 “The old, old story is ever new, tell me more about Jesus.”

For hundreds of years’ men have been talking about Him, and the story of His life has been proclaimed in thousands of pulpits, and repeated in millions of homes; yet it is not worn out. It is as fresh and new as when first told, not only because man’s needs are the same now as then, and because

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:1).

Our aversion to the truth of Minneapolis [where the 1888 message was proclaimed] is not lessened with the passing of time. In 1987 George R. Knight authored From 1888 to Apostasy: The Case of A. T. Jones. This was his first of several books about 1888. He states in the preface that his primary purpose is “to develop Jones’s biography.” However some book reviews published in 1988 seriously question this purpose. One reviewer says: “He [Knight] is being totally irresponsible as a biographer.

HOW often we read with reference to something pertaining to the Bible and religion, “Dr. –— thinks that this is,” etc., and what the Doctor thinks is then by many considered as final, until he “thinks” again, or until somebody else “thinks” something else.

ARE you in trouble? Have you been sorely afflicted?

Of course you say, Yes; for “man who is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble” (Job 14:1).

But there is a still more important question. It is, “Are you comforted in your affliction?" "Do you have peace in the midst of your trouble?”

“There is but one thing in this world that a man needs and that is justification—and justification is a fact, not a theory. It is the gospel. That which does not tend to righteousness is of no avail, and not worthy to be preached. Righteousness can only be attained through faith; consequently all things worthy to be preached must tend to justification by faith.”
