Look! Look! >From Spurgeon’s sermon, “The Eternal Name” Look! Do you see yonder thief hanging upon the cross? Behold the evil spirits at his foot, with open mouths; charming themselves with the sweet thought, that another soul shall give them food in hell. Behold the death-bird, fluttering his wings over the poor wretch’s head. ‘Vengeance’ passes by and […]

Sin is so evil that the Good God made a hell for the ones who commit sin to spend eternity!  Sin is so evil that nothing but the death of the Son of God on the cross could put it away!  Sin is so evil that it deceives us and makes us hardened toward the […]

Where shall we hide our blushing face? By Octavius Winslow There is much indeed in ourselves of which we have reason truly to be ashamed, and to be filled with profound self-abhorrence. We have need to be ashamed . . .   of our unbelief   of our low thoughts of the Saviour,   of our little […]

1Tim. 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1Tim. 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth (gives life to) all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a […]

Perfectly […]

The love of the truth (J. C. Philpot, “The Valley of Achor” 1861) “Them that perish because they received not the love of  the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thess. 2:10 There is a receiving of ‘the truth’, and a receiving of ‘the love of the truth’. These two things widely differ. To receive the truth […]

Two Great Questions Genesis 3:13 and John 18:35       Here are two great questions I want you to consider. As you consider these two great questions found in the Word of God, I pray that God the Holy Spirit will cause you to know your sin and that he will reveal Christ to you, granting […]

The first link between my soul and Christ is, not my goodness, but my badness; not my merit but my misery, not my standing, but my falling; not my riches, but my need. He comes to visit His people, yet not to admire their beauties, but to remove their deformities, not to reward their virtues, […]

CHRIST THE JUDGE Though today God is long-suffering with men and is giving the fallen sons of Adam space for repentance THERE IS A DAY OF JUDGMENT AND RIGHTEOUS RETRIBUTION COMING (Rev. 20:11-14).
