It has been our increasing conviction that as this "present evil age" draws to a close, it is of the utmost importance that the "church which is His body" devote its full attention to the two-fold commission for the "dispensation of the grace of God." We are referring, of course, to God's two great desires as revealed to and through the Apostle Paul.

The First desire is expressed in 1 Timothy 2:3, 4, "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior: Who will have all men to be saved..." In the light of this and other passages, it is our practice to present the gospel at each Sunday service. Who knows whether that visitor, of even a regular attendee, has truly put his or her faith in the simple message that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4)?

Then in Ephesians 3:9, we learn that it is also God's will "to make all men see what is the fellowship (Gk - Dispensation) of the Mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. To this end it has become our practice to also include in our services some reference to the wonderful secret of grace which was committed to the Apostle Paul, especially if the sermon text does not specifically deal with dispensational truth. From these two to five minute "sermonettes", we have derived the current set of articles entitled, "Gems of Grace Truth."
