Sermons & Devotionals by Arthur Pink

His Presence Arthur Pink January, 1948 "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:20 In their first and primary sense, those words are addressed to the ministers of Christ, the ones (and the only ones) He has called, commissioned, and qualified to preach His Gospel,...

Anxiety Arthur Pink, 1935 "In nothing be anxious" (Phil. 4:6) Worrying is as definitely forbidden as theft . This needs to be carefully pondered and definitely realized by us, so that we do not excuse it as an innocent infirmity . The more we are convicted of the sinfulness of anxiety , the sooner a...

Unpardonable Sin Arthur Pink, 1935 We feel that a separate though brief word on this subject needs to be added to what we said in the Hebrews' article ( December , 1934 issue). The particular point we are here concerned with is to remove any possible misconception from the mind of the reader as to w... Read More

Divine Inspiration of the Scriptures By Arthur Pink, 1936 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" 2 Timothy 3:16 The word "inspire" signifies to in-breathe , and breath is both the means and evidence of life ; for as soon as a person ceases to breathe he is dead. The Word of God, then, is vit... Read More

What are the marks of a true shepherd? ( Arthur Pink , 1939) "Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 How diligently should those who think of entering the ministry, scrutinize their motives ; for thousands hav...

SELF KNOWLEDGE Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "Commune with your own heart upon your bed" (Psalm 4:4). This is a Divine command, but it receives very little attention today from the great majority of professing Christians, and that to their immeasurable harm for every command of God is designed for our ...

Xmas by A. W. Pink "Thus says the Lord—Do not learn the way of the heathen...for the CUSTOMS of the people are vain." Jeremiah 10:1-3 Christmas is coming! Quite so—but what is "Christmas?" Does not the very term itself denote it's source— "Christ-mass." Thus it is of Roman origin, brought over from ... Read More

FURNACE CONDUCT Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "Therefore glorify the Lord in the fires" (Isaiah 24:15). The context presents a fearfully solemn picture. It describes a time when the judgments of God are abroad: when He causes the earth to mourn, and the world to languish; when His curse devours, and ma... Read More

The Ordained Gospel Arthur Pink "I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed." Psalm 132:17 The first part of this Psalm records a series of prayer-petitions; from verse 11 to the close are a number of great and precious promises relating to David and his family in the type, but mainly and ultimately to C...

POOR YET RICH Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) One of the prayers which the Lord teaches His people to pray is, "Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy" (Psalm 86:1). Empty professors filled with pride, by their very attitude and actions, boast that they are "rich, and increased with ... Read More

DIVINE GUIDANCE Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) It is well for those who are sensible of their own weakness and fallibility, and of the difficulties with which they are surrounded in life, that the Lord has promised to guide His people with His eye, and to cause them to hear a word behind them, saying, "... Read More

DIVINE GUIDANCE Arthur W. Pink, 1935 There is a need to amplify the positive aspect of divine guidance. There are few subjects which bear on the practical side of the Christian life, and that believers are more exercised about, than that they may be "led by the Lord" in all their ways. Yet when some...

Guidance Guaranteed Arthur Pink, 1953 "And He shall direct your paths" Proverbs 3:6 We come now to what is, in one sense, both the simplest and yet the most difficult clause of Proverbs 3:5-6. Paradoxical as it may sound, it is often the case that the simplest things are the most profound, and the p... Read More

TO A STRICKEN SOUL Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) My dear brother, Greetings in the precious name of Him who, in the supreme crisis of His life said, "The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?" (John 18:11). Those words were uttered by the Lord Jesus on the night of His betrayal: the C... Read More

REWARDS Arthur Pink October, 1943 To the infidel, much in the Scriptures seems so inconsistent and inharmonious , that he charges them with "abounding in contradictions ." That there should be no variableness or shadow of turning with God—yet that He is frequently said to "repent"; that He claims to... Read More

Duty-Faith by Arthur Pink, 1936 Introductory letter, by John Newton "Addressing the Unconverted" Sir, In a late conversation you desired my thoughts concerning a Scriptural and consistent manner of addressing the consciences of unawakened sinners in the course of your ministry. It is a point on whic... Read More

Over-Righteous Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "Do not be over-righteous." Ecclesiastes 7:16 Some of our readers may be surprised to discover that there is such a statement as this in Holy Writ, and at first glance consider it an exhortation we do not need. Yet on second thought they should perceive that... Read More

SELF-JUDGMENT Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world"—1 Corinthians 11:31, 32. "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged." Here we perce... Read More

SUBMISSION TO OUR SOVEREIGN Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) "Our God is in the heavens: He has done whatever He has pleased" (Psalm 115:3). Being God, He consults no one; yet being omniscient and infinitely holy, He does only that which is good and right. But we are finite creatures; yes, fallen creature... Read More

Patience! Arthur Pink "Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patient waiting for Christ." 2 Thessalonians 3:5 Quite a lot is said about the grace and duty of "patient waiting" in the Scriptures. Yet, there is comparatively little of it in the lives of most Christians,... Read More
