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.

Articles
Does the Lord Really Guide?
Dr Peter Masters
The great decline of the quality of Bible teaching in the last few decades has brought with it the rejection of this precious and fundamental principle – that God has a specific plan and purpose for the life of each of his children, and that they should seek his direction in all the great issues of life.
The Dissolving of Doubts
Dr Peter Masters
‘These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe…’ (1 John 5.13). This verse is written for those who doubt whether they have been forgiven and saved by God, and struggle with assurance.
The Cup of Blessing
Dr Peter Masters
Why is it called the cup of blessing? It is the cup so well spoken of, so praised, and so esteemed, because it pictures the source of all our blessings. So much is represented in that cup: the atoning substitutionary death of Christ for our sin; his indescribable suffering bearing the eternal weight of punishment that we deserved.
Against Hastening to Remove from our Post of Duty
C H Spurgeon
Do we shy away from Christian service? As the Lord's workers we should desire to glorify Him. Christian service is not about selecting the comfortable positions and the hopeful fields; it is best to make no selection, but to yield our own will to the will of God altogether.

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.
The Personal Spiritual Life
Dr Peter Masters
From the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to a life of commitment these chapters stir and encourage readers to advance spiritually. How may we ‘feel’ the presence of the Lord? What was Paul’s method for progress in holiness? And how may we sustain spiritual joy? These are among the themes of this tonic for present-day disciples of Christ.
Wonders of Grace
Hannah Wyncoll - Compiler

Earth’s Morning
Dr Peter Masters
Few things are so surrounded by ignorance and misunderstanding as the remarkable biblical account of the Garden of Eden. In this booklet the meaning and application of Eden is movingly unfolded for the help of those enquiring into faith. The author seeks to bring out the uncanny accuracy of this alleged ‘fairy tale’.
