The poor widow was deeply distressed over her loss, and her language to Elijah is a strange mixture of faith and unbelief, pride and humility. It was the inconsistent outburst of an agitated mind as the disconnected and jerky nature of it intimates. First, she asks him, "What have I to do with thee?"—what have I done to displease thee? wherein have…

This is the continuation of my narration of the KJV of the Holy Bible. I will be continuing to record by chapter instead of a bunch of chapters to fill time. I'm of the hope, that I can be reconditioned to narrate longer as the days pass.May the Lord Jesus Christ Bless and preserve you.Duane Linn

Suppose that by some painful operation you could have your right arm made a little longer. I don't suppose you would care to undergo the operation. But if you foresaw that by enduring the pain, you'd be able to reach out and save drowning men who would otherwise sink before your eyes, I think you would willingly bear the agony and pay the heavy fee…

A. W. Pink (1886-1952), author of this "Life of Elijah," had a wide experience of conditions in the English-speaking world. Before finally settling in Britain during the "thirties, he had exercised his ministry in Australia and the United States of America. Thereafter he devoted himself to Biblical exposition largely carried on by means of the maga…

God brought the Israelites into those trials and difficulties in the wilderness to humble them, and let them see what was in their hearts, that they might be convinced of their own perverseness by the many discoveries of it under those temptations, and so that they might be sensible that it was not for their righteousness that God made them his peo…

I have a friend who generally sits to hear me every Sunday. One day he asked, "What do you think? You're my only link with better things, but you are an awful man in my estimation, because you don't have the slightest sympathy with me." I replied, "No, I have not. Rather, I don't have the least sympathy with your unbelief." He said, "That makes me …

In publishing the discourse on "Justification," Jonathan Edwards was influenced by the urgent request of several ministers, who were present when a part of it was delivered, and whose opinion and advice he thought deserving of great respect. This discourse, though when first written of a much less size than as it is printed, was preached at two suc…

With the backdrop of the LA fires near us and the emergency warnings in San Diego, we remember they are a Gospel trumpet warning of Jesus Christ from Revelation 8:7 and that Jesus says in Mark 9 that, unlike the LA fires, the burning sensation of hell will never cease upon the people damned to go there to be punished by God forever. Flee the Fire t…

Is it to be wondered at, that God should be disposed severely to punish that which earnestly wishes him not to be God, and strives to accomplish this with all its might? Sin opposes the divine nature and existence; it is enmity against God, and is not an idle enemy; it has even engaged in a mortal war with all the attributes of God. John Owen: A Di…

The flesh is "weak," our heart "deceitful"; only by the daily use of means and through fellowship with the godly are we preserved. Oftentimes the failure of a Christian is to be charged against his brethren as much as to his own unfaithfulness. How often when we perceive a saint giving way to hardness of heart we go about mentioning it to others, i…

Now, there are two evils attending the mere performance of this duty, which utterly disappoint all men's attempts for walking with God:—1st. That men without it will go forth, somewhat, at least, in their ownstrength, to walk with God. "Why," say the Pharisees, "can we donothing? 'Are we blind also?' " Acting in the power of self will cleave tosuch…

Counsel to the Afflicted: or, Instruction and Consolation for such as have Suffered Loss by Fire: With Advice to such as have Escaped that Sore Judgment: Occasioned by the Dreadful Fire in the City of London, in the Year 1666." By Puritan Owen Stockton 1630-1680. The Fire began in London, Sept. 2, 1666, and continued raging for the space of three o…

"We may observe, (1) When God expresseS great indignation in Himself against sin, it is to teach men the greatness of sin in themselves. (2) God gives the same stability unto His threatenings as unto His promises. Men are apt to think the promises are firm and stable, but as for the threatenings, they suppose some way or other they may be evaded. (…

Our liberty is founded on Christ Himself, who sits at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Therefore our liberty is sure and valid as long as we believe in Christ. As long as we cling to Him with a steadfast faith we possess His priceless gifts. But if we are careless and indifferent we shall lose them. It is not without good reason that Pa…

