As we start upon our spiritual navigation from the great mountains and forests of the wild life of nature, we must be content to take the lowest and humblest steps that belong to beginners. The lowest class of vessels that go by water are those of the tow-boat rank, such as are used on canals, and barges for hauling slow and heavy freight. There are two classes of boats that we must utilize in our journey before we come to the sail boat, which, in a proper sense, represents the life of a regenerated believer; of one who has the assurance of the Spirit that he is a child of God. In like ...

I do not know into whose hands this tract may fall. But I know there is no living soul, who ought not to feel an interest in its subject. Young men or maidens, old men or children, married or single, gentle or simple, listen to a question;—Shall you be saved? Reader, I entreat you in all affection, to examine the question I put before you. I address you as a dying creature,—an immortal creature,—a creature going to be judged before the bar of God. As ever you would die in peace, rise again with hope, be acquitted in the day of judgment, and live for ever in glory,—give me a hearing ...

“Let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.” THESE were the words of Joseph, the President of the first Life Insurance Company that the world ever saw. Pharaoh had a dream that distracted him. He thought he stood on the banks of the river Nile, and saw coming up out of the river, seven fat, sleek, glossy cows, and they began to browse in the thick grass. Nothing frightful about that. But after them, coming up out of the same river, he saw seven cows that were gaunt and starved, and the worst looking cows that had...

Every good gift and every perfect gif is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. IT has, I think, been devised wisely and well that the services of to-day should stand, if possible, in some connection with the celebrations which will fill up the remainder of the week. You, who have sought that such a connection should exist, have thus declared many things. You have declared first, that you have no intention nor desire to separate the gift from the Giver—to glorify the one, and to forget or leave out of sight the other—to make much of man at the expense of Him who is the ...

David Livingston is one of the most thoughtful pastors I know. Getting to Good is a helpful and inspiring book that blessed me as I read it. It will bless you, too.Adam Hamilton Pastor and author of Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith, Abingdon, 2023 Jesus told his first followers two thousand years ago that they could experience "abundant life." Yet today, we still struggle with some of the same problems as his first followers and some problems they didn't have to face. Getting to Good explores seven common struggles of contemporary life. Through scripture, contemporary examples, and ...

Esta versión del Sermón de la Montaña recoge lo escrito en el evangelio de Mateo en los capítulos 5, 6 y 7.

"BUT HAVE RENOUNCED THE HIDDEN THINGS OF DISHONESTY, NOT WALKING IN CRAFTINESS, NOR HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD DECEITFULLY; BUT BY MANIFESTATION OF THE TRUTH, COMMENDING OURSELVES TO EVERY MAN’S CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD." 2 CORINTHIANS 4:2 In the preceding chapter the apostle is describing the excellency of the gospel. He compares it with the law; and though he allows that was glorious, yet he asserts that the gospel exceeds in glory. This is the glorious gospel which was committed to Paul and the other apostles. Hence he begins this chapter in the manner he does: "Therefore seeing we...

What is the Sermon on the Mount? In Matthew 5-7, Christ climbs a mountain with his disciples and from there gives his most famous sermon. He starts by describing those who are members of his heavenly kingdom (Matt 5:3-10). They are the poor in spirit, the mourners, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, etc. Those who are truly heavenly citizens don’t just have a profession of faith but experience a faith that changes their life and character—they are new creations in Christ (2 Cor 5:17). Christ warns those listening to his sermon of potential deception—if their ...

Are you frustrated with your career, marriage, or life in general? Do you feel like you're spinning your wheels, struggling to move forward? Are you frustrated with endlessly waiting on breakthroughs and opportunities to come your way? You're not alone. In today's world delays can prevent us from reaching our goals. The pressure of the world and the evil forces that attack us can cause us to lose sight of our purpose and destiny. These delays can keep us from coming into our full potential. But, don't despair. Victory Over Delays in Life by Pastor Ladejola Abiodun can help. This powerful ...

This book helps readers develop the discipline of coming each day before the Lord in a quiet place for the renewal of their faith, hope, and love through the Lord Jesus. Drawing its title from Psalm 95.2 (“Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving”), it contains readings for 365 days of the year, divided into 52 sections (weeks). Each day’s reading includes a scripture from the Psalms or the Sermon on the Mount, focus on a specific topic, a discussion of its meaning, and a prayer.

“He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, is there not a lie in my right hand?” Isaiah, xliv. 20. Of some diseases, and those not the least dangerous, it is a distinguishing characteristic, that the aihng fancy themselves in health, and resent, as rudeness and unkindness, an attempt to undeceive them. This is especially observable in the worst family of diseases to which our compound frame is liable, — those that affect the mind. It is proverbial, that insanity cannot know itself, and sees nothing but insanity in the pity ...

Although the Lord Jesus Christ treated all His disciples with condescending and affectionate familiarity, yet some of them He distinguished with more marked attention, and with more intimate access to himself than the rest. On what ground this preference was manifested, it is not for us to inquire; it is sufficient that we are sure that all His actions were guided by perfect wisdom, and sprung from the purest motives. Of the whole number, John only had the appellation of ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved;’ and to him it was granted, not only to be present at those interesting scenes in our...

MY brethren, if we at all believe that creation is the work of God; that highest wisdom, and highest power, and highest goodness, these, and not random chance, presided over its birth; we must then also, and as a necessary consequence, believe that to every creature of God’s hand a certain sphere of action was at the first assigned, in which moving, all should be well with it, for it would be fulfilling the ends of its creation; while, if it should forsake this, or he forcibly removed from it, all would then he harsh, discordant, adapting itself ill, or adapting itself not at all, to its ...

Only a few days ago I heard a nice story of how God answered the prayers of a little child only nine years of age. She had trusted in Christ, and God had given her a praying heart. Her father was not a Christian; far from it, he was an infidel. He tried not to believe what the Bible says about our Saviour's death and sufferings for us. She was in the habit of remaining every Sunday in the Sunday-school room after the morning service, that she might pray alone to God. One day, when the weather was severely cold, and the wind blowing hard, her father was afraid she would not get home alone, ...

“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.”— Col. iii. 17. All, probably, have felt at times a painful void, after they had been wholly taken up with some work of their calling or active duty. The soul has seemed to come to itself, and found itself empty and exhausted. What it has done, it has, according to its infirmity, done according to the will of God. At least, it does not, on examining itself, find anything, in any marked way, done contrary to the law and will of God. On the contrary, it has even been ...

The audiobook 104 Fantastic Children's Sermons is an excellent resource for youth leaders, pastors, and parents. The sermons were written by longtime pastor and novelist Joe C. Ellis. This book would also work well for homeschooling Bible lessons or bedtime listening for parents who want their children to hear scripture-based stories on a regular basis.

Any passages of the Scripture are like hundreds of wayside flowers, which for months and years are unnoticed by us, simply because we have been accustomed from our childhood to see them without stooping to pluck or to examine them. Many of the homeliest flowers would appear transcendently beautiful if we would take the trouble to study them minutely, to magnify their parts, and to bring out their constituent elements. And so we were taught to read the Bible so early, in the family and in the village school, and we have so often and often walked along the chapters, that we have beaten a ...
