galatians-5:17

"Worldly people, who do not have the Spirit." Jude 19 I take it for granted that every reader of this paper believes in the Holy Spirit. The number of people in this country who are infidels, deists, or Socinians, and openly deny the doctrine of the Trinity, is happily not very great. Most people ha... Read More

"Give me your heart." Proverbs 23:26 "Your heart is not right in the sight of God." Acts 8:21 The heart is the main thing in true religion. I make no excuse for asking the special attention of my readers, while I try to say a few things about the heart. The head is not the principal thing. You may k... Read More

I believe that we might shortly describe this epistle as thus--the "scripture" by the ministry of Paul now, as once by the voice of Sarah, casting the bondwoman and her son out of the house of Abraham.

He does this by showing them his own commission, revelations, experience, and acts, all immediate and personal (Gal. 1, 2); and then by challenges and reasonings. (Ga... Read More

OUR FATHER "I will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:18 Tried Christian, you are not an orphan! You have a Father!

Whenever the topic of human nature is brought up, the question about man's natural tendency is usually introduced to the discussion. Just as natural inability is commonly used by sinners as an excuse for sinning, so also a "sinful nature" is a common excuse that I regularly hear from sinners when wi... Read More

How the Words "Flesh" and "Spirit" are to be Understood in the Scriptures For your better understanding of the scriptures, especially of the new Testament; for the forearming you against errors, which, through the ignorance or diverse acception and taking of terms or words used and written of the ho...

A Discourse, occasioned In, the Decease of Mrs. Ann Button. PSALM 40:11 Why art thou cast down, O my Soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. The Psalmist (who, it is highly probable, was David), when ... Read More

Now we've been talking about the anatomy of the church and I told you I was just going to give it to you in chunks however it came. And as we've already seen in this series, and we've done four messages and gone through the first phase of it, we've now come to the second, but as we've seen the churc... Read More
