The Expositions in this volume were originally given as Sunday morning lectures. They are printed in deference to the wishes of members of my congregation, who, finding them helpful when first delivered, desire to possess them in more permanent form. They do not lay claim to any originality. I have...

It is in the power of events to alter the perspective of our beliefs. A change of circumstances often results in a change of emphasis in our creeds. What was once background—only vaguely felt and understood—owing to some transformation of conditions, leaps suddenly into the foreground and becomes...

THE following Lectures on the World, the Visible Church, and the People of God, contain the substance of three Sermons preached in the Advent season of last year. They were written, and even committed to the press with the full expectation that our happy connexion would long remain unbroken. But it...

Whenever John’s account of the sequence of events differs from the account given by the Synoptics, my own inclination is always to accept John’s account as the more accurate. For John wrote his Gospel last, when the three other Gospels were already widely known throughout the Church; and I cannot...

“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy...

I observed a lively exhortation to prayer, for the Jews, in the Evangelical Magazine for January, which led me to enquire into the best means to promote a spirit of prayer on their behalf.   I found, upon searching into the Prophechies relating to the Restoration of Israel, my heart...

I ASK your attention to that tremendous theme, the Holy Trinity, and I am going to read, not exactly as a text but as a starting point, the most frequently quoted text in the Bible. I do not think there can be any question as to what that text is. In tens of thousands of churches in this and other...

The Lord Jesus appointed one particular thing for Christians to do in this age,—the good news of His saving grace is to be preached to every creature. This ministry is not committed to His Church: it is committed to the individuals who form His Church. Nor is it committed to the “clergy”: it...

Every once in a while we receive an inquiry or a request for help on this subject, usually from one who has come into contact with some belonging to a cult which gives prominence to “Divine healing,” to the removal of physical ills without the aid of a doctor and medicine, in response to faith...

One thing more is to be added: that such as he is here, such he is in his other pieces. So that thou hast here, reader, a specimen of the strain and spirit of this holy man, this being his familiar and ordinary way of preaching, and these sermons coming out first, not as if they were the nonsuch of...

THE subject has, I presume, been chosen for our discussion, in order to meet the aspersions of those who claim for their own system the merit of breadth, comprehensiveness, and large-heartedness, while they speak of our Gospel as the narrow-minded theology of a body of men whose contracted intellects...

THE profession of infidelity is very common in our day. I am constantly meeting with those who give as their reason for not being Christians that they do not believe in the Bible. There are many preachers, most excellent and gifted men, who think that infidelity is not worthy of attention, that the...

C. I. Scofield, the editor of the Scofield Bible, and a man of superior ability as a lawyer in his own community, became “a little child” in simplicity of faith in God, and the acceptance of “HIS SON” JESUS CHRIST, as his Saviour and Lord. He had described himself, before his conversion,...

I am very sure, dear friends, that with me you have been singing the doxology in your hearts as we have been listening to these wonderful testimonies of Mr. Hadley and Mr. Monroe and Mr. Reed, and I have a fear that what I shall say may sound somewhat tame after these words to-night; but it is just...
