“The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.”(Psalm 45:13) The King’s daughter is all glorious within: — In this text we believe the King’s daughter has reference to the bride of Christ which is the church of the living God.

Note: The following is edited from a personal letter written to a young believer on March 4, 1969, and drafted into an article format. By particular redemption we mean that Christ’s death was to redeem the elect in particular; or, that Christ’s atonement was limited to the elect only. It makes sense, too. Notice these three alternative positions advanced by John Owen: We know that only sin carries a man to hell,… Read More
To believe that Jesus Christ died, or tasted death, for the entire race of Adam is very natural to the Universalists, or Arminians. In fact such a theory is in all men’s nature; for I often find myself trying to ride the “do better horse,” but he invariably throws me.

“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22:3) How many among you present have prayed that God might bless my speaking this evening?

Matthew chapter 23 is the infamous chapter where the Lord Jesus is publicly condemning the scribes and Pharisees for being hypocrites. Eight times does the Lord Jesus say in this chapter: “Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” This is not a friendly chapter in the Bible. Jesus was making many enemies when He preached these words. This is not a chapter from where most preachers would pick their sermon topic. How… Read More

God says it is an abomination to justify the wicked, and it is equal to declaring an innocent person guilty (Proverbs 17:15). God also says, “He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:” (Proverbs 24:24) It is not right for us to declare wicked people righteous. Again and again, God declares that we are sinners and then repeatedly forbids anyone to declare… Read More
“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.” (Proverbs 31:6) The wise mother of king Lemuel gave her son gracious directions when she spoke these words.

There is no other SAVIOUR but CHRIST to look to, no other MEDIATOR between God and men to make use of, no other PHYSICIAN of value for diseased and sin-sick souls to apply unto, no other FOUNTAIN but His blood for polluted souls to wash in and be cleansed, no other CITY OF REFUGE or stronghold for souls sensible of danger to flee unto and be safe, no other to come to… Read More
We intimated on the wrapper of our last October Number that it was in our mind to take up the above subject, as involving considerations hidden from the eyes of men of one idea, who only know what they have been taught by the precept of men, and as having also an important bearing on many points of divine truth. This pledge, therefore, we shall now attempt to redeem. Were it a… Read More

Some people pray proudly so as to be seen and heard of men. They do this under the guise of claiming it is their witness before men. Others pray repetitiously thinking persistence with God will wear Him down and finally pay off. They do this under the guise of faith. Some pray despairingly with tears confessing only their sins and no confidence in God’s grace in Christ. They do this under the… Read More

Job said, “Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; I go backward, but I cannot perceive Him.” (Job 23:8) “I GO FORWARD.” Frequently believers are overtaken with this fault; and in saying this, I speak for myself. We come to the conclusion that because God has given to us a sweet revelation of Himself and His word, therefore He is bound to reveal Himself, empower us, and crown our efforts… Read More
Solomon wrote God: “hath made every thing beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Setting “the world in their heart” means that God has implanted in the heart of each person an awareness of eternity, that this life is not the end. Some spend their lives… Read More
This article is titled, “The Gnostics”. One criticism that has been leveled at my sermons is this. They say: People are turned off from listening to my sermons because I dare to mention names of churches and names of denominations. They say: I should not have to mention names. I should just preach the truth, and after a while people will be able to recognize a false gospel because they have been… Read More

“What if God, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.” (Romans 9:22) We have been singing most glorious truths.
