Humility And Sin
"Sinners, of whom I am chief."-1 Tim.1:15
Humility is often identified with penitence and contrition. As a consequence, there appears to be no way of fostering humility but by keeping the soul occupied with its sin. We have learned, I think, that humil ... read more

I speak about that subjection to the spirit of the world
And how is it now that these three great manifestations of the spirit of the world are in the church? I do not even speak of the power of the flesh as seen in the terrible reign of drink and lust in the midst of our modern Christian civilization. But I do ... read more
If a revival is to come
the great deep will have to be broken up.
If a revival is to come, greater, deeper, broader than any that has yet been, one great part of its power will be in the conviction it will bring of the sin and shame of all the carnal ease, and comfort, and self-indulgence in which we have been living, w ... read more
If two agree

in our prayer for revival
we must test ourselves
Unless in our prayer for revival we are ready to test the church, and to test ourselves, by this touchstone, our prayer will be in vain. With Christ his not being of the world meant everything. He proved it by separating himself from its sin, by exposing ... read more

Judgment begins at the house of God

knowledge
is the most dangerous of enemies.
If we study Gods word carefully we shall be surprised to find how many things there are which it contrasts with knowing, and what danger there is in knowing without its leading to that which it was meant to produce.
Scripture contrasts knowing and bel ... read more
