luke-5:31-32

Many Christians are slaves to the persistent habit of doubting. I do not mean doubts about the existence of God or the truths of the Bible. Rather, they doubt the forgiveness of their sins, their hopes of heaven, and their own inward experience. They are in bondage to their habit of doubting as an a... Read More

No subject can be more deeply interesting to the saint than the nature and effect of that discipline which our God, in the plenitude of His love and wisdom, administers to His people. Interesting as the subject is, and one so necessary to the secret exercises of the soul, yet it is little understood... Read More

EVENING THOUGHTS, or DAILY WALKING WITH GOD APRIL 1. Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

Genesis 28 - 36. Have already followed the course of the Book of Genesis to the close of chapter 27. From that chapter to chapter 36, Jacob is principal; and it is that portion which I now purpose to consider. There is a very important era in the life of Jacob afterwards--his sojourn in Egypt for se... Read More

The Lord addressed His people of old in visions. The eye then, of course, realized the revelation; for it was a sensible form of one sort or another which conveyed the revelation. Now, it is faith that is addressed. But faith realizes its object as surely as sight or hearing, of old, did. Faith "is ... Read More
