A Message for the Hour by T. Austin-Sparks The Vital Importance of Spiritual Vision “Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint” Proverbs 29:18. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6.

Reading: Mark 10:35-39; Matthew 26:27, 28, 39, 42; Luke 22:20; John 18:11; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:26 I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But, I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! (Luke 12:49, 50 NIV) Read these […]