Seeing therefore it is so evident, that you refuse to accept of Christ as your Saviour, why is Christ to be blamed that he does not save you? Christ has offered himself to you to be your Saviour in time past, and he continues offering himself still, and you continue to reject him, and yet complain that he does not save you. — So strangely unreasona…

This wonderful psalm, from its great length, helps us to marvel at the immensity of Scripture. As it keeps to the same subject, it helps us adore the unity of Scripture. Yet, from the many turns it brings to that one subject, it helps us see the variety of Scripture. How manifold are the words and thoughts of God! In His Word, just as in creation, …

The solemn manner in which this was related, produced an overwhelming effect. There was not a dry eye in the house; and I doubt whether there was one present, not already a believer, who did not resolve from that time to seek an interest in Christ. Certain it is that many dated their first serious impressions from that evening.…

His talent, as a preacher, being rather of the reasoning and discriminating character, the almost uniform first report was, that he was not eloquent. So in the usual acceptation of the word, perhaps he was not. But if eloquence consists in the power of holding attention, and deeply impressing human minds, then was Mr. Nettleton eloquent, and at tim…

Wednesday, Jan. 2. Dull. I find, by experience, that, let me make resolutions, and do what I will, with never so many inventions, it is all nothing, and to no purpose at all, without the motions of the Spirit of God; for if the Spirit of God should be as much withdrawn from me always, as for the week past, notwithstanding all I do, I should not gro…

To those to whom this frame is a burden, there is no more effectual means to stir them up unto endeavors for deliverance than a continual remembrance of former things, and experiences they have had of holy communion with God. This will revive, quicken, and strengthen the things that are ready to die, and beget a self-abhorrence in them in considera…

1. God exerts upon the wicked a restraining influence by which they are prevented from doing what they are naturally inclined to do. A striking example of this is seen in Abimelech, king of Gerar. Abraham came down to Gerar, and fearful lest he might be slain on account of his wife, he instructed her to pose as his sister.…

It is from an unquestionable and commonly acknowledged truth, that Solomon here urgeth us to diligence in duty; and therefore to prove it would be but loss of time. As there are two worlds for man to live in, and so two lives for man to live, so each of these lives hath its peculiar employment. This is the life of preparation: the next is the life …

The generality of Christians are contented with their present measures, and design little more than not to lose the ground they have gained. And a pernicious folly it is, that both ruins the glory of religion and deprives the souls of men of peace and consolation. But so it is.John Owen

The Sovereignty of God - 1918 - From all eternity God designed that our world should be the stage on which He would display His manifold grace and wisdom in the redemption of lost sinners: "To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal p…

O you drowsy saints, that you can sleep so quietly on it when things all about you are conspiring trouble and threatening danger. Can you sleep like Jonah when seas of wrath are tumbling and roaring all around you and threaten to entomb you and all your pleasures? The stork in the heaven knows her appointed times (Jeremiah 8:7); has God not made yo…

How diabolical, then, is that madness which pretends that the use of the Scripture is only transient and temporary, which guides the sons of God to the highest point of perfection! I would also ask them another question—whether they have imbibed a different spirit from that which the Lord promised to his disciples?…

Many appear to forget that we are saved and justified as sinners, and only sinners; and that we never can attain to anything higher, if we live to the age of Methuselah. Redeemed sinners, justified sinners, and renewed sinners doubtless we must be,--but sinners, sinners, sinners, we shall be always to the very last. They do not seem to comprehend t…

This sermon was preached on the occasion of Pastor Grant beginning a new, FT "tent making" job help continue with the ministry at PRPC. Looking at Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla for examples, we see that the ministry of God's Word throughout the world may sometimes involve trade work of its ministers. There is Precedence of Tent Making in Scripture to…

Brother Humble Heart: "I cannot but be struck with the fact that your counsel and instruction are the very opposite of what was given to me by the last person I spoke to about my sorrows. He is a man very wise in the Scriptures, having scores of passages at his finger's end. He told me that the only way to get rid of my doubting was to believe the …

Men by nature have presumptions and common ingrafted notions of other properties of God besides his holiness and justice, —as of his goodness, benignity, love of His creatures, and the like; but all these have this supposition inlaid with them in the souls of men, namely, that all things stand between God and his creatures as they did at their firs…
