Hezekiah was a good and godly king of Judah, yet once he made a serious mistake. He opened his palace to the emissaries of the king of Babylon. [2 Kings 20:15]. He showed them all his treasures and, doubtless, was happy to show his God-given prosperity. But Isaiah came and told him [...]
The modernist says no, but Jesus said to His disciples, “I go to prepare a place for you” [John 14:3]. Heaven is a place prepared for God’s people. Heaven is a place prepared by God.

You Need To Be Saved “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” [John 3:3]. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” [Romans 3:23]. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” [Hebrews 9:27]. “Every one of us shall [...]
The Toronto church held its annual general meeting on May 1st. Reports from the various departments were given and showed that the church and school are in good shape.

The Bible is like a magnificent palace constructed of precious oriental stone, comprising sixty-six stately rooms. Each one is different from its fellows, and is perfect in its individual beauty, while together they form a building incomparably majestic, glorious and sublime.
