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.

Christ Revealed in the Heart
"/>To prove that his Gospel was not a human product, Paul points to his Jewish training and zealotry. He did not comprehend the gospel until Christ was revealed in him. Here is the meaning, and how Christ should be seen by us daily.

The Unstable Peace of Life
"/>Surely nothing is more tragic than to believe life is peaceful and secure without God, only to discover one day that one faces eternal disaster. Here is the false peace that imprisons us in this material world and keeps us from seeking and finding the Lord.

Articles
Regeneration and Gospel Persuasion
Dr Peter Masters
It is the will of God that people will be consciously awakened and convicted to experience a sincere desire for God’s mercy and a change of thinking. They must see their need, and what Christ has done, and come (as the old confessions say) most freely and willingly to Jesus Christ.
How We Treat the Holy Spirit Within
Dr Peter Masters
The personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer is such an amazing privilege that the mind never wholly grasps it. A daily succession of joys, temptations and trials produces various reactions in us, often without stirring our awareness that God is in residence, and will be pleased or grieved by what we think, say or do.
Antidotes to Backsliding
Dr Peter Masters
Every believer in Christ wants to know the biblical antidotes to backsliding, and this passage in Hebrews 3 is the inspired guide to many of them. Of course, the primary purpose of the passage is to warn unconverted people about the consequences of unbelief, but the points that are made apply also to believers, and this will be our concern in this article.
Comfort for Tried Believers
C H Spurgeon
Are you troubled, and are you inclined to despair? Take counsel; these storms are not beyond what believers in Jesus can bear. Is not the Lord himself with you as your captain, and is not the Holy Ghost with you as your guide, and have you not a faithful God to trust to in the stormiest night you may ever know?

Paul’s Ten Point Design for Church Health and Growth
Dr Peter Masters
What are our aims for the shaping and growth of our church? Do we have an agenda of objectives? The apostle Paul had a very definite purpose, using a Greek word which means 'a plan or strategy visibly displayed'. Here are ten policies, gleaned from Paul's teaching, all of which are essential for the health and growth of a church.
Steps for Guidance
Dr Peter Masters
Recently the subject of discerning God’s guidance has become controversial. Some say that God has no plan for us, allowing us to please ourselves. Others say God’s will is known by dreams or visions. By contrast, this book presents the scriptural view that Christians must seek God’s will in all major life decisions, such as career, marriage and church.
Sacrifice
Howard Guinness
How much we need the challenging call of Howard Guinness’ Sacrifice! Only this level of commitment will take us through life’s journey used by God, and rejoicing in his power and love. Dr Guinness himself lived the message of this book, and a multitude of readers have caught it from him. May we do so also, to God's glory.
The Goal of Brotherly Love
Dr Peter Masters
Brotherly love is something far higher and deeper than church rambles and other organised friendship activities, useful as these may be. The great goal is 'philadelphia' love, a New Testament term indicating 'a depth and tenacity of love equal to the love of a blood tie.' Why is such a strong term used?
