Saved with an Everlasting Salvation

THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL "The Gospel of God gloriously declares the Father to have eternally purposed, in Christ, to show mercy to His people in electing grace.  It gloriously declares the Lord Jesus to have procured, by His precious life and death, the redemption and salvation of all that the Father gave Him in that electing grace, and gloriously reveals the Surety and application of all Christ procured, for His people, by the Holy Spirit."                                                                             -preacher Marvin Stalnaker

Made Willing in the Day of His Power

"For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not." - II Corinthians 8:12 [KJV]   Sweet thought this to comfort the soul under small attainments, "If there be first a willing mind." Surely, Lord, Thou hast given me this; for Thou hast made me willing in the day of Thy power. I feel as such, my soul going forth in desires after Thee, as my chief and only good; though, alas! how continually do I fall short of the enjoyment of Thee. I can truly say, "whom is there in heaven, or upon earth, that I desire in comparison of Thee?" When Thou art present, I am at once in heaven; it makes a very heaven in my soul: Thou art the God of my exceeding joy. When Thou art absent my soul pines after Thee? And truly, "I count all things but dung and dross to win Thee;" for whatever gifts Thou hast graciously bestowed upon me, in the kindness of friends, in the affections and charities of ...

Wonderful, LORD JESUS!

"And His name shall be called Wonderful." -Isaiah 4:6 [KJV] In the opening of the last month, the fragrancy of Jesus's name, as Emanuel , gave a sweet savour to my soul. May He, whose name is as ointment poured forth, give a new refreshment to my spiritual senses this morning, in this name also as Wonderful ; for surely every thing in Him, and concerning Him, of whom the prophet speaks, is eminently so. But who shall speak of Thy wonders, dearest Lord! the wonders of Thy Godhead, the wonders of Thy manhood, the wonders of both natures united and centered in one Person? - Who shall talk of the wonders of Thy work, the wonders of Thine offices, characters, relations; Thy miraculous birth, Thy wonderful death, resurrection, ascension? - Who shall follow Thee, Thou risen and exalted Saviour, at the right hand of power, and tell of the exercise of Thine everlasting priesthood? Who shall speak of the wonders of Thy sanctified. And mark both the preciousness of thy Jesus, and ...

REST

"Leaning on Jesus' bosom." -John 13:23 [KJV]   Methinks I would contemplate for a while the privilege of this highly-favoured disciple John. Surely to sit at the feet of Jesus, to look up at His face, to behold the Lamb of God, and to hear the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth, what should I have thought of this but a happiness unspeakable and full of glory! But the beloved apostle leaned on Jesus's bosom. Oh, Thou condescending Saviour! didst Thou mean to manifest, by this endearing token, how dear and precious all Thy redeemed ones are in Thy esteem?     But stop, my soul. If John lay on Jesus's breast, where was it Jesus Himself lay, when He left all for thy salvation? The disciple whom Jesus loved lay upon Jesus's bosom; but He, whom the Father loved, lay in the bosom of the Father - nay, was embosomed there; was wrapt up in the very soul of the Father from eternity. Who shall undertake to speak of the most glorious state of the Son of G...

Lamb of God!

"Lamb of God, we fall before thee,  Humbly trusting in your cross:  That alone be all our glory;  All things else are dung and dross. You we own a perfect Savior,  Only source of all that's good.  Every grace, and every favor  Comes to us thro' Jesus' blood."                                                                          -preacher Wm. Mason

A Diagnosis of Modern Religion

The “evangelism” of the last sixty years has not evangelized. The “revivals” of the last sixty years have not revived, and the “salvation” of the last sixty years has not saved. Why? Because men have not been told who Jesus is and what He did. They have accepted a popular “Jesus” that has turned America into a gang of Hell-raising, Sabbath-desecrating church members. The Jesus of the Bible is not their Lord. -preacher Rolfe P. Barnard (1904-1969 A.D.) diagnosing the situation in the early 1960s —What would he say today?
