 G. Campbell Morgan (1863 - 1945)
Read freely text sermons and articles by the speaker G. Campbell Morgan in text and pdf format. Was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943.
In 1896 D. L. Moody invited him to lecture to the students at the Moody Bible Institute. This was the first of his 54 crossings of the Atlantic to preach and teach. After the death of Moody in 1899 Morgan assumed the position of director of the Northfield Bible Conference. He was ordained by the Congregationalists in London, and given a Doctor of Divinity degree by the Chicago Theological Seminary in 1902.[1] After five successful years in this capacity, he returned to England in 1904 and became pastor of Westminster Chapel in London. During two years of this ministry he was President of Cheshunt College in Cambridge.[2] His preaching and weekly Friday night Bible classes were attended by thousands. In 1910 Morgan contributed an essay entitled The Purposes of the Incarnation to the first volume of The Fundamentals, 90 essays which are widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Fundamentalist movement. Leaving Westminster Chapel in 1919, he once again returned to the United States, where he conducted an itinerant preaching/teaching ministry for 14 years. Finally, in 1933, he returned to England, where he again became pastor of Westminster Chapel and remained there until his retirement in 1943. He was instrumental in bringing Martyn Lloyd-Jones to Westminster in 1939 to share the pulpit and become his successor. Morgan was a friend of F. B. Meyer, Charles Spurgeon, and many other great preachers of his day.

Cross: Pardon By The Cross

Cross: Peace By The Cross

Fragrance of the Rose of Sharon
Holiness does not need to be talked about; it talks. You remember Emerson's wordsI do not quote the pisissima verba, but the spirit of what he said"I cannot hear what you say for listening to what you are." I repeat, holiness does not need to be talk ... read more
FROM CREATION TO CHRIST

FROM THE FALL TO THE MESSIAH
BY an act of willful rebellion man distanced himself from God, and was alienated from the life of God. The grace of the Divine heart immediately announced a reconciliation. No sooner was sin committed than there was declared the purpose of grace and love, ... read more
Gathering Or Scattering
We are living in a day that is known as the day of toleration. We have ceased very largely to desire to force our own particular views upon other people save by the methods of persuasion. Torture and excommunication are things of the past. And I believe ... read more

Health of Spirit
Holiness is simply another word for health, both being derived from the old Anglo-Saxon word halig, meaning whole and complete. It would be perfectly correct to speak of a holy body and a healthy spirit, but we have come to speak of bodily holiness as h ... read more
Holiness and Righteousness
These two words, holiness and righteousness, mark two aspects of one condition. Holiness has to do with character; righteousness with conduct. They cannot possibly be separated from each other. They are as 'intimately related as are root and fruit. There ... read more
Holiness is a life of usefulness
The unalterable and unchanging purpose of God is the accomplishment of His purposes through His people. That is rendered possible through holiness of character. Cleansed vessels are the vessels that Jehovah makes use of. "Be ye clean ye that bear the ves ... read more

Holiness: It's Fruit
THE WORDS, "he is" , WHICH APPEAR IN OUR BIBLES ARE supplied, and do not exist in the actual text. Our revisers have suggested an alternative reading, "there is a new creation." I venture to adopt that partially, omitting the words "there is," and r ... read more
Holiness: It's Fruit
Holiness results in the passing of all the distinctive excellencies of Christianity from the realm of theory into that of experience. The ideal which we have seen and admired will become the real in actual life, in the measure in which we are holy in char ... read more
Holiness: It's Hindrances
THIS IS AN OUTBURST OF APPEAL IN THE MIDST OF AN ARGUMENT, and incidentally reveals a failure which has many other causes and manifestations than those with which this particular letter deals. The causes in this case were Judaizing teachers. The manifesta ... read more
Idols and the Lost Vision of God
"...he brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made:...and he called it Nehushtan (a piece of brass)"

Martyrs are Witnesses
We have come to use the word of such as seal their testimony with their blood. It is a beautiful word for such. When we speak of the "noble army of martyrs," who through flame and fire, through blood and suffering, proved their loyalty to Christ, let us r ... read more

Pitching Toward Sodom

Post-Resurrection Appearing

Preaching With Passion
In the true sermon there must always be passion. Our Lords testimony concerning John, His forerunner, was this: "He was a burning and a shining light" (John 5:35). It is one thing to shine; it is quite another to burn as well.

Progressive Growth
Whenever a new vision is presented to the trusting soul a new crisis is created for that soul, and the soul will either obey and march into larger life, or disobey and turn backward. The man or woman who has the largest, fullest knowledge of Christ is the ... read more

Redemption through the Blood
Ever day I need the Cross more . . . Every day I live this Christian life I am more and more conscious that I cannot understand the mystery of all Jesus did; yet more and more conscious that by the way of that Cross, and that Cross alone, my wounded hear ... read more
RESIST NOT, GRIEVE NOT, QUENCH NOT

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
DURING recent years two movements have been noticeable in the thought of men outside the Christian Church. First there has been the development of materialism. The teachings of Darwin, Huxley, Tyndall, and Spencer have tended to the denial of the spirit ... read more
THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT
IN dealing with these matters of the Spirit, it is wise to keep, as far as possible, to the terms of the New Testament; and it would be an enormous gain if they were used only as they are used in Scripture. The term the baptism of the Spirit has been ve ... read more
THE CHARACTER OF THE SPIRIT
THE teaching of Christ concerning the character of the Spirit is set forth first in the words: And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter. This word Comforter conveys the first thought concerning the character of the Spirit. It ... read more
