Paul, in his letter to the Romans wrote, "At this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace". He had quoted Elijah's sad complaint:

"I am left alone, and they seek my life" (11:1-5). In fact there was a remnant of 7,000 who had not bowed the knee to Baal. Israel had sunk deeper and deeper into idol worship, but God knew it and made provision for a remnant to serve Him. Paul drew the analogy initially for the encouragement of his contemporaries. How much more is this lesson applicable today! None can deny that the faithful are but a tiny remnant, the rest, even many of those who profess to be Christians, have departed from scriptural truths to embrace the godless philosophies of men. It is therefore our aim this year to provide lessons for today in our series "Leadership in Remnant Times".

A litfie while ago a contributor made the observation that Needed Truth had published very few articles on the Holy Spirit in recent years. This is an important, and often inadequately understood aspect of the Trinity and we hope this year to offer a little help on some areas of the subject. Choosing words which are suitable in expressing the sublime truths of the Trinity needs much care, for in the final analysis the ultimate nature of Deity is outside the range of human thought. The words of Scripture alone can guide us in this exercise.
