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

  “Pause, my soul! adore, and wonder! Ask, ‘Oh, why such love to me?’ Grace hath put me in the number Of the Saviour’s family: Hallelujah! Thanks, eternal thanks, to Thee."

" The four Gospels are a narrative of the heart of Christ.  They show His compassion to sinners and His glorious work in their stead.  If you only knew that heart as it is, you would lay your weary head with John on His bosom.  Do not take up your time so much with studying your own heart as with studying Christ’s heart.  For every one look at yourself, take a hundred looks at Christ!"   -preacher R.M.

NO PREACHING BETTER THAN BAD PREACHING   Some people are under the impression that when they are out of town on the Lord’s Day, they ought to go to some sort of church regardless of what kind of preaching they might have to endure.  I have been asked what I do when I find myself in a locality where the gospel is not set forth.  On those rare occasions when I am not preaching on a Sunday and in an area where there is no one nearby who proclaims the message of sovereign grace, this is what I will not do.   I will not go and hear a man preach  “another gospel”  which robs God of the glory of His free grace in the salvation of sinners.  I refuse to listen to any preacher who insists that God loves everybody, Jesus Christ died for everybody and the Holy Spirit is trying to save everybody.  I reject the idea that I ought to “go to church” even if it means I must sit under the ministry of a false prophet who instructs his hearers that their eternal destiny is dependent upon and c

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all to stand." -Ephesians 6:13 [KJV] St. Paul was an experienced veteran in the camp of Christ. He had been in many campaigns: fought many battles under the Captain of his salvation, against the combined enemies, the world, the flesh, and the devil. He warns his fellow soldiers of their foes and dangers, by exhorting them to take, and put on, nothing less than the whole armour of God. The very same armour, which he himself fought in, is provided for us also.  Blessed be God for that. So sure as Paul fought his way through, and safely arrived in glory, so shall we also, in this armour of God. O Christian, consider, this is not an armour of flesh and blood—not what is natural to man, or is in the power of man to provide for himself; but the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of the whole earth, hath provided it for all Christ’s soldiers .
