“THEY straightway left their nets.” Immediately, without hesitation, without question, at once, on the spot, there and then, instantaneously—at the Master’s call they “left their nets, and followed him.” It was one mark of our Savior’s authority and power that…

LET no Christian imagine that he will ever have immunity from trouble while he continues in the body. Should you be favored with visions and revelations of the Lord, caught up to the third heaven, admitted into paradise and privileged to hear things which it w…

THIS text is part of a terrible description of God’s judgment upon Babylon and Chaldea. The prophet had clearly written out the indictment of the Lord against that tyrannic people, and having proved their guilt He pronounces their sentence. He accused them of…

DURING the time that “Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law,” he “came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb,” and there he saw a strange sight—a bush that burned with fire, and yet was not consumed. Then Moses, apparently overtaken by curiosity, w…

THE story of four leprous men inserted in the Book of the Kings of Israel, is it not amazing? No, it is not singular for the Bible. If you were to take out of the Scriptures all the stories that have to do with poor, afflicted men and women, what a very small…

OUR Lord looks for faith as the result of His teaching, and I think that I hear Him say, at the end of every service, “Do ye now believe? You have listened, you have made remarks about the speaker, do ye now believe? You have been made to feel, you have brushe…

THIS verse immediately follows the warning to “him that thinketh he stands” to “take heed lest he fall.” We none of us know what stuff we are really made of until we are tried and tested. It is a very easy thing to imagine yourself to be strong, but it is a ve…

IT is delightful to find how exactly the experience of David, under the Jewish dispensation, tallies with the experience of the saints of God in these Gospel times. David lived in an age of miracles and divers manifestations. He could have recourse to the Urim…

DURING the last two years some of the most notable commercial reputations have been hopelessly destroyed. Men in the great world of trade, who were trusted for hundreds of thousands of pounds, around whose characters there hovered no cloud of suspicion, nor ev…

THE word of the Lord was against the land to which these words were spoken. The whole verse reads, “Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will eve…

A WORD is the expression of the mind. What a man has thought may live and die within himself, but when he wishes his thought to live in the outer world, he embodies it in a word and thus his thought is made known. Thought without expression is as an arm uplift…

YOU all know that at that time, our Lord was speaking of His death, which would cause the deepest grief to His own people, while the ungodly world would rejoice and laugh them to scorn. So He bade them look beyond the immediate present into the future, and bel…

THE prophets of old were no triflers. They did not run about as idle tellers of tales, but they carried a burden. Those who at this time speak in the name of the Lord, if they are, indeed, sent of God, dare not sport with their ministry, or play with their mes…

IT was a singular circumstance that a man unarmed should have slain a lion in the prime of its vigor and yet, more strange that a swarm of bees should have taken possession of the dried carcass and have filled it with their honey. In that country, what with be…

YOU have doubtless heard several sermons from this text already. I have discoursed upon it, I know not how many times—not so many times, however, as I intend yet to do if God shall spare my life. This verse is one of those great wells of salvation from which w…

IT is not always the most gifted church which is in the most healthy state. A church may have many rich, influential, or learned members, many that have the gift of utterance, and understand all sciences, yet that church may be in an unhealthy condition. Such…

YOU that know the loving heart of our Lord Jesus are quite sure that He would never needlessly discourage a soul in coming to Him. Yet in this case, “He answered her not a word.” Is Jesus mute when misery entreats a word from Him? The Friend of Man is usually…

SIN is greatly aggravated by the mercy of God, of which the sinner has been a partaker. Sin in a child of God is peculiarly sinful. Instead of its being a trifle, as some men seem to think, it is a very solemn matter indeed. To have had deep draughts of divine…

Indeed, at this very hour, a Jew is the riches of Jews and Gentiles alike, for our Lord sprang out of Judah, and therefore do we “take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you.” And He is, to us, “more precious than fine gold; even a…

WE who are condemned to live in this great wilderness of brick are very likely to forget the seasons altogether. And our friends who live out in the green country, and see the changing seasons, are quite as apt to hear the voices of the seasons with their ears…

ISRAEL of old had the light of God while all the rest of the world sat in darkness; in consequence of receiving moral and spiritual light from God, the nation prospered, and under the smile of heaven it was greatly enriched and multiplied. But, alas, the sun w…

OBSERVE dear friends, that our Lord Jesus Christ does lay a yoke and a burden upon His followers.

IN trying to understand the truth of God we are in great danger of being one-sided. One man catches at part of a truth, and says, “That is it, and that is the whole of it.” Another man lays hold of another side of truth, and he says, “This is the whole of it;”…

THIS is the language of the heavenly Bridegroom to His spouse. In great condescension He speaks to her and bids her take note that her eyes have overcome Him. This morning [See sermon #1317, Overcome Evil with Good] our subject was overcoming evil with good. W…
