Do you pray, dear reader? Or is prayer to you a harsh taskmaster that you labor with all your might to avoid? I know it was once for me. Prior to conversion whatever attempts at prayer I had were prayers that are empty of desire, of longing, of love to God. But when God saves ...

It is every believer's cross to bear the struggle and battle against sin as we labor and desire to live holy unto God. But little emphasis is given today on the ordained means by God to accomplish such a task in the life of a Christian. He that works sanctification in us is God in ...

What does it mean to be an "evangelical"? What does it mean to be part of an "evangelical church" or community? Is it just a word of preference or a mere Christian social subset?How sad it is to observe, especially in this post-modern era, that the rank and standard of evangelicalism has all but lost ...

Dear Christian, are you in the midst of affliction and severe trial this day? Frightened and dejected in fear? Look up, God is with you still! You are tightly grasped in the hands of Omnipotence!“Our heart shall rejoice in Him.”—Psalm 33:21 Blessed is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble ...

Today is an era filled with well-meaning ministers who profess a great love for Christ, His Gospel and His people. Yet these same ministers, save for the precious few which Christ preserves in faithful ministry, do nothing but trample what they seek to exalt underfoot. They seek to speak of good things, of a wonderful ...

I have gone back time and again to this compilation of John Owen's three works on killing sin (Edited by Kelly M. Kapic and Justin Taylor: Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers, Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of It, Indwelling Sin) but was never able to completely and exhaustively finish the book. So ...

What is Resolved?Resolved means what it sounds like: it’s a deliberate, committed disposition.As a 19-year old in the mid-1700s, Jonathan Edwards became serious about the direction of his life. He began to understand the nature of God, and what he discovered was both delightful and disturbing. The more he investigated the ...

Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin; How shall my tongue describe it, Where shall its praise begin? Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.Refrain: Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me. Broader than the scope of my transgressions, Greater far ...

Heavenly Father, if I should suffer need, and go unclothed, and be in poverty, make my heart prize Thy love, know it, be constrained by it, though I be denied all blessings.It is Thy mercy to afflict and try me with wants, for by these trials I see my sins, and desire severance from them. ...

It is human nature to fear death, to dread even the thought of death. But for a Christian, I think there are only a precious few subjects that would delight the soul other than the prospect of death. But sadly, and quite tragically, many of us, even those who count themselves in Christ, see death ...

Dear reader, do you pray? It is one thing for a person to say their prayer, but it is altogether another thing to pray. Do you know what it means to commune with God? To abase all of self before the foot of the Throne of grace? Oh, we speak much of "men of prayer" ...
