"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC OPINION VERSUS THE WORD OF GOD, we do not care one iota about the sentiments of the natural man. "Let God be true and every man a liar" [ROMANS 3:4 ] . Though many deny creation, that does not change the fact that " I n the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" [GENESIS 1:1 ] . Though highly educated fools insist man evolved from some sort of slime to what he is now, that does not alter the inspired declaration, "And the L ORD God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" [GENESIS 2:7 ] . Let men attribute catastrophic weather events to "mother nature." Let them trace advancements and pleasant things to "lady luck" and "fate," that does not change what the Book of God says: "Of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things: to Whom be glory for ever. Amen" [ROMANS 11:36 ] . L...

"My Father, which gave them M e, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of M y Father's hand." -J OHN 10:29 [KJV]   In that most sublime and touching prayer which the Lord Jesus Christ, as the great High Priest over the house of God, offered up to H is heavenly Father before H e shed H is precious blood on the cross, there is one petition, or rather an expression of H is holy will, which is full of unspeakable blessedness. "Father, I will that they also, whom T hou hast given M e, be with M e where I am; that they may behold M y glory, which T hou hast given M e; for T hou lovedst M e before the foundation of the world." The change from petitioning as a Priest to willing as a King is very remarkable, and casts a gracious light on the nature of Christ's mediatorial intercession at the right hand of God. On the footing of H is covenant engagements, atoning sacrifice, and finished work, as well as from the perfect equality...

Moses, the servant of God, made a very bold request before Almighty God, "I beseech Thee, shew me Thy glory" [EXODUS 33:18] . God, in granting this request makes this amazing and glorious statement, "I will make all My goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy." Many people in our day only talk about the goodness of God, but never make mention that God is sovereign. Many others only talk of His sovereignty and fail to mention that God delights to show mercy [PSALM 130:7 ] . Our real aim is to show how God can be just and justify the guilty in Christ Jesus [ROMANS 3:26 ] , how God can be a just God and Saviour [ISAIAH 45.21 ] . God is not revealed only by one attribute, but by all His attributes [PSALM 85: 10 ] . Notice, in this text you have the GOODNESS and the SOVEREIGNTY of our God declared, when you put the two t...
