The Breach

We hoped that time would heal the breach, and lead him to see the futility and wickedness of reviling, but he has been encouraged in his course by a few who took no pains to inquire into the facts, and some who are eager to use any and every means of harming us, no matter how contrary to the Scriptures.

We take it as from the Lord, even though it comes through the adversary, and thank God for it, and look to Him to transmute it into good. Nevertheless we are heartily ashamed and humbled by it. No such wickedness should be known among those who revel in God’s transcendent grace.

We are well aware that this is a device of the adversary to engage us in useless and harmful controversy, and so hinder the work … We need every ounce of strength and minute of time in constructive work for all the saints, and refuse to be diverted.

This statement is final. We have tried to make it as gracious as possible and yet fulfill our duty. It is intended to help, not to harm. So kindly refrain from writing to me about it, and spare us the pain of refusing to reply.

We exhort our fellow saints not to countenance reviling, no matter how just or fair the reviler’s case may appear to be. This is God’s remedy, and the only one. It is so shameful in His eyes that we should mark everyone who indulges in it and avoid them for their own sake, and for the honor and glory of His Name.

True Worship

When people talk of worshiping in some building on earth, and think of a ritualistic service as worship, and talk of worshiping God in music, it simply shows that they do not understand what is involved in the rending of the veil

The worship that is acceptable to God is the music that rises up to Him as His Spirit touches the heart-strings of His redeemed people and we bow before Him, the Holiest of All, singing and making melody in our hearts unto the Lord.

That is the place where we should be abiding in spirit constantly. In every moment of the believer’s life, he is sitting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The place of our abiding is inside the veil, in the immediate presence of God with nothing between. All that once shut God in and shut man out has been removed in the death of Christ.

Spoken Since the Beginning of Time

The Heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19:1).

Since the beginning of time, people have looked up at the night sky and been amazed by what they see. If you step outside on a clear night, you’ll see just a tiny part of the Universe – and even that little bit is enough to leave you in awe.

Scripture tells us that the Heavens are not silent. They speak, without words, about God’s glory. Psalm 19:1-3 says,

The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the sky above shows His handiwork. Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

You don’t need to speak any particular language to understand the message of creation; it’s universal. The stars, planets, oceans, mountains and all of life on earth quietly announce that there is a Creator.

Omnipotent Moral Busybodies

“Theocracy” is the worst of all governments.

If we must have a tyrant, a robber baron is far better than an inquisitor. The baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep … but the inquisitor who mistakes his own cruelty and lust of power and fear for the voice of Heaven will torment us infinitely, because he torments us with the approval of his own conscience and his better impulses appear to him as temptations. And since Theocracy is the worst, the nearer any government approaches to Theocracy the worse it will be.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Robbed of God’s Jewels

That in all He may be becoming first, seeing that the entire complement delights to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all to Him … (Colossians 1:18-20).

It is because Christ is God’s Complement that “all” will be reconciled. If He does not reconcile “all,” that “all” will not be complete, and He is not God’s Complement.

The full force of “complement” or “fullness” is denied by nearly every saint who bears His name. Only a tiny remnant dares to acknowledge Him as God’s Complement. All of the rest have been robbed of a jewel of far more value than any gem in any diadem of any potentate of Earth.

All Power Comes from One Source

Satan is described in the Bible as “the god of this age” (II Corinthians 4:4). But don’t be fooled – Satan has only the power that God decreed

He is not a rival to God. He is a created being, with a divinely predetermined role to play in God’s plan.

There are spiritual powers, rulers and authorities – but they all come from God. They are not equal to Him. They are not outside of His design and control. All power, all authority, and all creation come from one ultimate Source: God the Father.

Not Accidents – Intentions

God didn’t toss animals into the world as background props. He handcrafted each one. Gave them instincts. Personalities. Quirks.

From the sea turtle’s homing sense to the ox’s quiet strength to the way a puppy melts in your arms – this is intentional design. And dogs and cats? They were made to come close.

They were made not just for survival, but for delight.

Why does your dog spin in circles when you come home?

Why does your cat nuzzle your cheek with her head?

Why does it feel like your pet knows when something’s wrong?

Because they weren’t just made for ecosystems or food chains. They were made for you.

God and His Son Glorified

Man-made theological attempts to exalt Christ beyond what is specifically revealed in Scripture result in a radical demeaning of the value of His obedience and accomplishments on our behalf. Man, however sincerely, cannot add to Jesus’ greatness by making Him something that Scripture does not. In fact, any attempt to do so significantly subtracts from the greatness of the biblical message.

When we let the Word of God speak for itself and allow every piece of the puzzle to fit together without squeezing it to fit our own traditions or preconceived notions, both God and His Son are glorified, reason is satisfied.

Not Just Representative: Fully One of Us

A representative can act on our behalf without fully sharing our experience.

But a Champion must face the same trials, play by the same rules, and win within the same limits as the rest of the team.

This is why it’s so vital to understand that Christ had to be fully human – sharing in our nature in every respect – in order to be our true Champion. The victory had to be won from within humanity, not imposed from outside by a celestial visitor.

The Joy of Shared Triumph

Since, then, the little children have participated in blood and flesh, He also was very nigh by partaking of the same, that, through death, He should be discarding him who has the might of death, that is, the Adversary, and should be clearing those whoever, in fear of death, were through their entire life liable to slavery (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Notice the language – He “partook of the same things.” He didn’t “visit” humanity; He was part of it. And in doing so, He won the decisive victory over death, sin and Satan. That victory belongs to Him – and to us in Him.

The Best Is Yet to Come

Those whom God is calling now – those the world thinks are insignificant – are being trained to rule the Universe with Christ

That’s right. You are part of a plan so grand that it makes today’s power structures look like dust. God is preparing you to reign with Him in the ages to come.

So, the next time you feel small, left out, or unnoticed – remember this: you’re exactly the kind of person God is getting ready for His ultimate purpose. While the “great ones” of today are quietly being moved offstage, He’s preparing you to step into something far greater.

So, stay the course. Keep your head up and your heart steady. The best is yet to come.

Rounding Out the Universe

And gives Him the Headship over the whole Ecclesia which is His Body, the complement which is culminating the Universe, in all parts (Ephesians 1:22-23).

In the heavenly Headship we, the members of His Body, will administer the stellar Universe because we too, in Him, are “christs.” God has anointed us (II Corinthians 1:21) and He will administer the Universe through us who believe. We, as this verse puts it, are the complement that rounds out the universe.

We Know Something Bigger

We know that every single chapter of our story is written by a Father Who is good, wise and loving; that even when things feel unfair or unjust, He is working it all out for good; that He hasn’t forgotten us or left us. He’s not pacing heaven, nervously wringing His hands. He’s in charge. That’s freedom.

Not the kind that depends on perfect circumstances. Not the kind that waits for governments to change.

But the kind that anchors your soul in unshakable love. So yes, even in the midst of tyranny, we are free.

Free to trust. Free to rest. Free to stop judging and start loving.

Free to be full of joy, even when the world around us is full of chaos.

Because freedom isn’t a place. It’s a Person.

And He lives in us.
