[Another sermon by C. H. Spurgeon upon the first clause of verse seven is #2870, Revelation and Conversion] WHAT I have to say this evening will really be an exposition of the whole psalm, I have only selected these three verses for the convenience of having a…

PUBLICANS or tax-gatherers among the Jews were objects of intense aversion. The nation was always restless under the Roman yoke, for the Israelite’s pride of lineage made him boast that he was born free, and was never in bondage unto any man. Moreover, they ha…

WE are far too apt to entertain hard thoughts of God. The horrible atheism of our depraved nature continually quarrels with the Most High, and when we are under His afflicting hand, and things go cross to our will, the evil of our nature becomes sadly evident.…

GODLY men in olden times felt God to be very near them and they attributed everything they saw in nature to the direct operation of His hand. They were not accustomed to speak of “the laws of matter,” “the operation of natural forces” and “the outcome of diver…

THE text is wholly taken up with three things, namely, with knowing, with believing, and with the person who is known and believed, and upon both the knowing and the believing Paul is very decided.

HARDNESS of heart is a great and grievous evil. It exists not only in the outside world, but in many who frequent the courts of the Lord’s house. Beneath the robes of religion many carry a heart of stone. It is more than possible to come to baptism and the sac…

THE world is growing very old, dull and commonplace. One takes the newspaper and often after glancing through it, has to say, “There is really nothing in it.” The reason probably being that there is nothing fresh or new happening on the earth—it is the same ol…

THE previous verse tells us that “after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.” It was expedient for His disciples that He should go away, and He had gone to the best place for helping them in their work.…

THERE are frequently great difficulties in identifying the persons of men, even when they have been distinctly seen. Our police courts have given us, during the last few weeks, most serious evidence that men may be utterly deceived as to the identity of indivi…

BACKSLIDERS are very many. Departing from the living God is no strange thing. Every church has to lament many that turn aside. In fact, it has become so common in many churches that they have not faith enough to hold to the Scriptural doctrine of the persevera…

THE second temple was never intended to be as magnificent as the first. The first was to be the embodiment of the full glory of the dispensation of symbols and types—and was soon to pass away.

(This text has been sent us by a venerable clergyman of the Church of England, who has for many years selected a new year’s text for us and others of his friends. In the calm enjoyment of divine consolations, such as this verse affords, may his last days pass…

I WOULD have you note, beloved friends, at the outset, how this man of God, in the hour of conflict, looks to his divine protector. He does not run about to consult with friends, nor does he set himself down to digest his bitter sorrow in solitude, but he gets…

THE Holy Spirit is the third person in the covenant. We have considered “God in the Covenant” and “Christ in the Covenant” [See sermons #93, God in the Covenant and #103 Christ in the Covenant. Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon, on various aspects of The Covenant…

PAUL had spoken of the liberality of the Corinthian believers and he had endeavored to stir them up to a prudent preparation for displaying it. “Now therefore” said he, “perform the doing of it, that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performa…

OUR blessed Lord made intercession for transgressors in so many words while He was being crucified, for He was heard to say, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” It is generally thought that He uttered this prayer at the moment when the nail…

THE habit of numbering our days is a very admirable one. To do it rightly a man needs to be taught of God, and if we have not been so taught, it is well to offer the prayer, “So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Some men nu…

MANY years ago, and indeed in some measure to a later date, preachers of the Word seemed mainly to dwell upon the inner experience of men. They both preached sermons and wrote books in which they set forth the condition of convinced sinners, describing what th…

SONS of men, rejoice that such a God has revealed Himself to you! This should cause a universal Hallelujah, the whole world over, as soon as ever it is heard. “He delighteth in mercy.” Clap your hands, and rejoice before Him, yea, exceedingly rejoice!

AFTER I had fallen down at Mentone, and was grievously ill, a brother in Christ called upon me and said, “My dear friend, you have now come to Marah.” I replied, “Yes, and the waters are bitter.” He then said, “But Marah is better than Elim, for in Elim the Is…

I SHALL not dwell so much upon this particular instance of the disciples’ unbelief as upon the fact that the Lord Jesus upbraided them because of it. This action of His shows us the way in which unbelief is to be treated by us. As our loving Savior felt it rig…

THIS is not and could not be the language of a mere man. It would be utterly absurd for any man to say that he would have gathered the inhabitants of a city together, “even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings.” Besides, the language implies that fo…

THESE two texts will be to me as a bow and a sword, the first for shooting the arrows of truth, and the second for close quarters in dealing with individual consciences. You will see the reason for the pair of texts as we proceed. May the Holy Spirit make use…

NOTE, dear friends, that the psalm begins with this remarkable expression, “Out of the depths I have cried unto thee, O LORD,” and I call your special attention to that utterance of the psalmist because there are many who are afraid to pray when they are in th…
