THERE is a narrow path between indifference and morbid sensibility. Some men seem to feel no holy anxiety. They place their Master’s talent in the earth, leave it there, and take their pleasure and their ease without a moment’s compunction. Others profess to b…

THERE are different stages in the sinner’s history and they are worth marking in the prodigal’s experience. There is, first, the stage in which the young man sought independence from his father. The younger son said, “Father, give me the portion of goods that…

HERE we have no far-fetched statement: it belongs to everyday life. Those now present who believe can verify it on the spot! As believers they can tell us whether the Lord Jesus is precious to them or not.

AMONG US in this day we have many persons who are like Thomas—dubious, demanding signs and tokens, suspicious, and oftentimes sad. I am not sure that there is not a slight touch of Thomas in most of us. There are times and seasons when the strong man fails, an…

IS the Lord your God? I must put this question very pointedly to you at the onset, otherwise I shall not be speaking to you in expounding the words of my text. Were I to address the ungodly and the unconverted, and say to them, “Keep God’s commandments,” they…

WE cannot too often turn our thoughts heavenward, for this is one of the great cures for worldliness .

THE Thessalonians had been a good deal fluttered by certain persons who had said that the coming of the Lord was immediately at hand. Paul therefore bade them be steadfast, and not be worried and perplexed by any such teaching, and then he presented this praye…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is #2271, Alone, Yet Not Alone] “Do ye now believe?” Then it seems that faith held them fast to Christ, but as soon as fear prevailed, they were scattered and left their Master alone. Faith has an attracting a…

YOU notice, dear friends, in reading this verse, the “not only so” and the “also,” and if you look back to the earlier verses of the chapter, you will see that there is a continual rising, as of one ascending a golden staircase. You get an “also” and a “not on…

WHEN David wrote this part of the psalm he was evidently beset by many enemies who sought to destroy him, and it is exceedingly important to note what part of himself he guarded with the most care.

THIS is placed in connection with a large number of brief, but very weighty precepts. Prayer has a distinct relationship to all Christian duties and graces. It is not possible for us to carry out the holy commands of our Lord Jesus unless we are abundant in su…

THE chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to lay hold upon the Savior, lest His preaching should altogether overthrow their power. While the constables who had mingled with the throng were waiting for an opportunity of arresting the Lord Jesus, they themse…

OUR text is a long one, but we must have it all in order to get the sense of the passage, so as to contrast the two wilderness incidents which are here mentioned, and to learn how we may use them to our own spiritual profit.

IN the 102 nd psalm, the believer likens himself to an owl, and in the 103 rd psalm, in almost the parallel verse, he is compared to an eagle. What a blessing it is that the saints of God, in the olden times, were moved by the Holy Spirit to write down their e…

IT is some time since I have known what it is to be at leisure. One’s time from morning till night is occupied in different departments of the Master’s service, and it has been peculiarly troublesome to me during the last week to be compelled to spend many hou…

PREVIOUS verses at the close of the forty-first chapter indicate the utter failure of the hope of man from man. God Himself looked, and behold “there was no man; even among them, and there was no counselor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.” How…

IF YOU were to find honey in a tree, and should wish to give some of it to your friends, I canimagine you cautiously taking it up in your hands, carrying it very carefully; and yet when you reached the company, you would find to your sorrow a large part of it…

MY discourse on Sunday mornings is very frequently the gathering up of the thoughts and experiences of the week—a handful of barley which I have gleaned among the sheaves. But I could not thrust upon you this morning the poverty-stricken productions of my own…

IT is the firm belief of almost all Christian people that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, before He left the earth, instituted two ordinances, namely, baptism and the Lord’s supper—ordinances which were to be observed by His disciples throughout every age on…

OUR Lord Jesus Christ while He was here below was continually in the pursuit of lost souls. He was seeking lost men and women, and it was for this reason that He went down among them, even among those who were most evidently lost, that He might find them. He t…

PAUL was a very determined man, and whatever he undertook he carried out with all his heart.
Charles Spurgeon • May 23, 1869
THE dangers which attend the spiritual life are of the most appalling character. The life of a Christian is a series of miracles. See a spark living in mid ocean, see a stone hanging in the air, see health blooming in a leper colony, and the snow-white swan am…

IT was raining very heavily this afternoon at four o’clock when I was thinking over this text. The sharp crack of the thunder and the quick flash of the lightning seemed to be constant where I sat. When I came here, I found that you had not had a drop of rain,…

EZEKIEL’S wife died. His heart was bleeding, but he received orders from his divine Master that he should not mourn, nor weep, nor make any sign of mourning whatever. It was a strange command, but he obeyed it. The people understood that Ezekiel was a prophet…
