Prayer as a Means of Grace
We read these words, "For behold, he prayeth," of Saul of Tarsus, immediately after the account of how, when he was journeying from Jerusalem to Damascus on his persecuting errand, he was smitten to the ground by the Divine hand and raised again by those gracious words -- how gracious, how inexplicably gracious they must have' seemed to him! -- which promised him service for the very One whom he was now persecuting.

Joint heirs with Christ.
~ Romans 8:17
The boundless realms of his Father's universe are Christ's by prescriptive right. As "heir of all things," he is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and he has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heir-ship which the Lord hath ratified with his chosen people.
GOSPEL STUDY: The true vine.
Fifth Sunday of Easter, 5/6/12
Prepared by Achile Bourquin
In this week's Gospel lectionary, John 15:1-8, Jesus speaks of Himself as the true vine, and of His Father as the vine dresser who prunes the branches. Scripture quotations are taken from the New American Standard Bible.
Equipping the Saints
Every Christian deserves to know that this promise is for him. The doctrines of TULIP are the only logical, Biblical explanation of how lost sinners become eternally secure saints.
These devotions are not meant to be read at one sitting, which will explain the many redundancies you will find.
Here are some of the web sites, blogs and other resources that we like. Please feel free to suggest others.
We want to help equip the saints with the sound doctrines of our Christian faith. We have grants available for seminary students, pastors and congregations committed to the essentials tenets of God's grace.
