Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (2 Timothy 4:2) As a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ I will declare the gospel to all who will listen. 1. I preach the truth of Man’s total depravity. That man is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins so that he could never…
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. (1 Peter 2:7-8) Many have sought out means…
While the vast majority of religious people throughout the United States and the world are promoting and glorying in a “lesser god or gods,” gods that have desires and plans, but can only fulfill them by man’s permission and cooperation, I am so very thankful for the one true and living God of Holy Scripture, the One who is absolutely sovereign over all things. I was by nature…
The preaching of Christ Jesus and Him crucified is hated by this religious world. But those who believe, and are saved, love it with a perfect love. It is our only hope, our Salvation. If we compromise on this to please the people of our day, we compromise the Gospel, and make the death of our Lord Jesus Christ of none effect. We have…
Without a doubt a world-crisis is at hand, and everywhere men are alarmed. But God is not! He is never taken by surprise. It is no unexpected emergency which now confronts Him, for He is the One who “worketh all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1v11). Hence, though the world is panic-stricken, the word to the believer is,…
Man’s will has never determined one single event in the world’s history and never will. God’s will alone determines events and brings them to pass. It is true that men do act according to their choice, will, intellect and reason, but this is not the whole truth. The whole truth is that every event, circumstance, opportunity, happening and thought, whether good or…
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet He bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren. -J.C Ryle
. . . and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26 Here is sovereign grace, “I will send down showers.” Is it not sovereign, divine mercy — for who can say, “I will send down showers,” except God? There is only one voice which can speak to the clouds, and…
. . . he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom . . . Isaiah 40:11 Who is He of whom such gracious words are spoken? He is the Good Shepherd. Why does He carry the lambs in His bosom? Because He has a tender heart, and any weakness at once melts His heart. The sighs, the ignorance, the…
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2) The believer’s experience of salvation begins with a look. “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:…
