Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord

CONCERNING DELIVERANCE FROM SINNING
IN THIS PLACE I would say a plain word or two to those who understand the method of justification by faith which is in Christ Jesus, but whose trouble is that they cannot cease from sin. We can never be happy, restful, or spiritually healthy till we becom ... read more
Condition of Blessing
Bring ye all of the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to rec ... read more
Confession of Sin
My sermon this morning will have seven texts, and yet I pledge myself that there shall be but three different words in the whole of them; for it so happens that the seven texts are all alike, occurring in seven different portions of God's holy Word. I sha ... read more
Conquest to Victory
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. (Romans 16:20)

The Lord shall guide thee continually. (Isaiah 58:11)
What aileth thee? Hast thou lost thy way? Art thou entangled in a dark wood and canst thou not find thy paths? Stand still, and see the salvation of God. He knows the way, and He will direct thee in i ... read more
Continue in prayer
It is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcely open the Bible before we read, "Then began men to call upon the ... read more
Continue Upright
The prayer of the upright is his delight. (Proverbs 15:8)

Current Religious Perils (September, 1888)
THE following letter, which we find in a new volume of Joseph Cook's Lectures, so nearly represents our views that we cannot withhold it from our readers at this solemn crisis. There is a manifest bracing up and returning to the old faith among many bret ... read more
Dauntless Faith
I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. (Acts 18:10)

Day Is at Hand
And I will give him the morning star. (Revelation 2:28)

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God
In this SOLEMN CONFESSION, it is pleasing to observe that David plainly names his sin. He does not call it manslaughter, nor speak of it as an imprudence by which an unfortunate accident occurred to a worthy man, but he calls it by its true name, bloodgui ... read more
Desires of Righteous Granted
The desires of the righteous shall be granted. (Proverbs 10:24)

Jeremiah was young and ... read more

Divine Provision
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30)
Clothes are expensive, and poor believers may be led into anxiety as ... read more

Do as thou hast said
God's promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; He intended that they should be used. God's gold is not miser's money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see His promises put in circulation; He l ... read more
Do men make their own gods?
"Do men make their own gods? Yesbut they are not gods!" Jeremiah 16:20

Do Not Be Dismayed

"Do not forsake me, O Lord! Do not be far from me, O my God!" Psalm 38:21

Do we then make void the law through faith?
When the believer is adopted into the Lord's family, his relationship to old Adam and the law ceases at once; but then he is under a new rule, and a new covenant. Believer, you are God's child; it is your first duty to obey your heavenly Father. A servi ... read more
Do you understand what you read?
"Do you understand what you read?" Acts 8:30
We would be abler teachers of others, and less liable to be carried about by every wind of doctrineif we sought to have a more intelligent understanding of the Word of God. As the Holy Spirit, the Author o ... read more
Doth Job fear God for nought?
This was the wicked question of Satan concerning that upright man of old, but there are many in the present day concerning whom it might be asked with justice, for they love God after a fashion because He prospers them; but if things went ill with them, t ... read more
Drawing Near to God
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. (James 4:8)

Eat, Don't Argue!
TWO learned doctors are angrily discussing the nature of food, and allowing their meal to lie untasted, while a simple countryman is eating as heartily as he can of that which is set before him. The religious world is full of quibblers, critics, and scept ... read more
Election
If there were no other text in the sacred Word except this one, I think we should all be bound to receive and acknowledge the truthfulness of the great and glorious doctrine of God's ancient choice of his family. But there seems to be an inveterate prejud ... read more
Elijah's Appeal To The Undecided
IT was a day to be remembered, when the multitudes of Israel were assembled at the foot of Carmel, and when the solitary prophet of the Lord came forth to defy the four hundred and fifty priests of the false god. We might look upon that scene with the eye ... read more
Emptied To Be Filled
Before the minister shall preach the word to thousands, he must be emptied and made to tremble under a sense of inability. Before the Sunday-school teacher shall bring her girls to Christ, she shall be led to see how weak and insufficient she is. I do bel ... read more
Enemies at Peace
When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Proverbs 16:7)

Enough of Questioning

Established and Kept
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

FAITH, WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS THIS FAITH concerning which it is said, "By grace are ye saved, through faith?" There are many descriptions of faith; but almost all the definitions I have met with have made me understand it less than I did before I saw them. The Negro said, wh ... read more
