

      That Jesus was God’s Son requires no proof here. The Proverbs, then, as part of his Bible, must have been known and loved by him. In this article we now want to think of some ways in …

      The Nature and Status of Angels

      Angels And Men

      Most people know that the words translated “angel” in both Old and New Testaments simply mean “messenger” (‘malak’ in the Old, ‘angelos’ in the New). If the translators had followed this literal meaning, and put ‘mess­enger’ each …

      The Cyclic Theme in the Book of Judges

      The word ‘amphictyony’ (nice word, isn’t it?) describes a loose association of neighbouring groups for a common religious purpose.

      It is the situation in the Judges period from Moses to the beginning of the Monarchy, a period of about five …

      What is Fear? What should we be fearful of?

      “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. . .”

      There’s something fascinating about the English language: either it is poverty stricken, so that one word has to suffice for a dozen different ideas, or we who speak …

      The Characteristics of John’s Gospel and the Cherubim

      Part 4

      John

      One thing is clear; the Fourth Gospel is very different from the other three. While Matthew, Mark and Luke are often printed together in Gospel Parallels, rarely is any attempt made to include John with these “Synoptic …

      The Cherubim and the Gospels

      Part One

      The scope of our study

      Is there any connection between the Four Gospels and the Cherubim? In Ezekiel 1:10 we are told that the four cherubim each had the faces of a lion, an ox, a man and …
