"For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?" 1 Corinthians 14:8 We need a more certain sound about personal holiness. I fear that the standard of holy living is lower just now than it has been for many years. Professing Christians seem unable to realize that there is anything inconsistent in ball-going, theater-going, gambling, card-playing, excessive dressing, novel-reading, and an incessant round of gaiety and amusements! The distance and gap between the church and the world has completely erased. In other word, the line between the Church and the world seems completely effaced and forgotten! A crucified life of self-denial and close walking with God, a life of real devotedness and zeal for holy living--is hardly ever to be seen!  Yet surely our Lord meant something when He spoke of "taking up the cross!" Surely Paul meant something when he said,   "Come out from among them and be separate!"   "Be no

"For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground. Yet man is born to trouble--as surely as sparks fly upward!" Job 5:6-7 "Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows!" John 16:33 Sin has introduced great misery and universal disorder into the world! No person, however obscure, or eminent or educated--can stand invulnerable against the arrows of adversity. It is, however, the peculiar privilege of a godly man, that though, alike with others, he partakes of the sufferings of humanity--yet he sees a wise hand directing every event, and rendering all subservient to a grand and glorious end. He desires to learn the noble lessons of patience and submission, while his heart glows with gratitude to Him to whom he is indebted for every comfort he enjoys, and without whose permission he knows no evil can transpire! Whoever considers the manifold calamities to which mankind are exposed in the present state, must feel some emo

By the grace of God I am what I am "By the grace of God I am what I am!" 1 Corinthians 15:10 "For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?" 1 Corinthians 4:7 God's Grace guides us everyday. It is blessings of God for us to be a lover of God. It is not giving us permission to live a life of lawlessness. some people who believe the doctrines of sovereign grace often act inconsistently with their own principles--when they are angry at the defects of others. For example, a company of travelers fall into a pit; one of them gets a passerby to draw him out. Now he should not be angry with the rest for falling in; nor because they are not yet out, as he is. He did not pull himself out. Instead, therefore, of reproaching them--he should show them pity. In the same way, a truly saved man will no more despise others--than blind Bartimaeus, after his own eyes were opened, would take a stick and beat every blind man

Regeneration Regeneration  is  that miracle of Divine grace wrought in the soul  . . .      which enlists the affections Godward,    which brings the human will into subjection to the Divine,   and which produces a real and radical change in the life.  That change is from worldliness--to godliness; from disobedience--to obedience.  At the new birth, the love of God is shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit, and that love is manifested in a dominating longing and sincere purpose to please in all things, the One who has plucked me as a brand from the burning. There is a greater difference between the genuine Christian and the deceived professing Christian--than there is between a living man and a corpse. None need remain in doubt, if they will honestly measure themselves by the Holy Word of God. Ah, dear readers, the test is  fruit!  Not knowledge, not boastings, not orthodoxy, not joy--but fruit; and such "fruit" as mere nature cannot produce. It is the fruit of the

His mercy is a boundless, fathomless, endless ocean! "You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive--and abundant in mercy to all who call upon You." Psalm 86:5 What a beautiful representation of God is this! How comforting, at the close of another day's cares and troubles, sorrows and sins--to be reminded that our "God is good," and especially that He is "ready to forgive"--ready to pardon all the faults and follies of this day--ready to pass them by, and still treat me as His beloved child! He only requires me to confess and be sorry for my sins--and in a moment, all is forgiven, all is forgotten, and forgotten forever! Then He is "abundant in mercy." The fountain of His mercy has not yet run dry. Run dry! It is not in the least diminished! His mercy is a boundless, fathomless, endless ocean! God has plenty of mercy for miserable sinners . . .   mercy to pardon them,   mercy to purify them,   mercy to comfort them,   mercy to s
