The Language Of Faith

Faith endures as seeing Him who is invisible (Heb. 11:27); endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognizing that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind. But so long as we are occupied with any other object than God Himself, there will be neither rest for…

The Believer’s Motive to Fear God

Christian, let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent. Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord!…

Now, While We Hear Thy Word of Grace

O Thou, at whose almighty word, The glorious light from darkness sprung! Thy quick’ning influence afford, And clothe with pow’r the preacher’s tongue. Though ’tis thy truth he hopes to speak, He cannot give the hearing ear; ’Tis thine, the stubborn heart to break, And make the careless sinner fear. As when of old, the water flowed Forth from the rock at…

God’s Unchanging Love

“The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, says the Lord who has mercy on you.”–Isaiah 54:10  There is nothing true but heaven–none unchangeable but God. “The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed”–the lofty and the beautiful, the strong and the attractive…

They Shall Never Perish (John 10:28)

Our Lord here makes a blanket, unconditional promise to every true believer. It takes into consideration all times, all circumstances, all contingencies, all events and all possibilities. This promise takes in all the flock. Not one of Christ’s sheep will ever perish no, not even one. If you are a believer, if you trust the Lord Jesus Christ, if you have received…

Though Afflicted, Tempest–tossed

Pensive, doubting, fearful heart,Hear what CHRIST the Savior says;Every word should joy impart,Change thy mourning into praise:Yes, he speaks, and speaks to thee,May he help thee to believe!Then thou presently wilt see,Thou hast little cause to grieve. “Fear thou not, nor be ashamed,All thy sorrows soon shall endI who heav’n and earth have framed,Am thy husband and thy friendI the High and…

Five Heart-Piercing Statements

Many years ago, I heard Henry Mahan make several statements in a message he preached. As I sat in the congregation, listening to the message, I could easily have been convinced that he was preaching to no one but me. Like barbed arrows, these five statements pierced my heart. I wrote them down because I hope never to forget them. Why can’t…

It Is High Time To Awake Out of Sleep

Romans 13:11 The sleep here spoken of by Paul is a shameful indifference to Christ, a spiritual, callousness into which true believers sometimes fall. Yes, men and women who truly love and trust Christ do sometimes, by their own sin and neglect of him, become indifferent to him. The wise virgins, like the foolish, are often found asleep (Matthew 25:1-13; Song of…

The Future Peace And Glory Of The Church

Isaiah 60:15-20 Hear what God the LORD hath spoken, O my people, faint and few; Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heart–felt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow; For the LORD,…

The Cup Of Wrath

“In the hand of the LORD is a cup full of red wine mixed with spices! He pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs!” Psalm 75:8There has been only One who has ever drunk this cup down to its very dregs!  The only One who has taken, tasted, drunk, and wrung out the bitterest of the bitter…
