Personal Owning of God Arthur Pink "Ascribe greatness unto our God." Deuteronomy 32:3 Let us ponder the varied implications of this text unto the individual believer .

HEART WORK Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) As well might a poor man expect to be rich in this world—without industry, or for a weak man to become strong and healthy—without food and exercise, as for a Christian to be rich in faith and strong in the Lord—without earnest endeavor and diligent effort. It is... Read More

A Prosperous New Year Arthur Pink January, 1944 This is our desire both for our readers and for ourselves. But the mere wishing or desiring of it, will not bring the same to pass.

Our Righteous Redeemer Arthur Pink February, 1944 Does such a title have somewhat of a strange sound to the ear of the reader? Is that adjective unfamiliar in such a connection?

Wisdom for the Wise Arthur Pink March, 1944 "He gives wisdom to the wise —and knowledge to the discerning."

The Right Beginning Arthur Pink "In the beginning GOD." Genesis 1:1 How much depends upon a right beginning . If the foundation is faulty—the superstructure is insecure.

Unworthiness by Arthur Pink, 1940 It is impossible for the creature to do anything which merits anything at the hands of God—for even if he should fully perform his duty he is still an "unprofitable servant" (Luke 17:10).

PEACE by Arthur Pink, 1940 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Access to God Arthur Pink The matter of our approach into the presence of God is one of vital importance—yet it is one (like so many others these days) upon which much confusion and misconception exists. We will not now attempt to canvass the principal errors pertaining thereto, for there would be l... Read More

Inward Impressions Arthur Pink This is a subject which is rarely touched upon today—yet in certain quarters especially, there is a real need that it should be dealt with.

Spiritual Nourishment Arthur Pink "Nourished up in the Words of Faith" (1 Timothy 4:6).
