“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers…” (1 Peter 1:1) Strangers! What makes the children of God so strange? The grace of God which calls them out of this wretched world. Every man who carries the grace of God in his bosom is necessarily, as regards the world, a stranger in heart, as well as in profession, and life. As Abraham was a stranger in the land of Canaan; as… Read More
Holiness of practice, what is it? It is not a set of feelings. It is a course of conduct, and it comprises several particulars, as first, abstention from the appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). Mix not with what appears to be wrong; ask not how far you can go in that which even the world blames. What moral, worldly men blame, should it not be eschewed by professing Christians? Where the… Read More
One very sad thing in this dark and degenerate day is that people (even professed believers) are becoming more and more tolerant of the errors of Roman Catholicism. Many errors might be mentioned but we have been appalled recently at the rapid spread of Mariolatry (idolatrous veneration of the virgin Mary). This is not only in Roman Catholicism, but also very much so in the Church of England. We deplore prayers for… Read More
This is the name which is above every name, the name that is so precious to every sinner saved by grace. The reason for its preciousness is because of its blessed suitability to meet our need as lost, ruined sinners. We have to say: “Here’s my claim, and here alone; None a Saviour more can need; Deeds of righteousness I’ve none; No, not one good work to plead.” We are not fond… Read More

Unless the trumpet give a certain sound, who is to prepare himself for the battle? I want no new doctrines, nor any new religion, as I want no fresh Bible and no new Lord; all I want is to live more daily in the sweet enjoyment of them, and to manifest more of their power in heart, lip and life. We are no longer young. Life is, as it were, slipping from… Read More
Sermon preached by J.K. Popham at Galeed, Brighton – 1910 __________________________________________________________ “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24) __________________________________________________________ This most glorious doctrine of the atonement the apostle utters almost in the same breath in which he has set forth Christ as an example to suffering… Read More

They were not to be surprised that they suffered; they… Read More
Elijah was an eminent servant of the most High God. Suddenly appearing by divine intervention, his opening words were: “The Lord God of Israel, before whom I stand.” And this was the keynote of the whole of his remarkable life and ministry. He had a single eye for the honour and glory of God, and he looked to Him alone to know His holy mind and will. It is men like this… Read More
The word “justify” means to make something just or right. You will probably come across the word in printing or word processing where words or numbers are all aligned or made straight together. To make a page tidy you would justify the writing to the left so that all the lines begin one underneath another. When you write a column of numbers to be added together, they will be justified to the… Read More
We live in a world of much rush, haste and bustle. Never has there been a time when people have seemed so busy and yet all this with a shorter working week and apparently more leisure time. Satan loves people to be so busy that they scarcely have time for a moment’s thought of eternal things in fact, not even a thought for the nobler things of this life. The word “SELAH”… Read More

The LORD, shortly before entering upon his sufferings, cautioned his apostles and the church of God down to the end of time against men who should presume to take upon them his great name, saying, “There shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24); and the apostle Paul, when about to suffer… Read More

“He will keep the feet of His saints.” (1 Samuel 2:9) The Lord sees His poor scattered pilgrims traveling through a valley of tears journeying through a waste – howling wilderness — a path beset with baits, traps, and snares in every direction. How can they escape? Why, the Lord ‘keeps their feet’. He carries them through every rough place — as a tender parent carries a little child. When about to… Read More
To the Editor of the “Gospel Standard.” Sir, As there is a belief held here and elsewhere by some who profess to love the truths advocated in the “G. S.,” that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Eternal Son of God is not vital or essential to the salvation of the elect, I would be glad to have your mind as to whether such belief is in accordance with the… Read More

My dear Friend, Mrs. Peake — I have been much occupied with writing, but I take the first opportunity of sending you a few lines to express my sympathy with you all under those trying afflictions which have fallen with so heavy a weight on those whom we so much esteem and love. I feel very much for you all, and especially for poor dear Eliza in her distressing bereavement, and the… Read More
My dear Mr. Copcutt — The United States is a wonderful country, and possesses in the largest abundance every natural gift of heaven. But unless God shows great mercy in the gifts of His grace, and raises up a people in your midst to fear His great name, all your wealth and power, and all the capabilities so largely possessed of furnishing everything in the shape of wealth and abundance, may only… Read More
My dear Friend, Joseph Parry — We can hardly expect to pass through life, and especially the latter stages of it, without trials and afflictions; for if they do not come in one shape, they will come in another. The Lord means to make us sick and weary of everything but Himself; and I believe that most of His people are made willing to depart before the final stroke comes. It is… Read More
My dear Friend, Mrs. Clowes — I desire sincerely to sympathize with you in your present deep trial and heavy affliction, and I wish that I could offer you some consolation, or at least some hope, under the weight of your trouble. But I know well that none can give you any support or consolation but the Lord Himself. And oh that He would kindly and graciously speak a word with power… Read More
My dear Afflicted and Widowed Friend, Mrs. Tanner—But for much occupation I would have written to you immediately that I received the tidings of your late beloved husband’s departure, that I might sympathize with you in your troubles and sorrows. I had heard of his illness, but was not aware until the day before he died that it was of so serious a nature. But now, poor dear man, he is released… Read More
My dear Friend, Joseph Parry — And so our dear and esteemed friend Joseph Tanner is entered into his eternal rest. For him there is no more pain or suffering, but an eternity of bliss and blessedness in the presence of God and the Lamb. We shall miss him greatly, especially you, who have lost in him, not only a valued and affectionate friend, but a choice and acceptable Supply. We shall… Read More
My dear Afflicted and Widowed Friend, Mrs. Clowes — I would have written to you before this to express my deep and affectionate sympathy with you under your distressing bereavement, if I had not thought it best to wait a little until the first gush of your sorrow had found vent. When sorrow is so very recent and so pressing, there is no room in the heart to receive any word from… Read More
My dear and esteemed Friend, Mrs. Peake — I am not surprised that our friend O. should feel as he does towards our dear departed brother Richard Healy, or wishes to put on permanent record those traits of Christian uprightness which he has mentioned. I will think over the subject, and as far as space admits, either in the next issue or at some other opportunity, will endeavor to record them in… Read More
My dear Friend, Joseph Parry — I have no doubt that you were shocked, though perhaps not surprised, at the tidings of poor Mrs. Healy’s death. The case indeed was hopeless from the first, and nothing could be looked for but a long suffering illness, of which death would be the close. At last she sank away, passing off quietly, and the last few days scarcely able to speak audibly or intelligibly…. Read More
My dear Friend, Thomas Godwin – I understand that you and Mrs. Godwin saw poor Mrs. Healy on your way to Leicester, and found her much altered. When we received the tidings of her death—though in some sense it came as a shock, as such tidings always do, yet I felt it to be a merciful release. There was nothing before her in this life but suffering and pain; and as one… Read More
Dear Mr. King—I am sorry that you should take the trouble of reading such books as that from which you have sent me an extract; especially as you acknowledge that the reading of it produced much hardness, barrenness, coldness, and deadness in your soul. Indeed to my mind the title of the book is itself sufficient to condemn it. Predestination as a divine truth is not to be calmly considered from principles… Read More

