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 …

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 …

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 …

Family Reformation; Or, Jacob’s Second Visit to Bethel
January 1, 1970
FAMILY REFORMATION; OR, JACOB’S SECOND VISIT TO BETHEL. “And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there.” — Genesis xxxv. 1. THERE are critical times in most families: times when much decision of character will be needed on the part of the father to guide things aright. They say there is a skeleton in every …
Genesis:35:1
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
Three Crosses
January 1, 1970
Three Crosses “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”— Galatians vi.14. WHENEVER we rebuke other people we should be prepared to clear ourselves of their offence. The apostle had been rebuking those who wished to glory …
Galatians:6:14
Offended with Christ
January 1, 1970
OFFENDED WITH CHRIST. “And blessed is be, whosoever shall not be offended in me.” — Matthew xi. 6. THE connection of the passage assists us in feeling its force. John had sent his disciples to ask the Master whether he was indeed the Messiah, and the Saviour, after giving abundant proof that he was the sent one …
