BETWEEN the very lowest degree of faith and a state of unbelief there is a great gulf. An abyss immeasurable yawns between the man who has even the smallest faith in Christ and the man who has none. One is a living man, though feeble, the other is “dead in tre…

THE Lord does not always tell us what He will do. “Verily You are a God that hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.” He has told us that, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing” and our Lord Jesus has said, “It is not for you to know the times or the…

THE first two words of our text call attention to the distinction which must always be drawn between true Christians and other people, “But ye.” The apostle had been writing concerning other Gentiles and the evil lives they lived, so, to the believers at Ephes…

DURING the past week the church of God, and the world at large, have sustained a very serious loss. In the taking home to Himself by our gracious Lord the Earl of Shaftesbury, we have, in my judgment, lost the best man of the age. I do not know whom I should p…

[See sermon #130, Regeneration] WE need not wonder that there are some mysteries in our holy faith, for there are mysteries everywhere. In nature there are ten thousand things that we cannot understand. In our own bodies there are inexplicable mysteries. He wh…

IT is remarkable how, throughout the whole of John’s epistle, he continually uses the word “know.” It has quite refreshed me to read through the epistle carefully and to observe how, as the clock strikes the same note again and again, John seems to have kept t…

WE have often repeated these memorable words and they have brought us much comfort. But it is possible that we may never have looked deeply into them, so as to have seen the fullness of their meaning. The works of man will seldom bear close inspection.

YOU know the story of which these words form a part. Abraham was anxious to secure a wife for his son Isaac. He sends, therefore, his well-tried servant to the land of their forefathers, and takes an oath of him that he will bring a maiden from thence, who sho…

THIS text primarily relates to Israel—to the Jews—and there can be no doubt whatever that there are great blessings in store for God’s ancient people. Although blindness in part has happened unto Israel, yet, in due time we know, from the Word of God, that the…

THE idols said nothing to their worshippers. They had mouths, but they spoke not. You might go on worshipping an image for twenty years, but you would never get a reply to anything you said to it. It could not see you, it could not hear you, it could not answe…

HAVING on one or two occasions made use of the phrase, “praying for King Jesus,” I have been somewhat surprised to find that it was not understood, and I have been rather astonished at receiving several notes asking for an explanation of what I supposed to be…

THE early Christians had to suffer for their faith. They were exposed to great ridicule and enmity.

FOR several Sabbath mornings my mind has been directed into subjects, which I might fitly call the deep things of God. I think I have never felt my own incompetence more fully than in trying to handle such subjects. It is a soil into which one may dig and dig…

THE day had been a very illustrious one. Our Lord had remarkably displayed His teaching and healing powers. Great crowds had been attracted, and He had both delivered to them most precious parables and worked among them most marvelous cures. Grand as the day w…

HABAKKUK had the sadness of living at a time when true religion was in a very deplorable state.

OUR Savior had so steadfastly set His face towards the awful sufferings of His passion, that when they actually approached He was not in the slightest degree disturbed or disconcerted. If you were perfectly aware that tomorrow morning, after a night of terribl…

SALVATION is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not of works, neither can it be procured by human merit. It is the free gift of God, through the atoning sacrifice of Christ, to every soul that believes. But what is salvation? Salvation is, in short, deli…

BEFORE the funeral at Norwood Cemetery of the late Mr. William Olney, senior deacon of the church at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, a service was held in the Tabernacle. The building was crowded with sympathizing friends who came to testify the affection they bo…

OUR Lord was addressing Himself to the unbelieving Jews. He told them that they had received abundant evidence of His being the sent one of God, but yet they had rejected Him, and He solemnly charged this home upon their consciences. If you read the passage at…

HERE was a case of extreme peril, in which there seemed to be no possibility whatever of any of the lives of nearly three hundred persons being preserved. In this emergency the apostle Paul resorted to prayer. We may avail ourselves of this privilege in the wo…

I MEAN to dwell mainly upon that expression, “Through faith.” I call attention, however, first of all, to the fountainhead of our salvation, which is the grace of God. “By grace are you saved.” Because God is gracious, therefore sinful men are forgiven, conver…

THE season is almost arrived when by the custom of our fellow-citizens we are led to remember the birth of the holy child Jesus, who was born “King of the Jews.” I shall not, however, conduct you to Bethlehem, but to the foot of Calvary, there we shall learn,…

IT is necessary that we read the whole story—“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead. And you know that your servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto…

WE desire this evening not to preach upon this text as a mere matter of doctrine. You all believe and understand the Gospel of justification by faith, but we want to preach upon it tonight as a matter of experience, as a thing realized, felt, enjoyed, and unde…
