acts-16:19-40

After studying revival accounts for a good portion of my life, I have come to the conclusion that revival comes when people gain a right perspective of the Lord. Yet tragically, our generation has lost an understanding of the greatness, grandeur, power, and majesty of the eternal God of the universe... Read More

A. ORIGIN OF SATAN 1. What light is shed on the origin of Satan in: (1) Isa. 14:12? That prior to his fall he was called “Lucifer” (“day star”) and “son of the morning,” probably because he was the beginning of God’s creation. (2) Ezek. 28:15? That he is a created being and as such does not possess ... Read More

The work of Jesus Christ could not be done unless He died. He could not be the Savior of the world unless He was the sacrifice for the sins of the world. . . . It was because of the requirements of the divine righteousness, and because of the necessities of sinful men. And so Christ's was no martyr'... Read More

“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly and gave sense, and caused them to understand the reading” (Nehemiah 8:8). The meanings of the Holy Scriptures are not always obvious to everyone. Hence the preacher’s responsibility to “give sense” and to cause his listeners to understand the t... Read More

We have seen that John the Baptist was a very faithful preacher, one who spoke to the rich as well as to the poor of their sins. But we do not hear that the Pharisees and Sadducees took warning from his sermons—yet there were some people who did. The people (that is, the common people—as they are ca... Read More

Would you really like to know how to get to heaven? A few years ago railroads and airlines printed what were called "time tables." They all laid claim to the better route to your destination. They went so far as to print their line in big boxcar type, while their competitor’s line was put in the sma... Read More

The subject assigned me is too large to be set forth in all its bearings in a single lecture; and the controversies in regard to it which have existed for many centuries, have raised so many questions, that to dispose of them all even briefly, would require a volume instead of a lecture. I am not ex... Read More

My dear Friend, I know not that I have any thing to say worth postage, though perhaps, had I seen you before you set off, something might have occurred which will not be found in my letter. Yet I write a line, because you bid me, and are now in a far foreign country. You will find Mr. **** a man to ... Read More

1 Corinthians 1:10-17 It is surprising to me that Paul would say, "Christ did not send me to baptize," when, in fact, one of the last things Jesus said to His disciples was, "Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. . ." In order to un... Read More

The New Testament teaches very plainly that we are saved by faith. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31). (Also John 3:16). "By grace you were saved through faith and that not of yourselves . . . " (Eph. 2:8). "For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through fait... Read More
