Prayer And Judgment
God has put it into my heart to speak about a very sad incident in the life of King David. I mean the time when the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. God permitted Satan to lead David into sin. It is a very solemn way in which God executes judgment. When God’s people do not live up to the full measure of their light and opportunity, they are in danger of getting into darkness. The Lord Jesus said, “Take heed that the light that is in you be not darkness, because if that light become darkness how … Read More >

Reformation And Regeneration
Helpful for the Sunday school lesson for September 19, 1920. All reformation is after the pattern of Matthew 12:43, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.” When one form of amusement is cut off from the wicked-doer, he immediately sets about to find another set; when one mudhole is denied the pig, he immediately proceeds to find another. By law men have tried to make men keep Sunday. Their first purpose was that men might go to church, but, though we have more Sunday enforcement than the … Read More >

When We Are Forgiven
Whether we were brought up in a strict home or a lenient home, we all have a conscience. And there’s nothing we can do about the stain of sin upon our conscience. Time will never obliterate our sin. We need God to do that for us. The story of David is well-known; he committed adultery with Bathsheba. She became pregnant, and then he had her husband, Uriah, killed. For a while, David thought his sin was covered, that he had done what he needed to do to get out of the mess and salvage his reputation. But the cover-up didn’t … Read More >

Helping The Helpless
“But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy), I say unto thee, Arise and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.” —Luke 5:24 Here is a story of the helping of the helpless. This man was absolutely helpless, and the sinner is absolutely helpless. The great trouble with men today in dealing with God is that they feel that somehow they can help themselves, and there is no help for them. The sinner is a helpless man. If there had been … Read More >

What Have You Done With Jesus' Clothes?
“And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.” —Mark 15:24 The Roman soldiers at the foot of the cross of Calvary, shook dice to see which was the lucky man to win the different garments of the crucified Christ. You must remember that God has garments, that God has clothed Himself as with a garment. To God the sun is a sparkling gem upon His finger, the stars are wonderful pearls about his neck, the Earth covered with its vegetation and water is but the garment that God slips … Read More >

How Pontius Pilate Lost His Soul
“Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat … Read More >

Modernism In The Balance
I speak of rank modernism. There are varying degrees of this heresy. Some so-called modernists, who are in the drift from the truth, but have not landed in the extreme camp of modernism, would deny the following; but if they will keep on drifting in their preaching and teaching they will practically, sooner or later, confirm what is said below: 1. Modernism in the character of Jesus substitutes “divine” for “deity.” This is a Unitarian position. The true Gospel says that Jesus is very God of very God. He who denies the deity of Jesus, and compliments Him with being … Read More >

The Undefiled In The Way
“Blessed are the undefiled in the way.”—Psalm 119:1 This 119th Psalm starts out with the word “blessed.” This word in the Word of God is worthy of our study. In a worldly sense, we associate it with the thought of a man whom we describe as “A lucky fellow,” “A fortunate man.” Some men seem to succeed in whatever they undertake, they have the ability to do things better than other men and the world calls them lucky. The Scripture, however, never speaks of a lucky man or a fortunate one, but it says much about a blessed man. Taking … Read More >

Covered Sin
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy” Proverbs 28:13. I like the “shalls” of the Bible, for they mean just what they say. Oh! That we might learn to take God at His word and know that when He says “shall” He means just that thing; nothing more and nothing less. A man says, “I shall do so and so,” but a hundred things may happen to prevent him carrying out his word, but not so with God, who says, “All power in heaven and in earth is given unto … Read More >

Greater Grace Or The Believer's Unfailing Supply
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” —2 Corinthians 9:8 Peter writes about “exceeding great and precious promises” by which we are made partakers of the divine nature. I think the text we have chosen surely comes under that classification. Not only have we great promises, but they are exceeding great and exceeding precious. The saints who are growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth see more and more as the days go by the perfectness and greatness … Read More >
