May 18, 2019
The Shining of the Face of Moses “And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And when Aaron and all …

God fighting Sin
December 28, 1890
God fighting Sin “But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.”— Isaiah lxiii. 10. THIS is a terrible case. When God is turned to be a man’s enemy, and fights against him, he is in a desperate plight. With other enemies we may contend …

“So it is.”
November 30, 1890
"So it is." “Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.”— Job v. 27. THUS closed a forcible speech by Eliphaz the Temanite: it may be called his “summing up.” He virtually says, “What I have testified in the name of my friends is no dream of …

Little Faith and Great Faith
November 2, 1890
Little Faith and Great Faith “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”— Matthew xiv. 31. “O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.”— Matthew xv.28. BETWEEN the very lowest degree of faith and a state of unbelief there is a great gulf. An abyss immeasurable yawns between the man who …

The Man Who Shall Never See Death “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never …

The Test of Taste
October 12, 1890
The Test of Taste “If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”— 1 Peter ii.3. I THINK there can be very little doubt that Peter is here quoting from Psalm xxxiv. 8: “O taste and see that the Lord is good.” As I read you the chapter just now, I could not help …
