Wake Up! Wake Up!
September 10, 2019
Wake Up! Wake Up! “That, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”— Romans xiii. 11. THIS exhortation, as you will readily perceive, is not addressed to the ungodly. These words are not spoken to those who are dead in sin, but …
Romans:13:11
The Best Beloved
March 22, 2019
The Best Beloved “Yea, he is altogether lovely.”— Solomon’s Song v. 16. No words can ever express the gratitude we owe to Him who loved us even when we were dead in trespasses and sins: the love of Jesus is unutterably precious and worthy of daily praise. No songs can ever fitly celebrate the triumphs of that …

A Clear Conscience
March 13, 2019
A Clear Conscience “Then shall I not he ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.” — Psalm cxix. 6. ANY attempt to keep the law of God with the view of being saved thereby is sure to end in failure. So contrary is it to the express warnings of the divine Lawgiver, and so much …

The Great Emancipator “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: and I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me.”— Exodus iv. 22, 23. “Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh.” — Exodus vi. …

Concern for Other Men’s Souls
March 8, 2019
Concern for Other Men's Souls “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in mine heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsman according to the flesh: who are Israelites; to whom …

Refined, But Not With Silver
January 1, 1970
Refined, But Not With Silver “Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”— Isaiah xlviii. 10. THE Lord refines his people, but he exercises great discrimination as to the means by which he does so. A silver furnace is one of the very best for the removal …
Isaiah:98:10
The Hiding of Moses by Faith
January 1, 1970
The Hiding of Moses by Faith “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” — Hebrews xi. 23. As I observed to you in the exposition, the stress in these passages of sacred biography …
Hebrews:11:23
A Sacred Solo
January 1, 1970
A Sacred Solo “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.”— Psalm xxviii. 7. THIS passage has, to my mind, a peculiar charm. I do not know whether it breaks on your ear with like …
Psalms:28:7
A Great Bargain
January 1, 1970
A Great Bargain “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”— Matthew xiii. 45, 46. A MERCHANTMAN endeavours to trade so as to make a profit. Whether he deals in pearls …
Matthew:13:45-46
A Distinction with a Difference
1970
A Distinction with a Difference “And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?”— Luke i. 18. “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be?”— Luke i. 34. ZACHARIAS and the Virgin Mary were both very dear to God, and therefore highly honoured and greatly favoured. The points of likeness between them are …