In 1st Corinthians chapter 10 God gave us these examples to warn us that we should not fall into the same sins of rebellion against those whom God has appointed to be our rulers. We read in 1 Corinthians 10:10-11, 1 Corinthians 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they… Read More
After several hours conversation with an Arminian upon the subject of salvation and heaven, I fell into a deep musing, my fancy took possession of me and flew away, and ere I was aware I was set down within the golden gates of the “Land of the Blessed.” No sooner did my imagination realize my whereabouts, than I set about to explore the long sought country. One of the first things that… Read More
“If there be a Messenger with him, an Interpreter, One among a thousand, to show unto man His uprightness: then He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom.” (Job 33:23-24) ———— THIS is a wonderful chapter of a very wonderful book. It forms part of a record of God’s dealings in grace and providence with a very remarkable man. Here… Read More
In Numbers 16 & 17 we have the story of the rebellion of Korah and his companions. And they were not alone: they had the support of 250 princes of the Congregation, men of renown. We also read here about Aaron’s Rod that Budded. What is so special about Aaron’s Rod that Budded? And what exactly was Korah’s rebellion? Well, from God’s perspective: Korah, Dathan and Abiram were lifting up themselves. Let’s… Read More
This is an audio sermon by Alfred J. Chompff titled: “The Thorns of This World” The scripture text that brother Alfred is preaching from is Luke 8:7-14, and the audio is 50 minutes long.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) THE epistle in which our text appears abounds in contrasts from the beginning to the end. The apostle, as led by the Holy Ghost, maintains this style of teaching in a striking, and telling manner. Turn with me to chap. 1:5. Here he contrasts the sufferings… Read More

1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Now, when it concerns sins the sky is the limit. But we need to learn how to focus. And so, let us look what took place in these ten verses. Which sins is God actually talking about?

Inquiry Messrs. Editors, Will you be kind enough to insert the following queries in your next periodical. 1st. Was the soul of Adam in his first created state mortal or immortal? Answer Most certainly immortal. 2nd. Did his soul die and become annihilated when he departed this life? Answer Who but an infidel could ask such a question?

Inquiry Dear Sir, Will you please favour us with your answer to the following very important inquiries through the “Standard,” and you will oblige a few of the Lord’s staggering children?

Does that passage, “Ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him,” have any reference to his case?… Read More
I HAVE had it laid upon my mind for a very long time to write a little of the LORD’s dealings with me, particularly when I have been reading the experiences of God’s people in the “G.S.” which I have much enjoyed, especially the Experience of Mr. H. Fowler; for I can truly say I have been in the same path. I will try and begin where God began with me. I… Read More
We are saved by grace – free grace, rich grace, sovereign grace, distinguishing grace – without one atom of works, without one grain of creature merit, without anything of the flesh. Oh! Sweet grace, blessed grace! Oh! What a help – what a strength – what a rest for a poor, toiling, striving, laboring soul -to find that grace has done all the work – to feel that grace has triumphed in… Read More

“Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.” (Psalm 35:3) —————————— You and I stand on the verge of an eternal world, and unless God himself say to the soul, “I am thy salvation,” we must eternally perish. The great body of professors of religion are quite satisfied in talking about or hearing of a salvation. They tell us what great salvation God has accomplished for us, if we will but close… Read More

To the heaven born children of God. Beloved of the Lord, It is your blessedness to prove, by the divine teaching of God the Holy Ghost, that God is Love – eternal, immutable Love. This precious truth you will not deny; but then you may often struggle under very deep depression of spirit and heart-rending groans, lest you should not be interested in this glorious Three-One God of love. It is not… Read More
Truth wrapped up in vague, general declaration is the sword in the scabbard which, as it wounds no conscience, so it pierces no error. Clear, plain, positive statements of divine truth are the two-edged sword which pierces even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit. This naked sword discovers the foundations of error unto the neck… Much that passes for union in a church is merely natural feeling of friendship and… Read More
