This session looks at the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith so believers will understand better how to give an answer (2 Peter 1:16-21).

We need to preach the truth continually, for even those who know it need to be reminded of it again and again. Truth unpublished is like seed laid up in a florist’s shop; it does not produce any result. We need to have the truth constantly sown in our hearts, and watered by the Holy Spirit, that it may…

Our forefathers died for half a truth, and we will not bear rebuke for a whole one. Two women were tied to the stake at Wigton and drowned in the rising tide—do you know what for? Simply because they would not say, “God save the king.” You say, “What does that matter?” Well, it was comparatively a theological…

Old Hugh Latimer preached before Henry VIII. It was the custom of the court preacher to present the king with something on his birthday, and Latimer presented Henry VIII with a pocket handkerchief with this text in the corner: “God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers” (Heb 13:4)—a very…

The truth is something like those stalactite caverns and grottoes that you must enter and see for yourself if you would really know their wonders. If you venture there without light or guide, you would run great risks. But with blazing torch and an instructed leader, your entrance is full of interest.…

You have, perhaps, sometimes seen a little fire kindled among the dead autumn leaves, which are dank and damp. You have noticed that, despite all the smoke, the fire has continued to live and burn. So it is with the eternal truth of God. Notwithstanding all the error with which it is often damped, and…

I have known persons to take offense because the word has been spoken from the pulpit too pointedly. This is to take offense where we ought to show gratitude. Will you give your ear to one who will please you to your ruin, and flatter you to your destruction? Surely you are not so foolish? Do you choose…

If a discovery is made in science or machinery, it is complicated at first, for the very reason that it is imperfect. But all improvements are in the direction of simplicity. It is just the same with spiritual teachings: When we get at reality, we cut off superfluity. Spurgeon, C. (2014). Spurgeon Commentary:…

There are certain things that if men want they will have. I have heard say that in the old Bread Riots, when men were actually starving for bread, no word had such a terribly threatening and alarming power about it as the word “Bread!” when shouted by a starving crowd. I have read a description by one…

When you come to your table you find a variety there. Sometimes there is one dish upon it, and sometimes another, but you are never at all surprised to find the bread there every time. And perhaps we might add that there would be a deficiency if there were not salt there every time too. So there are…

The feather flies in the wind, but it has no inherent power to move. Consequently, when the gale is over it falls to the ground. Such is the religion of excitement. But the eagle has life within itself, and its wings bear it aloft and onward whether the breeze favors it or not—such is religion when sustained…

Especially at this present time it is incumbent upon Christians to learn how to use the discerning faculty with regard to what is, and what is not, truth. Would you eat all meat indiscriminately without tasting and testing its quality? If so, would you not soon be ill? Does a man take any drug that may…

Do you not know that plain dealing is more precious than rubies? Would you not say to your physician, “Put me under the severest examination, and let me know the truth”? Would you pay him a fee so that he might deceive you? As to your soul, do you not desire to know the very worst of your case? If you…

To the unclean and unbelieving, holy things will always be impure. You might as well forbid the sun to shine because, when its beams fall upon a dunghill, it brings forth unwholesome reeking. Yes, but that same sun, when it falls upon the flowers, makes them shed their aromatic perfume on every hand.…

Going down to Sheerness on Friday, I was told by someone that during the recent gale several of the ships there had their anchors rent up. They had gone dashing against the other ships and had done considerable damage. Now, if their anchors had held fast and firm, no damage would have been done. Ask…

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…

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…

Reasons to Assemble Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 Recommended Reading Acts2:42-47 It is said that one Sunday, King Louis XIV of France arrived at his chapel for…

"Only Your Dyin' Will Tell" I began by quoting the words of John Lennon in his song "Imagine." Let me end by quoting the words of a song made famous by another rock group, this one called Blood, Sweat and Tears. In the 60s they wrote a song called "And When I Die" that hit the top of the charts. The…
