"Is anything too hard for the LORD?" -Genesis 18:14 [KJV] The Lord will make us feel that though His arm is not shortened that it cannot save, nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear, yet He is to be enquired of. He is indeed a God that worketh wonders; apparent impossibilities are nothing with Him; He has but to speak and it is done. But He will make us know His power by making us feel our weakness. He will often keep at a great distance, and for a long time, in order to make us value His presence. He will make us sink very low that He may lift us very high. He will make us taste the bitterness of the gall and wormwood of sin that we may know the sweetness of manifested pardon. He will teach us to abhor ourselves in our own sight, and loathe ourselves for our abominations, before we shall see and know ourselves washed in His blood, clothed in His righteousness, and to stand before Him without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. The Lord in one sense is ...

We must continually come to Christ

“ One great part of the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart is to empty us, strip us of self, lead us to feel our own weakness, and bring us as poor sinners to look to Jesus alone, as our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. And just in proportion as we feel our need of Christ, and realize our absolute nothingness without Christ, s hall we prize Him, enjoy Him, and exercise dependence upon Him. O how little do many of us know our need of Christ, and therefore it is that we make so little use of Christ, receive so little from Christ, and do so little for Christ! We come to Him at first as poor, lost, helpless sinners that we may be saved by His merit and mercy. And as believers, we must continually come to Him with all our burdens that He may bear them; with all our cares that He may manage them; with all our sorrows that He may sanctify them; with all our foes that He may conquer them; with all our sins that He may cleanse them; and with all our needs tha...

"Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee." -Job 22:21 [KJV] "Thus saith the L ORD , Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty glory in his might, let not the rich glory in his riches: b ut let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD ." - Jer ermiah 9:23- 24 [KJV] A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature. The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshiped. In this booklet an effort has been made to set forth some of the principal perfections of the Divine character. If the reader is to truly profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he needs to definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him, to apply His Truth to the conscience a...

HAVE YOU GOT A MINUTE? People in this generation are so ignorant of what the scriptures teach that it is hard to know exactly where to begin with them. Whatever you try to teach them from the scriptures about God is so foreign to them. They have been so long self-deceived and even more greatly deceived by false religion that the gospel of the cross is not only offensive to them but shocking to them. They are in such a rush toward eternal destruction that they have no time to listen or to think. Preachers feed them a diet of worn religious clichés and formulas on how to be saved and they go on their way deluded and delighted in it. I am looking for some folks that the Spirit of God will bring to “stand still and see the salvation of the L ORD .” Some sinners that He has given the “hearing ear and the seeing eye” of faith. Some true disciples or learners that sit at the feet of Christ’s word and listen. I cannot shout above the loud voice of false prophets. ...
