We see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honour.
Hebrews 2:9
We continue to send our monthly mailing with the simple desire that the material sent would be a help and encouragement to all.

This, as Scripture shows, will go on increasing. But in the midst of all the ruin, God’s truth abides, and God will bless those who walk according to it, and enable them in dependence upon Himself ‘to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace’ (Eph. 4:3). We cannot keep the ‘unity of the body’, as it is sometimes ill-expressed. The idea is unintelligent. The body exists, and there is but one. But we have to show our hearty subjection to the Holy Spirit’s operations and order, so that there may be nothing in our words and ways to clash with it. The ‘unity of the Spirit’ cannot be kept where He is practically ignored, the lordship of Christ forgotten and the Word of God disobeyed.
The enemy is ever ready with apologies and excuses for disobedience, but it is only by implicit obedience that we can walk in the steps of Him Who said, ‘Lo, I come to do thy will, O God’ (Psalm 40:7). Strong-willed men have rent the church to pieces by their doctrines, ‘drawing away disciples after them’ (Acts 20:29, 30; Rom 16:17-19). But ‘God and the word of his grace’ abide for those who have ears to hear, and hearts to obey.
