WHATEVER the statement of James may be, it could never have been his intention to contradict the Gospel. It could never be possible that the Holy Spirit would say one thing, in one place, and another in another. Statements of Paul and of James must be reconcil…

JOHN had hardly begun to deliver his message to the seven churches. He had hardly given in his name and stated from whom the message came, when he felt that he must lift up his heart in a joyful doxology. The very mention of the name of the Lord Jesus, “the fa…

IN those good old times, when preachers did not grow weary, though they discoursed for three hours at a stretch, and when congregations were not given to slumber, even under such long discourses, the preacher had ample time not only to dilate upon the doctrine…

GOD surrounds His children on all sides—they dwell in Him. The passage before us shows that the Lord is above, for we read, “There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rides upon the heaven to help you, and in His excellence on the sky.” Assuredly He is…

IT is supposed in our text that men might commit forbidden things without knowing it. Nay, it is not merely supposed, but it is taken for granted and provided for. The Levitical law had special statutes for sins of ignorance, and one of its sections begins wit…

WHAT a blow this is for our pride! Then, God’s children are pitiable objects, notwithstanding that He has crowned them with glory and honor, has given them perfection in Christ Jesus, has breathed into them the breath of spiritual life, has set their feet upon…

HERE we see the apostle Paul disappointed, though he was never discontented. God had taught him how to abound, and how to suffer need. In the school of grace he had learned contentment, but at this time he had met with disappointment. Things had not happened a…

THROUGHOUT this psalm David is laboring under the fear that he should be judged and condemned with the ungodly world. He feels in his own heart that he is not one with the enemies of God, and he shudders lest having hated their society on earth he should be sh…

THUS Reuben reminded his brethren of his admonition concerning Joseph—thus would I address you with regard to your own children.

THIS exhortation is not addressed to all who are here present. It is only addressed to those who “are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.” It is, in fact, addressed only to the true Christian, who has passed from death unto…

ALL through this thrice-blessed chapter man cuts a very sorry figure. Whoever it is that speaks, whether it is Philip, or Judas, or Thomas, each one displays his own ignorance, either by asking an unwise question or by making a mistaken request. Yet, brethren,…

THIS, beloved friends, is one of the most memorable of our Lord’s many visits to His disciples after He had risen from the dead. Each one of these appearances had its own peculiarity. I cannot at this time give you even an outline of the special colorings whic…

YOU lift up your eyes and you behold the stars. Surely, it is no idle imagination that these heavenly lights are distant worlds, but they are entirely separated from the inhabitants of this globe. You may peer at them through the telescope as long as you will,…

FROM several quarters we have heard lately intensely earnest objections to the matter and tenor of the preaching of the evangelists from America, who have been working among us. Of course, their teaching, as well as our own, is open to honest judgment, and the…

JOSEPH was altogether an extraordinary person; he was a young man of great personal beauty, and he exhibited also a lovely character, full of gentleness, kindness, and truth. The grace of God had made him as beautiful in mind as nature had made him handsome in…

WE have not time this evening to enter into the question as to where this quotation came from. There does not appear to be one exactly like it in the compass of the Old Testament. But we must remember that the apostle very frequently quotes the spirit of texts…

THIS chapter gives us a very delightful picture of the companionship and kindly intercourse which were kept up between our Savior and His twelve disciples when He dwelt with them in this world.

TO my mind, it is very instructive to notice how Paul quotes from the prophets. The revelation of the mind of God in the Old Testament helps us to understand the Gospel revealed in the New Testament.

THE apostle was anxious to stir up the Corinthian church to liberality. They were a church of very great talents. They were an unusually gifted church, so that they were able to maintain in their midst a form of worship which is not often maintained, and could…

A TRUE-HEARTED believer does not live for himself. Where there is abundance of grace and great strength of mind in the service of God, there is sure to be a spirit of unselfishness. It was so with Daniel, who was a model man in the matter of decision of charac…

TWICE Israel has come back from captivity, once when the tribes came out of Egypt, and the Lord led them through the wilderness, and again when they returned from banishment in Babylon, and the Lord restored them to their land. A third return some of us believ…
