john-10:10

"My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change" (Proverbs 24.21). During the Lewis revival I well recall the mighty impact made as the powerful breath of the Spirit touched community after community. Everywhere, men and women of all ages became convicted,...

"My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change" (Proverbs 24.21). In the reference given above we read of those who are given to change. That is the opposite of STEADFASTNESS, which is, without question, a prime virtue. Someone has said: "Be sure you are ... Read More

PREFATORY. BY "the three Marys" it is not meant that there are not other Marys in the New Testament, only that the three selected -- Mary the mother of our Lord, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene -- occupy a specially prominent place. It must indeed be apparent to every reader of the Scriptures th... Read More

Mark 5: 22-43; Luke 7: 11-16; John 11. Three times only, as far as we know, did the Lord Jesus, while upon earth, raise the dead to life; viz., the daughter of Jairus, the son of the widow of Nain, and Lazarus.

In John 9 we get another thing connected with the same truth. Now He is the One who not only has eternal life and is light, but who al... Read More

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION Several years having elapsed since the first publication of this booklet, and a new edition being called for, I have considerably revised my former paper, though altering nowhere the teaching therein set forth.

THE FOURTH DECADE. THE FOURTH SERMON. THAT GOD IS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS, AND GOVERNETH ALL THINGS BY HIS PROVIDENCE: WHERE MENTION IS ALSO MADE OF THE GOODWILL OF GOD TO USWARD, AND OF PREDESTINATION.

1867 "For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Christ died and came to life for this: that He might rule over both the dead and the living." Romans 14:7-9... Read More

1867 "The Life was manifested." 1 John 1:2 "Like draws to like," is man's maxim, and man's principle of action. The things that resemble, attract each other; the things that differ, repel. Love attracts love; the loving and the loveable knit themselves together. Life attracts life; and the living cl... Read More
