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 […]
“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 […]
SONS OF GOD from Spurgeon’s sermon, SONS OF GOD If we are born into God’s family, it is a miracle of mercy! It is one of the ever-blessed exhibitions of the infinite love of God which without any cause in us, has set itself upon us. If you are this day an heir of heaven, […]
“Sovereign Grace Hated by the Modern Religionist” By C H Spurgeon If anything is hated bitterly, it is the out-and-out gospel of the grace of God, especially if that hateful word “sovereignty” is mentioned with it.

His children began to hiss! (Excerpts from the letters of William Tiptaft) Dear brother, Since I last wrote, I have preached in Abingdon Great Church, on Christmas evening. I preached the truth, I trust, to a very crowded congregation, supposed to be (sitting and standing, who were able to get in) about 5,000 people. I […]
The Omnipresence of God John MacDuff, “Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Where shall I flee from Your presence?” Psalm 139:7 The omnipresence of God! How baffling to any finite comprehension! To think that above us, and around us, and within us—there is Deity—the invisible footprints of an Omniscient, Omnipresent One! “His Eyes are […]
Contemplating God’s greatness! (Charles Spurgeon) “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place — what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him?” Psalm 8:3-4 Lift up your eyes, behold the heavens, the […]
The more burdens we put on His shoulders (Charles Spurgeon) “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble!” Psalm 46:1 Scripture promises are not meant to be looked at only—but to be appropriated.
