There seems nothing to promise better things. There is no effort, no struggle upwards. Hope is lost.II. Such a revival is... read more

Ezekiel 37:11-13Therefore prophesy and say unto them, thus saith the Lord God; behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.Despair denounced and grace glorifiedI. A true word: “They say, our bones are dried.”1. Observe, first, that they describe themselves as dead, as dried, and as divided. These people spoke of their bones, and therefore conceived of themselves as dead; and so the sinner may without,... read more
