Servants of Jesus as their Master will trust Him to serve Him and be supplied by Him. Wait on the LORD in Trust.De către Grant Van Leuven

THE HEART'S REST IN CHRIST. To set this forth, let us notice the character of the person who uttered this sentence. She who said, "I sat down under His shadow with great delight," was one who had known before what weary travel meant, and therefore valued rest; for the man who has never labored knows nothing of the sweetness of repose. The loafer wh…

The life of man full of vanity, trouble, disappointments, vexations, and endless self-dissatisfactions; which those who were wise among the heathens saw, complained of, and attempted in vain reliefs against. All these things proceed from the depravation of our nature, and the disorder that is come upon us by sin; and as, if they are not cured and h…

A soul waiting on the LORD is found waiting in His Word. Wait on the LORD in His Word.De către Grant Van Leuven

How many poor Christians among us are to this day unclear and cloudy about their assurance and evidence for heaven? If they had walked closely with God, laboriously searching and studying their own hearts, they would have long ago obtained a clearness and satisfaction about the state of their own hearts. But as they are, they are unfit for bonds or…

June 4-8, 1802 A Sermon was delivered on Friday to a thoughtless disorderly crowd, which became gradually composed and serious, until Monday which was the most solemn day my eyes ever beheld. Nothing very unusual appeared until Sunday when a stout woman who had been all day mocking the mourners, fell; and fell in a state of horror and despair that …

It is objected that if the sinner is so enslaved by sin that he is impotent to do good, his free agency is denied and he is reduced to a mere machine. This is more a metaphysical question than a practical one, being largely a matter of terms. There is a real sense in which the natural man is in bondage; nevertheless within certain limits he is a fr…

There is nothing so horrid, desperate, irksome, or wicked, thatconvinced persons will not engage to do under their pressure on theaccount of the guilt of sin. They will burn their children in the fire, while the cries of their conscience outcry the lamentation of their miserable infants: which, as it argues the desperate blindness that is in man by…

Expository Thoughts On the Gospel of LukeDe către J. C. Ryle

One great mystery is, that the holy frame and disposition whereby our souls are furnished and enabled for immediate practice of the law, must be obtained by receiving it out of Christ's fulness, as a thing already prepared and brought to an existence for us in Christ, and treasured up in him; and that as we are justified by a righteousness wrought …

The withering before the sowing was very marvellously fulfilled in the preaching of John the Baptist. Most appropriately he carried on his ministry in the desert, for a spiritual desert was all around him; he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness. It was not his work to plant, but to hew down.…

A Tract From Chapel Library on WorshipDe către A. W. Pink

Christ and the Christian in Temptation - "To be tempted of the Devil"—The language of the inspired narrator admits of no reasonable misconception. He speaks of the Tempter in terms perfectly intelligible. There are individuals who, in their judicial blindness and supercilious self-conceit—influenced, perhaps,in their opinion in many cases by the te…

God's people take present hope in God due to a certain future in Him. Wait on the LORD in Hope.De către Grant Van Leuven

The THIRD ENDOWMENT necessary to enable us for the practice of holiness, without which, a persuasion of our reconciliation with God would be of little efficacy to work in us a rational propensity to it, is, that we be persuaded of our future enjoyment of the everlasting heavenly happiness. This must precede our holy practice as a cause disposing an…

To those who pray, prayer is a most precious thing, for it is the channel by which priceless blessings come to them, the window through which their needs are supplied by a gracious God. To Believers, prayer is the great means of soul enrichmentDe către C. H. Spurgeon

Psalm 78:39-72 The Treasury of David - He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like …

The Treasury of David Psalm 78De către C. H. Spurgeon

Christians are to follow their elders' guidance to not grieve them and for their own good. Encourage Your Elders.De către Grant Van Leuven

The angels sang something which men could understand—something which men ought to understand—something which will make men much better if they will understand it. The angels were singing about Jesus who was born in the manger. We must look upon their song as being built upon this foundation. They sang of Christ, and the salvation which he came into…

Class one of two on the 7th commandment, the duties required. An examination as well of Pilgrim's Progress story of Faithful recounting to Christian his encounter with the Woman called Wanton.De către Thomas Sullivan

The way of attaining to godliness is so far from being known without learning out of the holy scriptures, that, when it is here plainly revealed, we cannot learn it so easily as the duties of the law; which are known in part by the light of nature, and therefore the more easily assented to. It is the way whereby the dead are brought to live unto Go…

Exposition of Psalm 130-1,2 The Forgiveness of SinDe către John Owen

Saints are greatly concerned in such judgments upon a religiousand Christian account, for it is usual for the flood of God's judgmentsnot only to sweep away our civil and natural, but our spiritual andbest enjoyments and comforts. Thus the ordinances of God ceased inBabylon, and there the faithful bewailed their misery upon thataccount, Psal. 137. …

Thanksgiving Day Worship Service. When worries wake or keep up God's people, they should use the occasion to get up and remember to thank God for His deliverance, provision, and presence. When You Wake Up Worried Get Up and Offer Up Thanksgiving.De către Grant Van Leuven

God has graciously promised to work obedience in His people. "I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them" (Ezek. 36:27)—He would not only point out the way, but move them to go therein; not force by external violence, but induce by an inward principle. "They shall all have one …

While all the issues of providential dispensations, in reference to the public concerns of these nations, are perplexed and entangled, the footsteps of God lying in the deep, where his paths are not known; while, in particular, unparalleled distresses and strange prosperities are measured out to men, yea, to professors; while a spirit of error, gid…

It is the duty of God's people thus publicly to own the covenant; and that it was not only a duty in Israel of old, but is so in the Christian church, and to the end of the world; and that it is a duty required of adult persons before they come to sacraments. And this being a point of great consequence in this controversy, but a matter seldom handl…
