Some men tell the tale of their past lives as if it really was very grand and very creditable to them to have done such abominable things. A man gets up in a meeting and says, “My dear friends, I have done that which, if it had been known, would have brought me to the gallows.” “Then sit down,” says…

Every time an Israelite thought of the bones of Joseph, he thought, “We are to go out of this country one day.” Perhaps he was a man prospering in business, laying up store in Egypt, but he would say to himself, “I shall have to part with this; Joseph’s bones are to be carried up; I am not to be here…

Some years ago there went into a Methodist class meeting a lawyer who was a doubter, but at the same time a man of candid spirit. Sitting down on one of the benches, he listened to a certain number of poor people, his neighbors, whom he knew to be honest people. He heard some 13 or 14 of these persons…

We may not ask for any witness to begin with beyond the testimony of God, nor will any other witness be given. I charge you not to say, “I will believe in God when I obtain the inward witness.” No, you are bound to believe in God first, on the sure testimony of His Word. If you believe His Word you shall…

An oath for confirmation among men is the end of all strife. When an honest man has sworn to it, the testimony stands in evidence and may not be questioned. When God not only gives His promise and His word, but swears to His declaration, who shall dare to doubt? Spurgeon, C. (2014). Spurgeon Commentary:…

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.

To me it is a solemn memory that I professed my faith openly in baptism. I vividly recall the scene. It was the third of May, and the weather was cold because of a keen wind.

I sometimes liken the promises to the smith’s great bunch of keys, which he brings when you have lost the key of your chest and cannot unlock it. He feels pretty sure that out of all the keys upon the ring some one or other will fit, and he tries them with patient industry. At last—yes—that is it, he…

My observation of personal character has been somewhat wide, and I cannot help bearing my testimony that I am greatly afraid of men who make loud professions of superior sanctity.

The law ceases its office as pedagogue when it comes to be written on our hearts. Boys have their lessons on slates, but men have their laws in their minds.
