A GOOD HOPE It is only when our Lord in grace and mercy takes away our imaginary strength that we truly look to Him and trust Him. This we do not learn in creeds and confessions of faith. This we are taught by Him in personal relationship in the experience of grace. I only find […]
SOVEREIGN GRACE AND EVANGELISM The preaching of Sovereign Grace is not an enemy of true evangelism. Let me hasten to say that the preaching of Sovereign Grace will kill, deader than a doornail, the message and method of present-day evangelism!

Philpot “Love in its Priceless Value and Unquenchable Strength”, 1862) “Many waters cannot quench love; neither can floods drown it.” Song of Solomon 8:7 The bride uses a figure which shall express the insuperable strength of divine love against all opposition; and she therefore compares it to a fire which burns and […]
THE LOVE THAT PASSES KNOWLEDGE “Many waters cannot quench love; neither can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with everything he owned, his offer would be utterly despised.” – Song of Solomon 8:7 Jesus thus declares his love to his church, and she replies, “Set me as a seal,” not only on […]
