Fighting the Devil
Jones, Sam » Fighting the Devil The preacher explained that by “them” was meant Silas and Timothy, co-workers with Paul, who were to follow and accompany him on his missionary tour, and said: I believe Saul of Tarsus was the greatest man in this world’s history.

God’s Grace Is Sufficient

Eternal Punishment, Or the Logic of Damnation
Eternal Punishment, Or the Logic of Damnation This is a wonderful old book we preachers take our texts from. In the book of Genesis we read of the creation of the world and the origin of man. God devotes one book to tell me of my origin, and the thousand chapters that follow tell me […]
Hold the Fort
Jones, Sam » Hold the Fort The charge that God brought against his ancient people was this – “My people doth not consider” (Isa. 1:3). The etymological definition of that word is “to look at a thing until you see it.” If we look at a landscape a glance will take in the main features – such […]
