Mere notional knowledge By J. C. Philpot The distinction that we are drawing between a gracious knowledge of the truth—and a mere notional knowledge is plain enough to every discerning child of God.

False faith! (Don Fortner) There is a false faith in which multitudes are confidently resting. There is a false faith by which multitudes are deceived and will perish for ever in Hell.

FAITH This is the great and momentous word in Scripture, which hath given rise to endless disputes, and employed the minds of men in all ages to explain; and yet to thousands still remains as obscure as ever.

Peter’s Sin And RepentanceTom HardingPeter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
