Not Unto Us, But Unto Thy Name Alone be Glory!
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name.”—Psalm 29:2 God’s glory is the result of his nature and acts. He is glorious in his character, for there is such a store of everything that is holy, and good, and lovely in God, that he must be glorious. The actions which flow from his character are also glorious; but while he intends that they should manifest to his creatures his goodness, and mercy, and justice, ...

The Fountain of Gladness and Contentment Prayer Provides!
Though Christians of all people are thought to be selfless, what a tragic fact it is that most of us are so consumed with self and confidence in our self-absorbed kingdoms! And we go on in our pitiable lives of melancholy and depression seeking for even a sliver of light to cling upon. But why is it so? In your own life, dear believer? Has God suddenly ceased to become your Father? Has the Son ...

Arise, My soul, Arise, Shake Off Your Guilty Fears!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for ...

Soli Deo Gloria: Our Only Ambition
I wonder, how many Christians today can confess these words of Scripture: For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36) Of course it's not difficult a task to profess a precept, an idea, or a belief. But I wonder a deeper sense in regards to this issue. How many of us, who profess the name of Christ, can truly confess that In ...

Mark of True Saving Faith: Constant Daily Mortification of Sin
Woe to the believer who does not make mortification of sin his high priority in living. It is a betrayal of grace and a betrayal of the regenerating work of God and the atoning work accomplished by Christ to not submit oneself to this daily task of advancing in holiness and putting to death one's sins! In this excerpt, John Owen continues to discuss the relation of indwelling sin in light of the New Nature given ...

What Kind of Faith Believes in Damning Sin Yet Lives in It?
There are many professors of Christ today whose profession are undone by the lives the live. Many are excellent Christians in the Sunday meeting, or when amongst believers, but how do they fare in secret? Oh, how lamentable is this fact in the lives of many. Better they be openly unbelieving than heap condemnation upon their heads by heralding a false profession, a false faith. But we should take leave from examining others and take heed ...

If You Do Not Be Killing Sin, Be Sure, It Will Be Killing You
It seems to be a common occurrence within the Christian world wherein bondage to different forms of sin is the mark of the faith of many. Though perhaps most don't have more pronounced besetting-sins as others the mere consideration of the thought that the majority of professors are in bondage to sin is very worrying. As disciples and a people who profess the name of Christ, this must not be so. Why is it then so? ...

Called to Suffer with Him, Die with Him and be Raised with Him
Is there purpose in suffering? If there is, what is the ultimate purpose of suffering? What is the overarching reason for suffering in the lives of believers? Is conformity to the image of the Lord Christ Jesus the ultimate end? As glorious a grace it is for God to be patient with His people to work death in them that spiritual life in them may be given greater life, I'm convinced that it pales in comparison ...
