2:11 “Wherefore remember that once you were the nations in the flesh, named “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision” in flesh made by hand. [Read more…]
28. Ephesians 2:1-10
As we enter the second chapter of Ephesians we become aware of the utter contrast between the sublimity of the believer’s stand, expressed in chapter one, and his prior condition in the world. This epistle is peculiarly full of the state of the heathen without God. [Read more…]
27. Ephesians 1:15-23
This edition is a continuation to Wellspring 25, and contains the first of Paul’s great prayers in Ephesians, the other one being in chapter 3. [Read more…]
25. Paul to the “Ephesians”
An in-depth study of its beauty and significance
Part 1. Eph.1:1-14
The Background
The Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians whilst staying in his “own hired house” in Rome, during the two years in which he was under duress by Caesar. [Read more…]
14. The Millennium
Frequently these days I receive papers, or read articles, which fight shy of accepting the thousand-year reign of Christ, as stated in Revelation 20. It is as though a new consensus of opinion is gaining ground amongst evangelicals and charismatics, whereby it is now in vogue to spiritualise the words of Rev.20, so that the “thousand years” can mean any length of time, as long as it’s not 1,000 years. In this article I wish to give my reasons for maintaining a belief in a literal Millennium. [Read more…]

A Hidden Mystery within Aaron’s Breastplate
In Exodus 28 the Lord gave specific instructions to Moses concerning the sons of Aaron, and in particular the form of apparel he was to wear. Our present investigation centres on just two of the items mentioned in the chapter, namely the shoulder-pieces, and the breastplate. These are the relevant passages. [Read more…]
91. The Kindly Laws of the Old Testament
In this third and last paper on the subject of God’s Laws, we have been warmed and instructed by a small booklet having the above title, written by Thomas Cameron. (Lutterworth Press, 1945) I should like to use his thesis, with a few additions, in this article. [Read more…]
90. Food, glorious Food!
In the last number I wrote in general about the moral law of the Old Testament. In this paper I should like to address the subject of Food, simply because it was an important issue to the Hebrews under Moses, and persists today in what the Jews call Kosher foods, those allowed under Mosaic legislation, and checked by local Rabbis. In a word, does any of this apply to Christians? Let’s investigate. [Read more…]
85. Filling up that which is lacking
“The hope of the Gospel . . . whereof I Paul am made a minister, who now rejoices in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for the sake of His Body, the Church.” (Colossians 1:23-24) [Read more…]
74. The Last Generation
The workings of the human mind are strange and wonderful. But it is a good thing to be aware of just how it works. For example, take the adverts which blast out of the TV screen every quarter of an hour. You imagine that you’re above that sort of thing, and will make up your own mind about which brand, which product, you will purchase. But wait until you see a shelf full of different brands of the same product, and wonder which to choose. A familiar name seems ‘safer’, ‘more reliable’, simply because you’ve seen it on TV so often. Without realising it, you have fallen for the manufacturer’s advertising. If the trick didn’t work, advertisers would try some other method. But it does work, and their shareholders know it!
