Prayer - 2 Peter 1:2, 3

Prayer - Jude 24, 25, Part 1
      The prayer that is now to engage our attention is a particularly arresting one, but its beauty and blessedness appear even more conspicuously when it is examined in connection with its somber background. It concludes the most solemn Epistle in the New Tes ... read more

Prayer - Jude 24, 25, Part 2
      "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling." In further consideration of the connection of this prayer, the following question is crucial: who are the ones that the Lord Jesus thus preserves? Not everyone who professes to believe and to be a foll ... read more

Prayer - Mark 11:24
      PRAYER Arthur W. Pink “What things soever ye desire when ye pray believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:24 By the words “believe that ye receive them”: we understand, expect God to give them to you. But it is at ... read more

Prayer - Revelation 1:5, 6, Part 2
      Two evidences of the love of Christ for His people are mentioned in this prayer: His cleansing of them from their sins by His own blood, and His enriching of them by the dignities He bestows upon them. But there is also a third expression and manifestatio ... read more

Prayer Sighs
      The exercises of soul and pangs of heart find expression in sighs and sobs, in moans and groans, yet such as mere nature never produced. The word "sigh" has a much stronger force in its Scriptural usage than in our ordinary conversation, or we should say, ... read more

Preaching False and True
      Licentious Preaching The twofoldness of Divine Truth is broadly illustrated by the dividing of Gods Word into its two Testaments, wherein, characteristically speaking, we have set forth the Divine Law and the Divine Gospel, and where distinctively (th ... read more

Precious Death
      "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" (PSALM 116:15). This is one of the many comforting and blessed statements in Holy Scripture concerning that great event from which the flesh so much shrinks. If the Lord's people would mo ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 1. THE SCRIPTURES AND SIN
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 1. THE SCRIPTURES AND SIN There is grave reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study of the last few years has been of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it. Yea, we go further; we greatly fear that i ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 10. THE SCRIPTURES AND LOVE

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 2. THE SCRIPTURES AND GOD
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 2. THE SCRIPTURES AND GOD PROFITING FROM THE WORD The Scriptures and God The Holy Scriptures are wholly supernatural. They are a Divine revelation. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16). It is n ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 3. THE SCRIPTURES AND CHRIST

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 4. THE SCRIPTURES AND PRAYER
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 4. THE SCRIPTURES AND PRAYER A prayerless Christian is a contradiction in terms. Just as a still-born child is a dead one, so a professing believer who does not pray is devoid of spiritual life. Prayer is the breath of the ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 5. THE SCRIPTURES AND GOOD WORKS
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 5. THE SCRIPTURES AND GOOD WORKS The truth of God may well be likened to a narrow path skirted on either side by a dangerous and destructive precipice: in other words, it lies between two gulfs of error. The aptness of this ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 6. THE SCRIPTURES AND OBEDIENCE
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 6. THE SCRIPTURES AND OBEDIENCE All professing Christians are agreed, in theory at least, that it is the bounden duty of those who bear His name to honour and glorify Christ in this world. But as to how this is to be done, ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 7. THE SCRIPTURES AND THE WORLD
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 7. THE SCRIPTURES AND THE WORLD Not a little is written to the Christian in the New Testament about "the world" and his attitude towards it. Its real nature is plainly defined, and the believer is solemnly warned against it ... read more

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 9. THE SCRIPTURES AND JOY
       PROFITING FROM THE WORD 9. THE SCRIPTURES AND JOY The ungodly are ever seeking after joy, but they do not find it: they busy and weary themselves in the pursuit of it, yet all in vain. Their hearts being turned from the Lord, they look downward fo ... read more

Real Christianity

Receiving Divine Chastisement
      "My Son despise not thou the chastening of the Lord nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him" (HEBREWS 12:5). Not all chastisement is sanctified to the recipients of it. Some are hardened thereby; others are crushed beneath it. Much depends on the spir ... read more

REGENERATION OR THE NEW BIRTH Chapter 1 ITS NECESSITY

REGENERATION OR THE NEW BIRTH Chapter 2 ITS NATURE

REGENERATION OR THE NEW BIRTH INTRODUCTION
       REGENERATION OR THE NEW BIRTH INTRODUCTION Two chief obstacles lie in the way of the salvation of any of Adams fallen descendants: bondage to the guilt and penalty of sin, bondage to the power and presence of sin; or, in other words, their bein ... read more

Rejoice in the Lord alway
      Why should I, who am by nature no different from the careless and godless throngs all around, have been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and now blest with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Him? Why was I, that once was an al ... read more

Rejoicing in the Lord
      Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice (Phil. 4:4). How many there are today who make an entirely wrong use of this Divine exhortation. Let any servant of God faithfully trace out the inward experiences of a Christian, let him describe the ... read more

Repent or Perish
      These were the words of the incarnate Son of God. They have never been cancelled; nor will they be as long as this world lasts. Repentance is absolute and necessary if the sinner is to make peace with God (Isa. 27:5), for repentance is the throwing down t ... read more

Salvation from the Pleasure of Sin
      It is here that God begins His actual application of salvation unto His elect. God saves us from the pleasure or love of sin before He delivers us from the penalty or punishment of sin. Necessarily so, for it would be neither an act of holiness nor of rig ... read more

Signs of the Times
      No, let us assure the spiritual reader at the outset that we are not going to waste his time nor our space by a consideration of the latest doings of Hitler, Mussolini, and Co. "Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth" (Isa. 45:9): the chi ... read more

Spiritual Fluctuations
      Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God (Psa. 55:19). As there are some people who uniformly enjoy good health, so there is a class of religious professors who appear to maintain one steady level of experience. There is no rise and fal ... read more

Spiritual Growth 1. Introduction
       Spiritual Growth 1. Introduction The name which is usually given to our subject by Christian writers is that of "Growth in Grace" which is a scriptural expression, being found 2 Peter 3:18. But it appears to us that, strictly speaking, growing in ... read more

Spiritual Growth 10. Its Decline
       Spiritual Growth 10. Its Decline I First, its nature. That which we are here to be concerned with is what some writers term "backsliding"a lucid and expressive word that is not employed so often as it should be or once was. Like most other the ... read more

Spiritual Growth 12. Its Evidences

Spiritual Growth 2. Its Root
       Spiritual Growth 2. Its Root Before attempting to define and describe what the spiritual growth of a Christian consists of, we should first show what it is that is capable of growth, for spiritual growth necessarily supposes the presence of spirit ... read more

Spiritual Growth 3. Its Necessity

Spiritual Growth 4. Its Nature

Spiritual Growth 5. Its Analogy

Spiritual Growth 7. Its Stages
       Spiritual Growth 7. Its Stages I In the last chapter we called attention to the fact that Christians may be graded into three classes according to their "stature" in Christ or their spiritual development and progress. In proof thereof appeal wa ... read more

Spiritual Growth 8. Its Promotion
       Spiritual Growth 8. Its Promotion I We have now arrived at what is perhaps the most important aspect of our subjectnot from the doctrinal side but from the practical standpoint. It will avail us little to discover that there is a manifold need ... read more

Spiritual Growth 9. Its Means
       Spiritual Growth 9. Its Means I After what we have said previously it may seem almost superfluous to follow with a chapter devoted to a presentation of the principal means of spiritual growth. If success in the Christian life really narrows dow ... read more
