I believe it will be twenty-five years now, if not more, since I began to pray to God, and yet my temptations are terrible. Yet I cannot say that I am in despair, for I know that my Redeemer liveth, and I will see Him. My trials from the adversary are awful. It may be when I am on my knees praying to God that he will come to me as sudden as a gunsh…

The last of two closing sermons guided by Westminster Shorter Catechism 4: "What is God?" Focus on the first part of the answer from John 4:24, "God is Spirit" with its application that they that worship Him must therefore worship Him in spirit and in truth.Von Grant Van Leuven

God is a god of Glory as heard in His voice thundering over the many waves upon which He sits. Glorify Your Glorious God!Von Grant Van Leuven

Von Jared Poulton

We have first the THEN of promise and threatening repeated several times. The children of Israel were not to make any graven images, nor to set up any images made by others, nor to bow to those already set up, but to keep clear of idolatry in every shape, and worship only their great invisible God, Jehovah, whose Sabbaths they were tokeep, and whos…

Another very serious matter concerns the amusements of professing Christians. I see it publicly stated, by men who call themselves Christians, that it would be advisable for Christians to frequent the theatre, that the character of the drama might be raised. The suggestion is about as sensible as if we were bidden to pour a bottleof lavender water …

Taught in a church 100 miles from the Red River Meeting House where the revival took place.Von Thomas Sullivan

Men walk and talk as if the world were all, when comparatively it is nothing. And when men come with their warmed affections, reeking with thoughts of these things, unto the performance of or attendance unto any spiritual duty, it is very difficult for them, if not impossible, to stir up any grace unto a due and vigorous exercise. Unless this plaus…

Coming up on 40 years of narrating, and feeling like I am just getting started.Von Thomas Sullivan

If any believer should chance to live where the prayer-meeting is neglected, let him now resolve to revive it. Let us make a solemn league and covenant that the churches shall pray, or that it shall not be our fault if they do not. To strengthen a prayer-meeting, is as good a work as to preach a sermon. I would have you vow that the prayer meeting …

The word door is here properly put to signify those introductive faculties of the soul, which are of a like use to it, as the door is to the house. This is the Redeemer's posture, his action is knocking, i.e. his‡ powerful essayand gracious attempts to open the heart to give him admission. The word knock signifies a strong and powerful knock; he st…

There are some of you who cannot do anything in the way of preaching; I do not want that you should try, and there are other agencies to which you could not put your hand; to you especially I may say, "there are some of you who cannot do anything in the way ofpreaching; I do not want that you should try, and there are otheragencies to which you cou…

I have known some professing Christians who seemed to be trying to see how long they could live without eating spiritually. Prayer is neglected, the reading of the Scriptures is forgotten, attendance upon the means of grace is very much slackened; and as for coming out toa week-night service, that is given up altogether. If they are not quite going…

As to the treatise itself, thou wilt find it a persuasive to open thy heart to Christ. Thy soul, reader, is a magnificent structure built by Christ; such stately rooms as thy understanding, will, conscience and affections, aretoo good for any other to inhabit.Von John Flavel

Long and sore have we been tossed in the sea of trouble; in our youth we were plunged into it, we are come out of it in old age; our case has been the same with what happened at the siege of Tyre, Ezek. 29:18. Every head is made bald, and every shoulder is peeled; but yet all these things seem troublesome rather than wonderful, to any one who serio…

God in Who is in the midst of His people rejoices to save and stay with them unto eternity. God Will Sing a Joyful Reunion Song of Salvation Over You.Von Grant Van Leuven

Does not your heart often grow heavy as you remember that, in this city of London, there are vast masses of people who never go to hear the Word of God at all? In some parts of the metropolis, you might go through street after street, and scarcely find a Christian family, or you might find large families without a single member attending the means …

Because God is who He is and because man is the work of His hands, the will of God must be the foundation of moral obligation. "All things were created by him, and for him" (Col. 1:16). "Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" (Rev. 4:11). But God is not only our Creator. He is also our Ruler and Governor, and …

