Motto For the New Year: “Look Up!”
"Look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!" Luke 21:28 We are entering upon a new year, we shall have new toils, new trials, new temptations, and new troubles. In whatever state, in whatever place, into whatever condition we may be brought this year--let us seek grace to follow our Lord's loving advice, and "look up!" Do not look back--as Lot's wife did. Do not look within—as too many do. Do not look around—as David did. But "look up!" Look up to ...

Thy Presence Alone Can Make Me Holy
O God, Most high, most glorious, the thought of Thine infinite serenity cheers me, for I am toiling and moiling, troubled and distressed, but Thou art for ever at perfect peace. Thy designs cause thee no fear or care of unfulfilment, they stand fast as the eternal hills. Thy power knows no bond, Thy goodness no stint. Thou bringest order out of confusion, and my defeats are Thy victories: The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. I come to Thee as a sinner ...

II.—To a Christian Gentlewoman on the death of her daughter. CHRIST’S SYMPATHY WITH, AND PROPERTY IN US—REASONS FOR RESIGNATION Mistress —My love in Christ remembered to you. I was indeed sorrowful at my departure from you, especially since ye were in such heaviness after your daughter’s death.

Reading the Writings of a Man Acclimated with the Rapturous Loveliness of Christ
In the past few days I have been exposed to quotes and excerpts from the writings of the 16th century Scottish reformer, Samuel Rutherford. I was brought at a wonder, for scarcely have I ever read expressions of heavenly delights from the pen of men, as similar as he was to myself, in desperate need for grace. And yet with much grace and wisdom, he would lift up gems and precious stones from the pages of ...

More Than a “Calvinist”; More Than “Calvinism”
A theoretical knowledge of Scripture truth without it being applied to the human life is as useless as royal garments on rotting flesh. If knowledge produces little love for Christ, little compassion for those who are His, then better be dumb with a mere two talents while being faithful to it. The only theology worth believing, worth studying worth giving one's life toward is that which thrusts us to a life of perpetual doxology. To be ...

Do You Know Why You Cannot Forgive?
One of my favorite blogs to read is "Tolle Lege". If you haven't visited their site, please do visit it and subscribe to their RSS feed as I have. Once again I have been abased by the cutting and glorious truth that they have shared, as I share too with you here below. The reason we live in a lifestyle of unforgiveness, even a lifestyle of unrepentance, is because "We Forget". A lifestyle of unforgiveness is ...
