SO then, heaven, with all its glories, is an inheritance ! Now, an inheritance is not a thing which is bought with money, earned by labor, or won by conquest. If any man has an inheritance, in the proper sense of that term, it came to him by birth. It was not…

“OH what shall I do, my Savior to praise?” Where shall language be found which shall describe His matchless, His unparalleled love towards the children of men. Upon any ordinary subject one may find liberty of speech and fullness of utterance, but this subject…

WE commenced the services in this place by the declaration that here Christ shall be preached. Our brother who followed us expressed his joy that Christ was preached, herein he did rejoice, yea, and would rejoice. And our friends must have observed, how, throu…

WE preach with words, God preaches to us in acts and deeds. If we would but perceive it, creation and providence are two continual sermons, streaming from the mouth of God. The seasons are four evangelists, each of them having his testimony to utter to us. Doe…

OUR God is one God. He is none other than the infinite JEHOVAH, who of old spoke unto His people, and revealed Himself by that marvelous incommunicable name—the name JEHOVAH! And yet though He is one God, we are taught in Scripture that He is one God in three…

THIS prophecy, first of all, refers to the Jewish people, and I am happy that it confirms our hearts in the belief of the good which the Lord will do unto Israel. We know of a surety, because God has said it, that the Jews will be restored to their own land, a…

You will be surprised to hear me announce that I do not intend this morning to say anything about the Holy Spirit as the Comforter. I propose to reserve that for a special Sermon this evening [See Sermon #5, The Comforter]. In this discourse, I shall endeavor…

WANT of understanding has destroyed many. The dark pit of ignorance has engulfed its thousands.

WHEN Satan had been entirely worsted in his conflict with Christ in the garden, the man-devil Judas came upon the scene. As the Parthian in his flight turns round to shoot the fatal arrow, so the arch-enemy aimed another shaft at the Redeemer, by employing the…

DO not imagine for an instant that I pretend to be able to thoroughly elucidate the great mysteries of predestination. There are some men who claim to know all about the matter. They twist it round their fingers as easily as if it were an everyday thing, but d…

IN reading through the prophetical books, you must have been struck at their singular variety. On looking a little more closely, you have at once perceived that every prophet has a manner and style peculiarly his own. Although God speaks through them all, yet…

IT would be difficult to say to which the Gospel owes most to its friends or to its enemies. It is true that by the help of God, its friends have done much for it. They have preached it in foreign lands, they have dared death, they have laughed to scorn the te…

THIS was a home stroke. When the children of Israel had bloodthirsty thoughts towards their brethren of Judah, the prophet very earnestly dissuaded them. “Why deal ye so sternly with your brethren who are in your power, simply because they have sinned. Smite t…

THIS was the reasoning of Bildad the Shuhite. He wished to prove that Job could not possibly be an upright man, for if he were so, he here affirms that his prosperity would increase continually, or that if he fell into any trouble, God would awake for him, and…

IF it be true that “Order is heaven’s first law,” I think it must be equally true that variety is the second law of heaven. The line of beauty is not a straight line, but always the curve. The way of God’s procedure is not uniform, but diversified. You see thi…

MOSES could not conduct the people into the promised land. Nor can the law bring any man to heaven. The law may lead a man out of the Egypt of his sin, and it may bring him into the wilderness of conviction; there it may provide him with food, and nourish him…

VERILY if the apostle said this, one and all of us had need take up the prayer. If the twelve mightiest in the army of the Lord of hosts had need of such a supplication, what shall we say who are but the interior soldiers—the feeblest saints? If you hope to wi…

THERE is a weighing time for kings and emperors and all the monarchs of earth, albeit some of them have exalted themselves to a position in which they appear to be irresponsible to man. Though they escape the scales on earth, they must surely be tried at the b…

OUR first business tonight will be briefly to explain the metaphor employed in the text. The prophet was told that despite all the reproofs he was instructed to deliver, and notwithstanding the eloquent earnestness of his lips, which had been just touched with…

POSSIBLY objections might have been raised to a day of thanksgiving for the abundant harvest if it had been ordered or suggested by government. Certain brethren are so exceedingly tender in their consciences upon the point of connection between church and stat…

YOU will remember that for several years I have received my morning’s text for the first Sabbath in the year from an esteemed brother, a clergyman of the Church of England. This year he very kindly sends me this verse, which I hope will be useful to us all, re…

IN reading this passage, does it ever fail to charm you? How full of beauty, and how full of poetry it is! Every word is a figure. Fair flowers that adorn, and corn that enriches the fields, the olive tree and the vine, the scent of the wine of Lebanon, and al…

THE apostle Paul knows of only two classes of men—natural and spiritual. Before his eyes all other distinctions are extinguished. Barbarian or Scythian, bond or free, male or female, circumcision or uncircumcision—all these varieties among men are mere acciden…

GOD has many methods of quenching persecution. He will not suffer His church to be injured by its enemies or overwhelmed by its foes. And He is not short of means for turning aside the way of the wicked or of turning it upside down. In two ways He usually acco…
