The divine hammer!Spurgeon, “Preach, Preach, Preach Everywhere” You do not know who the elect are. You do not know whose heart will be broken by the divine hammer of truth.But it is your responsibility to use the divine hammer on the hard heart. And as the gospel is preached it will attract to itself, by […]
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the other apostles, Men and brethren what shall we do?” Acts 2:37 A cut to the heart is very painful. To be cut anywhere is not a thing to be desired, but a cut to the heart would not merely be […]
When Solomon commanded the living child to be cut in half to settle the dispute over whose mother the child was; each mother would receive one half of the child. One of the two women agreed that that would be the fair and equitable thing to do. The other one said, “No, give her the child.” That is […]
The glorious thing about the Gospel is this. If I can do nothing to merit, earn, or deserve my salvation, then I can certainly do nothing to lose it. Our righteousness before God is determined only by the finished work of Christ that God accepted as perfect. So with Paul we simply “declare at this […]
The gospel! Octavius Winslow The gospelis the master-work of Jehovah, presenting the greatest display of His manifold wisdom, and the most costly exhibition of the riches of His grace.

Believing that God in sovereign mercy, elected a chosen people before the foundation of the world, will profit you nothing […]
Self Promoting Preachers “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.” (John 7:18) Multitudes there are, like Diotrephes, who fill the pulpits of churches in every age. Craving the honour of men and loving to […]
The secret of Spurgeon’s preaching…“I take my text and make a bee-line to the cross.” Jesus is The Truth.We believe in Him– not merely in His words. He is the Doctor and the Doctrine,the Revealer and the Revelation,the Illuminator and the Light of Men. He is exalted in every word of truth,because he is its […]
