Experiencing the Unsearchable Riches of Christ

"/>
Coming to Christ brings us to taste and feel and experience His power and kindness. It is far deeper than head-knowledge or mere sentimentality. Here, from the prayer of Scripture, we show what Christ gives to all who trust in Him.

Preaching and Guarding the True Gospel

"/>
God's true message is a simple, exclusive plan of salvation. Paul, like the other apostles, needed three years of training in God's revelation to prepare for the task. Here are Satan's attacks, the apostles' resolute defence, and how they reached out to different forms of unbelief.

Ruling the House of God

'And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.'

A Death to Life Experience

"/>
When Christ healed a paralysed man, He first pronounced that his sins were forgiven. To prove that He had power to forgive, He then healed the body, giving life where all had been limp and motionless; illustrating the changes in conversion to Christ.

Cessationism — Proving Charismatic Gifts have Ceased
Dr Peter Masters

Does the Bible teach definitively that the charismatic gifts have ceased? The ceasing of revelatory and sign-gifts in the time of the apostles is so plainly taught in God’s Word, that the opposite view has only seriously appeared in the last 100 years.
Six Biblical Steps for Guidance
Dr Peter Masters

This article presents the traditional view that we are to seek guidance from the Lord in all the major decisions of life, and he will clarify our thinking, or overrule our circumstances. ‘Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me.’ (Psalm 25.4-5)
Ask, Seek, Knock
Dr Peter Masters

'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' We usually consider these famous words in an evangelistic context, urging seekers to come to Christ. But we realise they are made equally for all believers, because Christ spoke of the Father’s readiness to give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.
The Dual Nature And The Duel Within
C H Spurgeon

There are in all believers two principles. The apostle speaks of the law of his mind and then of another law in his members warring against the law of his mind. The converted man is a new man in Christ Jesus, but the old nature remains within him. Often the old nature appears to be uppermost, and yet, by the grace of God, it never can be.

Worship or Entertainment?

Dr Peter Masters


Where will your church be five or ten years from now? – asks the author. With the adoption of contemporary music worship many have already changed beyond recognition. Yet more will do so. Here are four essential principles which Jesus Christ laid down for worship, and by which every new idea must be judged.


Missionary Triumph over Slavery

Dr Peter Masters


We are told today that Christian missionaries of the past were tools of colonial oppression. The story of William Knibb shows how wildly wrong this is. Persecuted by British rulers in Jamaica because he opposed settlers’ abuses, he was pivotal in swinging public opinion behind legislation to end slavery.


God’s Love for Muslims

Ibrahim Ag Mohamed


This is an enlightening manual on reaching Muslims for Christ. Full of vital information, it is at the same time a real 'page turner'. Here is a wealth of counsel from a pastor with many years of experience preaching and broadcasting in a Muslim land. It will greatly equip readers for effective witness.


Baptism – the Picture and its Purpose

Dr Peter Masters


Baptism is not essential to salvation (how can it be, as it follows conversion?), yet it is very clearly required by the Lord. Here is the fourfold pictorial message of baptism intended by God for the believer, the church, and the world. And here also are the biblical reasons why baptism is for believers only, by immersion.
