I am afraid that many of us are like the children at school, who have a good, fair copy set them at the top of the page, and the next line is written to imitate the copy, and the next imitates the imitation of the copy, and as it gets to the bottom of the page—alas! poor writing—how unlike it is to the…

It is life that grows. Put a bar of iron into the best soil that you can find, water it, and manure it, and let the genial sun shine upon it, but never a leaf or a rootlet will you find upon it, for it is dead. It is not so with the Christian man. Because of the life that is in him, he must grow. Spurgeon,…

The full-grown man is stronger than the babe. His sinews are knit; his bones have become more full of solid material; they are no longer soft and cartilaginous, there is more solid matter in them. So with the advanced Christian; he is no longer to be bent about and twisted; his bones are as iron, and…

The youthful artist, as he grasps his early pencil, can hardly hope to equal Raphael or Michelangelo, but still, if he did not have a noble ideal before his mind, he would only attain to something very mean and ordinary. Heavenly fingers point us to the Lord Jesus as the great exemplar of His people,…

Familiarity with Christ soon begets congeniality of disposition and spirit, for those who are much with Christ become much like Christ. He who lies on a bed of spices will naturally find his garments smell of the same. A mirror upon which the sun is shining is bright itself and flashes its reflected…

Barna: Doctrinal confusion abounds; Mohler: Church is key to discipleship Oct 14, 2002 By Michael Foust LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--Seventy-nine percent of Americans profess a belief in the Trinity, while 74 percent reject the concept of original sin; 59 percent say Satan is merely a symbol of evil; and nearly…

FIRST PERSON - Religiously correct prayer: The secular left goes berserk By R. Albert Mohler Jr. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--As expected, the inaugural ceremonies for President George W. Bush opened and closed with prayer. Unexpectedly, the prayers have ignited controversy and unleashed a firestorm of histrionics…

One nation under God was their cry and declaration, Upon the law of Nature’s God they built a mighty Nation. For Unlike Mankind before them who had walked this earthen sod, These men would never question the Sovereignty of God. That all men were “created was a truth “self-evident,” To secure the rights…

I remember seeing a somewhat famous portrait of our Lord in which the artist never lifted his pencil from the paper from beginning to end, but drew the whole of it with one continuous series of circles. So here I may say the whole Christian life is drawn in one line—coming unto Christ. “To whom you are…

At present, it is with us as it is with the world during the winter. If you had not seen the miracle wrought again and again, you would not guess, when you look upon those black beds in the garden, or when you walk over that snowy and frosty covering, crisp and hard beneath your feet, that the earth…

Holiness is not the cause of spiritual life and safety; faith is the wellspring of all. In the spring you see the hawthorn covered with a delicious luxuriance of snow-white flowers, loading the air with fragrance, but no one among the admiring gazers supposes that those sweet blossoms caused the hawthorn…

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, just maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts are wrong!

You have noticed at night a star. It is only a little spark comparatively, but still it is very bright, and everybody says, “Do you see that star?” Yes, but there is a moon; why does not everybody say, “Look what a beautiful moon?” They notice the star first, because it is not usual to see stars so brilliant.…

Suppose you had been a pig all your life, and that you were suddenly made into a man. Well, now you are a man, you look through a telescope; swine cannot do that. You look through a microscope; I never knew a pig do that in my life. Swine do not talk, but you speak, you sing, you pray, you are quite…

Suppose a corpse is before us. How great a pretender would he be who should boast that it was in his power to restore it to life! Certainly, it would be even a greater pretense if anyone should say that he could give to himself or to another the divine life, the spiritual life by which a man is made…

I have told you before of a strange picture that I saw at Brussels, in which the artist has represented the resurrection in a very remarkable fashion, showing the people as partly alive. There is one man with his head restored to life, but his arms remain as skeletons. There is another alive down to…

Charles Borromeo, the famous bishop of Milan, ordered a painter who was about to draw a skeleton with a scythe over a sepulcher to substitute for it the golden key of Paradise. Truly this is a most fitting emblem for a believer’s tomb, for what is death but the key of heaven to the Christian? We notice…

In a case that I remember the husband lived all his life indifferent to divine things, while the wife was an earnest Christian woman and saw all her children grow up in the ways of the Lord. The father lived unregenerate and died without giving any testimony of a change of heart. When our sister speaks…

Just as we sometimes see a strong and healthy person growing pale and wan, losing appetite and falling into sickness until he becomes a mere skeleton because a general sapping and undermining of the constitution has come upon him, so have I seen it with Christians. They do not lose life, but they do…

You may see, if you go down the Kennington Park Road, a row of young trees planted by the road. How are they kept up while they are still slender? Why, small posts of dead timber hold them up. Even so, a dead Sunday school teacher may yet be useful to a really Christian child, and a dead deacon may be…
