For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Rom. 5:19 I think possibly one of the devil’s most cunning tricks, is to make us think, “Nobody else is doing it; what difference does my obedience make?” Our...
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1 Cor. 1:10 KJV Corinth was...
If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he...
