SILENCE Arthur Pink, September 1951 There is "a time to keep silent, and a time to speak" (Ecc 3:7), and often as much wisdom and grace is needed for the one, as for the other.

The Good Samaritan by Arthur Pink January, 1942 It has long seemed to this writer that Luke 10:30-35 sets before us an exquisite picture of the sovereign grace of God unto those who have no claim upon Him. That grace is portrayed in the actings of Him who "came to seek and to save that which was los... Read More

Gradual Conquest "I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild beasts too numerous for you.

Servants of God by Arthur Pink October, 1944 The Christian bears a twofold fundamental relationship to God: he is a "son" and he is a "servant".

New Year's Comfort Arthur Pink, 1943 As we launch out into another year, there is little visible prospect of a smooth and pleasant voyage.

A Searching Question Arthur Pink, 1943 "For what do you make request?" Nehemiah 2:4 Nehemiah was a man whom many would envy.

The Word of His GRACE Arthur Pink, 1943 "Now I commit you to God and to the Word of His grace."

The Word of TRUTH Arthur Pink, 1943 One of the many titles given to the Holy Scriptures is "the Word of Truth" (2 Tim 2:15). They are such because they are a communication from "the God of Truth" (Isa 65:17), a revelation from Him "who cannot lie" (Titus 1:2). O the privilege of possessing such a bl... Read More

The Word of FAITH Arthur Pink, 1943 "The Word of Faith that we preach."

CHRISTIAN PERFECTION Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) I suppose that every Christian has been exercised at some time or other by verses in Scripture containing the word "perfect" or "perfection."

SPIRITUAL HELPLESSNESS Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil" (Proverbs 8:13).

CREDULOUS SIMPLETONS Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps" (Proverbs 14:15).

Forbidden Subjection Arthur Pink May, 1946 "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Commanded Subjection Arthur Pink June, 1946 The longer this writer lives—the more deeply is he convinced that the Scriptures cannot possibly be of human origination—but are Divinely inspired .

Prayer Sins Arthur Pink September, 1947 We hope that this unusual title will startle some of our readers and shake them out of their complacency.

Prayer Sighs Arthur Pink October, 1947 Those who are unconscious of and unconcerned about the sins which they commit when at their devotions, will not be able to enter into the meaning of this piece, for it treats of that which is quite foreign to their experiences.
