Psalm 50:1-23

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

By George Lawson, 1811. (edited by Arthur Pink, 1941.) Does God punish nations for their wickedness under the Christian dispensation as He did during Old Testament times? If He did not we should have to discontinue the use of many of the Psalms in the praise of God. David often speaks of the righteo... Read More

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Part 3: Authority in Christian Practice Chapter 9 THE SUPREMACY OF GOD In one of his letters to Erasmus, Luther said, "Your thoughts of God are too human."

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 1. THE SCRIPTURES AND SIN There is grave reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study of the last few years has been of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it.

Not only was he the one from whom the fav... Read More

The Antichrist Chapter 7 ANTICHRIST IN THE PSALMS. The references to the Man of Sin in the book of Psalms are, for the most part, more or less incidental ones. With rare exceptions he comes into view only as he is related to Israel, or as he affects their fortunes. One cannot appreciate the force of... Read More

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 16. THE WRATH OF GOD It is sad to find so many professing Christians who appear to regard the wrath of God as something for which they need to make an apology, or at least they wish there were no such thing. While some would not go so far as to openly admit that they consider i... Read More

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 5. THE SUPREMACY OF GOD In one of his letters to Erasmus, Luther said, "Your thoughts of God are too human."
