Elijah appeared on the stage of public action during one of the darkest hours of Israel’s sad history. He is introduced to us at the beginning of 1 Kings 17, and we have but to read through the previous chapters to discover what a deplorable state God’s people were then in. Israel had grievously and... Read More
THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 12. THE PATIENCE OF GOD Far less has been written upon this than the other excellencies of the Divine character.

THE HOLY SPIRIT Chapter 9 The Work of the Spirit It is a great mistake to suppose that the works of the Spirit are all of one kind, or that His operations preserve an equality as to degree. To insist that they are and do would be ascribing less freedom to the Third Person of the Godhead than is enjo... Read More
Noah is the connecting link between "the world that then was," which "being overflowed with water, perished," and the earth which now is "reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men" (2 Pet. 3:6, 7).

A Body of PRACTICAL Divinity Book 1—Chapter 16 OF RESIGNATION TO THE WILL OF GOD Submission, or resignation of the will of man to the will of God, is a part of self-denial, as has been observed in the preceding chapter, and therefore properly next requires a distinct consideration. It is no other th... Read More
A Body of PRACTICAL Divinity Book 1—Chapter 5 OF THE FEAR OF GOD The fear of God has so great a concern in divine worship, that it is sometimes put for the whole of it; and a worshipper of God is frequently described in scripture by one that fears him; and particularly internal worship, or experimen...
