We will be like Him! (Octavius Winslow, “Eternal Glorification”) “We know that when He comes we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He really is.” 1 John 3:2 Perfect holiness is the eternal glory of the saints! The very utterance of the thought seems to awaken music in the soul. Seeing Christ as He […]

Will Believers Be Called Into Judgment For Their Sins? “If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?” Psalm 130:3 The question is often raised, “Will believers be called into judgment for their sins; or will God judge his elect for their sins and failures, committed after they were saved, and expose them […]

“I go to prepare a place for you!” The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Jesus Affirmed to Be Alive” #2016. Acts 25:18-19 That pierced hand has taken hold of eternal bliss on the behalf of those for whom He shed His blood. Jesus is now in Heaven making preparation for our coming. What has to be […]

“Do not be afraid—for I Myself will help you—declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 41:14 This morning, let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: “I Myself will help you. It is but a small thing for Me, your God, to help you. Consider what I have done […]

Substitution Leviticus 16: 15 The goat which was slain died in the place of the guilty children of Israel. The people sinned.  They deserved to die (Romans 6:23.)  Instead of the people dying, the slain goat died as a sin-offering in the place of the people.  That is substitution (Galatians 3:13-14.)  There is no “sense” […]

Christ Made Sin For Us —    2 Corinthians 5:21 In order to save me, the Lord Jesus Christ was made to be sin for me. The Son of God voluntarily took upon himself that horrible, ugly, vile, ignominious thing which he most hates — sin. O my soul, be forever astonished! The God-man became sin […]

The Robe! From Spurgeon’s, “The Treasure of Grace” God’s children are wrapped around with a robe, a seamless robe, which earth and heaven could not buy the like of  it, were it once lost. For texture it excels the fine linen of the merchants; for whiteness it is purer than the driven snow; no looms on earth […]

For me a worm! “The Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins” Galatians 1:3-4 “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins” 1 John 2:2 O what an astonishing truth is this! The Son of God offering Himself up a sacrifice for sin! He who knew no sin — who was holy, harmless, and undefiled […]

Preaching from the Heart Bro. Scott Richardson once described preaching like this: “Preaching is getting a message from God’s heart to my heart, and from my heart to your heart.” When I hear a man preach, I want to hear a man preach from his heart. When I preach, I want to preach from my […]

Weary? “Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 The Lord’s purpose in laying burdens upon us is to weary us out. We cannot learn our  religion in any other way. We cannot learn it from the Bible, nor from the experience […]
