“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” (1 Timothy 3:14-15) “Sanctify them through thy…

“Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.” (John 7:13) What a thought! In its context, it wasn’t that nobody at all was speaking about Jesus, for the enemies of our Lord were open in their opinions and their blasphemies against Him. The ones who were not speaking openly (or, boldly)…
