There is no real and lasting rest for the unbelieving soul. He seeks rest and satisfaction in things that are perishing. He can never look beyond the mortal and corruptible. The yoke of the faithless is the heavy burden of sin and the sentence of death. He looks to the law for help but is […]

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and […]
Fully, Entirely and Perfectly! The following is from Spurgeon’s book, “Christ’s Incarnation, the Foundation of Christianity” “You Shall Call His Name Jesus: For He SHALL SAVE His People From Their Sins.” Matthew 1:21 JESUS is nothing at all if He is not a SAVIOUR. He is anointed to this very end. His very Name is […]
Fixed and fastened by an Almighty hand. J.C.Philpot Truth, as it stands in the naked word of God, is lifeless and dead—and as such, has no power to communicate what it has not in itself—that is, life and power to the hearts of God’s people. It stands there in so many letters and syllables, as […]
His master-purpose! (Charles Spurgeon, “Christ’s Incarnation, the Foundation of Christianity”) Let us gather with grateful boldness around the infant in the manger, and behold our God! “Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins!” Matthew 1:21 The great object of our Lord’s coming here was not to live, […]
The one, precious, all absorbing theme! from “The Precious Things of God” by Octavius Winslow The Word of God must ever be transcendently precious to the believer. The Bible is, from its commencement to its close, a record of the Lord Jesus. Around Him the divine and glorious Word centers; all its wondrous types, prophecies, […]
“Great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh.” 1 Timothy 3:16 J.C.Philpot A mystery indeed it is, a great, a deep, an unfathomable mystery; for who can rightly understand how the divine Word, the eternal Son of God, was made flesh, and dwelt among us? “Who shall declare his generation?” (Isa.

I wish the Gospel were always called by its right name, “GLAD TIDINGS”, then we should know better what we are about. Now the OFFER of glad tidings is simply absurd, it is nonsense! GLAD TIDINGS ARE NOT OFFERED! Glad tidings are proclaimed, made known, published. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him […]