Written during the Great Plague of LondonVon Matthew Mead

It is not a breaking forth of some inward distemper, which is our sicknesses itself, but it is rather the effect of it. The discernable spots on the infected, are not the plague—but the signs of the plague. In this way are we to account the most grievous things that come on us—as the manifestations and fruits of something worse within us…

I know of nothing in which I could hold up Pilate as an example to you, save in this one thing; he placed the Name of Jesus on the cross. Writing these words with his own hand, he refused to alter them: "Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews" must stand over the cross, whether the high priests rage or submit. The vacillating governor foronce stuck…

Von C. H. Spurgeon

Sermon Preached in Australia in 1927Now very likely, the sermon tonight will make some of my hearers angry: probably they are the ones who most need the rebuke of the text. When a servant of God wields the sword of the Spirit, if he does his work faithfully and effectively, then some of his hearers are bound to get cut and wounded: and, my friends,…

How dreadful it must have been to have lived in Paris when all the foundations of society were loosed; when religion was debased into the worship of the goddess of reason; when virtue was regarded as vice, and vice as virtue! Ere it comes to that dreadful pass, be it oursto cry out unto the Lord, "It is time for Thee to work."…

The prophet was led to feel his own uncleanness, and the uncleanness of those among whom he dwelt. When was that? For it is important for us to feel the same conviction,and we may do so by the same means. Was it when he had been looking into his own heart, and seeing its dire deceitfulness, and the black streams of actual transgression which welled…

The "evangelism" of the day is not only superficial to the last degree—but it is radically defective! It is utterly lacking a foundation on which to base an appeal for sinners to come to Christ. There is not only a lamentable lack of proportion (the mercy of God being made far more prominent than His holiness, His love than His wrath)—but there is …

Thirty years ago or more, John Angell James said, "Infidelity was never more subtle, more hurtful, more plausible, perhaps more successful, than in the day in which we live. It has left the low grounds of vulgarity, and coarseness, and ribaldry, and entrenched itself upon the lofty heights of criticism, philology, and even scienceitself.…

Von A. W. Pink

To me, the most overwhelming thoughts do not come to my heart from my own personal sin, for I know it is forgiven, nor from worldly trouble, for I am persuaded that all things work for my good; but I am deeply distressed by the present condition of the Church of God. Men, who are called of God to care for His flock, are grievously bowed down when t…

Because God is orderly in His Church as in all things, so His people should be orderly in church worship, government, and all things in life. Keep Organizing Your Life to Maximize Living.Von Grant Van Leuven

Von A. W. Pink

Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek." We have a battle against sin, error, pride, self, and everything that is contrary to God and to His Christ; and in the Joshua-service many can be employed. As the Holy Spirit has given diversities of gifts, so are there varieties of agencies for battling for the truth. Every …

Young converts are prone to depend too much on joyful frames, and love high excitement in their devotional exercises; but their heavenly Father cures them of this folly, by leaving them for a season to walk in darkness and struggle with their own corruptions. When most sorely pressed and discouraged, however, He strengthens them with might in the i…

An Address at a Prayer Meeting For Sabbath SchoolsVon C. H. Spurgeon

Von Dr. Daniel Timmer

It is a sobering reality that many deceive their own souls,pronouncing peace over themselves when God has not done so. Scripture repeatedly warns us to examine ourselves carefully to avoid this deadly mistake. The great danger of self-deception is that it leads a person to bless themselves in direct opposition to God's judgment.The goal here is not…

The Mortification of Sin - Abridged and SimplifiedVon John Owen

The Mortification of Sin Abridged and Simplified, Chapter 12 Even the most spiritually mature believers—those who walk most closely with God—only have the faintest glimpse of His glory in this life. When God revealed His name to Moses, showing forth His covenantal grace and mercy (Exod. 34:5-6), He described it as merely seeing His "back," not His …
