Acts 19:11 NASB95 God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, Christianity has nothing to do with our ability.

The fullness of Christ enjoyed and manifested includes both His holiness reigning in us and His ministry released […]

1 Corinthians 12:12, “For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, or one body, so also is Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:27, “Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it.” Ephesians 5:29-30 KJV For no man ever yet hates

Romans 15:13 AMPC  May the God of your hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing what He believes, that in the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope. Because of our union with Christ, the God of hope lives in us in the power

Everything about the Christian life and how to live the Christian life is wrapped up in those two words “in Christ.” In 2 Corinthians 12:2, Paul, referring to

I write this devotional in honor of a distant mentor, A. J. Gordon. In 1799, the Rosetta Stone was discovered, and it helped scholars at long last crack the code of hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptian writing system.
