THE FAITHFUL SAYING 1Ti_1:15 This is the Apostle’s own testimony, a declaration of his own experience (1Ti_1:12-15). The "saying" is not his own, he got it from others. It is of world-wide significance. I. It Reveals the Love of God. Nature may seem "red, tooth and claw." God is love. II. It Reveals the Grace … Continue reading “0526. THE FAITHFUL SAYING”

EBENEZER 1Sa_7:12 The circumstances connected with this "stone of help" are suggestive of the way into spiritual victory. There was- 1. Conscious Need. "All…..lamented after the Lord" (1Sa_7:2). 2. Confession Made. "We have sinned" (1Sa_7:6). 3. Separation Demanded. "Put away strange gods… serve Him only" (1Sa_7:3). 4. Substitution Acknowledged.

ELIJAH ON CARMEL; or, Faith Vindicated, 1Ki_18:19-39 There are only two religions: (1) The Religion of Man; (2) The Religion of God.

BACKSLIDING-ITS CAUSE, COURSE, AND CURE Jer_2:1-37. The prodigal did not arrive among the swine the first day he left his father. The course of the backslider is gradual.

SOLOMON AND THE QUEEN OF SHEBA; Or, Christ and His Servants, 1Ki_10:1-10 A greater than Solomon is here (Mat_12:42). We have perhaps a picture here of the glory that shall yet characterise the "Greater Solomon" and His servants in the age to come (Isa_60:1-6). What brought the Queen of Sheba to behold the wisdom and … Continue reading “0523. SOLOMON AND THE QUEEN OF SHEBA;”

THE GOSPEL TRUMPET Joe_2:15. It is surely most fitting, in the present religious condition, that at the opening of this year we should hear this urgent call to the Lord’s trumpeters to "Sound an alarm." Spiritual slumber and apathy to soul-saving work seem to have settled down upon the modern Zion. "Minding earthly things" an … Continue reading “0520. THE GOSPEL TRUMPET”

THE LADDER OF GRACE. Col_1:9-14 Paul’s letters are as much alive to-day as when they were first read in the Churches 1800 years ago.

Only those who … Continue reading “0521. THE LADDER OF GRACE.”
