The Writings of Jean Gibson. I Am a Christian, true or False Introduction As a child, I wondered about God. What did God expect of me? For what purpose was I put here on earth? Where could I find the answers? Those questions may seem surprising from a baptized and confirmed child, a church member, and a regular Sunday school attendee. I learned Bible stories, Bible verses, and statements from church creeds. Somehow this material never came together in my mind in an understandable way. Perhaps that was my fault. I suspect, however, that my teachers could not clearly communicate the essential teaching necessary for my soul’s eternal welfare. I needed to know the answers to my questions. Somehow my church failed me. This book has been written to give some answers to essential questions about our relationship with God. Everyone ought to learn the answers to these questions from the only reliable source, God Himself. These answers came from special revelation through the Bible. From the Bible, we learn what we could not otherwise know about God and His interactions with people. Each chapter in this small book addresses a major spiritual issue that is often unclear and confused in the minds of the general public. This confusion also exists, regrettably, in the minds of many church attendees, including some in Bible-teaching churches. Our Bible teachers, taken as a whole but with some exceptions, are not carefully clarifying vital spiritual truths. Each chapter deserves thoughtful, prayerful consideration. Whether or not you agree with every statement in the chapter, you ought to think about these issues and come to a clear, Biblical conviction about them. May the Holy Spirit guide you in this study because all of us need to be sure of our salvation. Remember this: You yourself must answer before God the question, “Am I a true, born-again Christian?” Your answer must be based on Biblical facts, not human hopes. It will determine your eternal destiny. Think this through carefully.

Scriptural Principles of Gathering OR Why I Meet Among Those Known as Brethren by Alfred P. Gibbs About this video: This subject was selected by those responsible for the convening of this conference, and was chosen for the purpose of helping young believers of the various assemblies of the Lord's people to a better understanding of assembly, or church truth. By "assembly truth" we mean, first, the scriptural warrant for the mode of gathering or assembling as believers; second, the Christian's position in that gathering; and third, the privileges and responsibilities of being so scripturally gathered.

Misc. Writings by Alfred P. Gibbs. Alfred P. Gibbs was born in Birmingham, England, in 1890 and was raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was led to a saving knowledge of Christ by his twin brother, Edwin. During World War I, Gibbs served as a military chaplain, preaching to soldiers in training camps. In 1919 he set off for Moody Bible School in Chicago, Illinois. There he soon became involved in an assembly-operated Rescue Mission. Gibbs worked alongside Harold Harper, T.B. Gilbert, James G. Humphrey, and other men destined to become well-known in assembly circles of ministry. Gibbs became close friends with George Landis, who at that time pastored a small denominational church. Alfred P. Gibbs never married. Like J. N. Darby, he lived out of a suitcase. Most of his writings were devoted to teaching young believers. He served part-time for many years with the then-Emmaus Bible School. In 1931 he published a songbook with music and words of his own composition. He also contributed several hymns to “Choice Hymns Of The Faith” and “Hymns of Worship and Remembrance.” One of his most memorable hymns was “A Thousand Thousand Thanksgivings” and “Sweet Is The Story.” Although an earnest preacher of the gospel, he was best known for his work with children. Gibbs was called home to glory through an automobile accident in 1967. Following the accident, an entire issue of Letters Of Interest was devoted to him. Reminiscences of him were written by several well-known brethren, including his brother Edwin, Bill McCartney, Elliot Van Ryn, T.B. Gilbert, Lester Wilson, William MacDonald, and Lloyd Walterick. A.P. Gibbs will be remembered as a great preacher of the gospel and a loving friend to all children he met in his entire lifetime. 1. The Lord’s Supper 2. The Preacher and His Preaching 3. Scriptural Principles of Gathering 4. Worship, The Christian’s Highest Occupation

From last night, 2/6/2023. I forgot to start the recording, so I missed the first few minutes of the reading.

John starts by discussing all the different names for Peter in the Bible. Then he starts on the book of 1st Peter.
