Sickness can be one of life’s most distressing and humbling circumstances, both for the person who is afflicted and for the loved ones who stand on the sidelines. This is particularly true of strokes, when both brain and body are affected. These two are intricately related, for the brain is the powe... Read More
God created man upright and perfect. He had created man in His own image. This means that man was originally created with the nature of God. Man was created with the Law of God written upon his heart as an internal guide to right and wrong. The conscience seeks to enforce that law by inward dealings... Read More
We have already mentioned that each preacher must be gifted, called and equipped by the Lord for "the work of the ministry." All Christians are "saints by calling," but not all are "preachers by calling." (I Cor. 1:2). Let us therefore consider some things regarding this Divine "call" to preach the ... Read More

God is rich in mercy. It is not only the wealth of the mercy of God, but that mercy is part of His character... Read More
1867 "He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy." Lev. 21:22 It is not easy to say whether the words, "bread of his God," refer generally to the sacrifices and offerings, or specially to the "show-bread." We take them as pointing to the latter; as, indeed, in any inte... Read More
Preached at North Street Chapel, Stamford, on Lord's Day Morning, August 30, 1863 "In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, and vexed hi... Read More
A strange, and wondrous secret shows itself as we pass at once from the opening chapters of Genesis to the closing chapters of Exodus. I mean from these facts--in the one, we see the Lord God preparing a dwelling-place for man; in the other, we see man preparing a dwelling-place for the Lord. At the... Read More
After the people are convicted of sin, when they had made the Golden Calf, it is shown us, I believe, how they learnt Christ, and found their relief in Him, putting on the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. They are seen in Exodus 33 looking after the Mediator as he enters the Tab... Read More
