Pondering the Lord’s Prayer

“Let us strive to make the Lord’s Prayer our model and pattern in all our approaches to God. Let it suggest to us the sort of things which we should pray for and pray against.

Assurance in the Hour of Death

The strong consolation which assurance can give in the hour of death is a point of great importance. We may depend on it, we shall never think assurance so precious as when our turn comes to die.

Testing Your Conversion With Humility

Would we know whether we are really converted? Would we know the test by which we must try ourselves? The surest mark of true conversion is humility.

The Cross of Doctrine and Practice

Salvation is undoubtedly all of grace. It is offered freely in the Gospel to the chief of sinners, without money and without price. 

The Reality of Suffering on the Cross

What was a crucifixion? Let us try to realize it, and understand its misery. 

5 Essential Doctrines to Believe In

1. The Absolute Supremacy of Holy Scripture

Show us anything, plainly written, in that Book, we will receive it, believe it, and submit to it. Show us anything contrary to that Book, and however sophisticated, plausible, beautiful and apparently desirable, we will not have it at any price.

Content in the Holy Spirit, Not Feelings

Feelings, no doubt, fill a most important office in our personal Christianity. Without them there can be no saving religion. Hope, joy, peace, confidence, resignation, love and fear, are things which must be felt, if they really exist.

The Important Doctrine of Christ Crucified

“There is no doctrine in Christianity so important as the doctrine of Christ crucified. There is none which the devil tries so hard to destroy.

Do Not Tolerate False Teaching

If we would hold fast that which is good, we must never tolerate or support any doctrine which is not the pure doctrine of Christ’s Gospel.

The Mighty Truth of Christ’s Cross

Let us set fully before our eyes the doctrine of Christ dying in our place – His substituted death, and rest our souls on it. Let us hold on firmly to the mighty truth, that Christ on the cross:

The World is Watching the Christian

Let us often ask ourselves whether we are doing good or harm in the world. We cannot live to ourselves, if we are Christians.

Unity in the Cross of Christ

Does a man really and sincerely boast in the cross of Christ? That is the grand question. If he does, he is my brother – we are traveling on the same road; we are journeying towards a home where Christ is all, and everything outward in religion will be forgotten.

Three Essentials in a True Christian

“There are three things which, according to the Bible, are absolutely necessary to the salvation of every man and woman in Christendom.

True Conversion Always Shows Fruit

I admit fully that the manner of the Spirit’s working is invisible. It is like the wind. It is like the attractive power of the magnet.

We Must Feed on Christ Crucified

Let us never doubt for a moment, that the preaching of Christ crucified – the old story of His blood, righteousness, and substitution – is enough for all the spiritual necessities of all mankind.

Expecting the Trials of Life

Trials, we must distinctly understand, are a part of the diet which all true Christians must expect. It is one of the means by which their grace is proved, and by which they find out what there is in themselves.

Christ Will Return By Surprise!

I do not know when Christ will come again. I would think it most presumptuous if I said that I did. I am no prophet, though I love the subject of prophecy.

Humbly Reading Your Bible

He that desires to read his Bible with profit, must first ask the Lord Jesus to open the eyes of his understanding by the Holy Spirit.

Never Forget Your Debt to Christ

“Cling to Christ,  I say, and never forget your debt to Him. Sinners you were, when you were first called by the Holy Ghost, and fled to Jesus.

The Great Privilege of God’s Election

Listen not for a moment to those who tell you that in this life we can never be sure of our own spiritual state, and must always be in doubt. The Roman Catholics say so.

Don’t Be Selfish…Share Christ

Let us not only think of ourselves. Let us also think of others. There are millions in the world who have no spiritual light at all. They are without God, without Christ, and without hope. (Eph. 2:12) Can we do nothing for them?

Do Not Neglect the Cross of Christ

I declare I know no greater proof of a person’s depravity than the fact that thousands of so-called Christians see nothing lovely in the cross.

The Intercession of Christ For You

Would you know the secret of daily comfort in all the toil, and business, and distractions we have to go through? We all know that they who have to do work in any secular calling, find the work oftentimes a sore burden to their souls.
