Sermons & Devotionals by Arthur Pink

Reasoning Repudiated Arthur Pink "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 To "lean on our own understanding" is to trust in our own wisdom. It is to be guided by what the... Read More

Christian Service Arthur Pink August, 1947 Christian service is obviously the service of a Christian, and if words have any meaning, it is the work he does or the duty he discharges unto another in the character of a servant. That raises four questions: What is a "servant"? What are the distinctive ... Read More

HURRY! Arthur Pink, September, 1949 When man fell, sin disjointed the balance and moral poise of his being; and consequently, he is now prone to go to extremes. The depravity of human nature evinces itself in many ways, causing us to act tardily, when speed is called for — and to rush recklessly ahe... Read More

Think about such things Arthur Pink, 1935 In the midst of so much that is depressing and saddening, it becomes the more necessary for the Christian's heart and mind to be occupied with that which is elevating and joy-producing, "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pur...

LORD AND SAVIOR Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8). Most solemnly do these words make manifest the terrible havoc which sin has wrought in fallen mankind. They are out of touch with their Maker; nay more, they ar... Read More

SOUND THE ALARM Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) The saddest feature to us which is now presented by the worldwide "Depression," is not the material destitution which has overtaken millions of our fellow creatures, but the spiritual poverty of so many of our dear Brethren and Sisters in Christ. They seem ... Read More

THE FAITH OF CHRIST Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in flesh." (1 Tim. 3:16) Yes, so "great" is this "mystery" that when faith attempts to view it, our eyes are dazzled: only as we contemplate it through the very words of Holy Writ ... Read More

THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) Our desire is to contemplate here, by the help of the Holy Spirit, that lovely perfection of the Lord Jesus which was the very life and beauty of His mediatorial holiness. His obedience was the absolute conformity of His entire spirit and soul to th... Read More

THE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) Our present subject brings before us a very different aspect of the Truth from that which engaged our attention in the last article: a greater contrast could scarcely be imagined— Christ the Servant, Christ the Sovereign; subject to the will of Anoth...

HEARING THE ROD Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "Hear the rod and the One who ordained it" (Micah 6:9). "Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward" (Job 5:7). How can it be otherwise, living as he is in a world which is under the curse that Adam's sin entailed, and, what is worse, under God's ju... Read More

A Word to Parents Arthur Pink One of the saddest and most tragic features of our twentieth-century "Civilization" is the awful prevalence of disobedience on the part of children to their parents during the days of childhood, and their lack of reverence and respect when they grow up. This is evidence... Read More

The Hope of His Calling by Arthur Pink The unregenerate are without true hope (Ephesians 2:12). They have hope—but it is based on no solid foundation. "May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling ." Ephesians 1:18 What is meant by "the hope of... Read More

DANGEROUS DAINTIES Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you" (Proverbs 23:1). We suppose that this verse has little or no voice for many of our readers, inasmuch as there is scarcely any likelihood they will ever be invited to dine with the... Read More

Spiritual Liars Arthur Pink, 1937 "Remove from me the way of lying" (Psalm 119:29). How we should be humbled by such a prayer as this, for it is evidently an appropriate one for all the Lord's people. The fact that it is not only recorded in Holy Writ—but here in the 119th Psalm, rather than in the ... Read More

The Believer's Paradox Arthur Pink, 1937 "Lord, I do believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). This was the honest confession of one whose faith had been put to a most severe test. It issued from a man who had a son possessed by a demon, which grievously tormented him, "Whenever it seizes him, it thr... Read More

The Christian Outlook Arthur Pink March, 1946 The outlook of the natural man is bounded by the things of time and sense. Necessarily so. Being alienated from God and devoid of spiritual life, his interests are narrowed to this earthly sphere, and where his treasure is—there will his heart be also. T... Read More

The Christian Inlook Arthur Pink April, 1946 "Surely You desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place." Psalm 51:6 There are those who teach that the Christian should never look within—but instead, be constantly occupied with Christ. To the superficial, that may sound ver... Read More

REPENTANCE Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) To His servants Christ gave commandment "that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem" (Luke 24:47). "Beginning at Jerusalem" not because of any dispensational reason, but because grace would comm... Read More

Go Forward! by Arthur Pink January, 1947 Though the writer has passed the sixtieth milestone of life and completed a quarter of a century's hard but happy work on this magazine—yet he feels that "Go forward!" (Exodus 14:15) is the Lord's pressing word unto him at this time. If he should have acquire... Read More

ENEMIES Arthur Pink, 1951 "Why is there so much about enemies in the Psalms?" is a question sometimes raised. One responds, "Because in the covenant, God put enmity between the wicked and the righteous." Undoubtedly that is the basic, true, and satisfying explanation of why the saint is assailed and...
