Romans 9:20-22

Those of you who read the religious announcements in the newspapers of yesterday would see the subject for my sermon this evening is “Christian Fools.” Possibly some of you thought there was a printer’s error and that what I really meant to announce was “Professing Christian fools.” The paper gave i...

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 12. THE PATIENCE OF GOD Far less has been written upon this than the other excellencies of the Divine character. Not a few of those who have expatiated at length upon the Divine attributes have passed over the patience of God without any comment. It is not easy to suggest a rea... Read More

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 9. THE POWER OF GOD We cannot have a right conception of God unless we think of Him as all-powerful, as well as all-wise. He who cannot do what he will and perform all his pleasure cannot be God. As God hath a will to resolve what He deems good, so has He power to execute His w... Read More

The Doctrine of Election 10. Its Blessedness First, the doctrine of election magnifies the character of God. It exemplifies His grace. Election makes known the fact that salvation is God’s free gift, gratuitously bestowed upon whom He pleases. This must be so, for those who receive it are themselves... Read More

THE DOCTRINE OF MAN’S IMPOTENCE Chapter 3 NATURE The doctrine we are now considering is a most solemn and forbidding one. Certainly it is one which could never have been invented by man, for it is far too humbling and distasteful. It is one which is most offensive to human pride, and at complete var... Read More

THE DOCTRINE OF MAN’S IMPOTENCE Chapter 8 ELUCIDATION Had we followed a strictly logical order, this branch of our subject would have immediately followed our discussion of the problem which is raised by this doctrine. But we considered it better to first build a broader foundation for our present r... Read More

The Doctrine of Sanctification 11. Its Author God Himself is the alone source and spring of all holiness. There is nothing of it in any creature but what is immediately from the Holy One. When God first created man, He made him in His own image, that is, "in righteousness and true holiness (Eph. 4:2... Read More
