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

" Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the L ORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him." -Psalm 2:10-12 [KJV]

" I will come again, and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." -John 14:3 [KJV] Our Lord spake these words to His disciples, who had faith in Him, and yet had troubled hearts. Is this your case? They are suited to all such. They are to strengthen the faith and comfort the hearts of disciples. O this coming again of Christ will be the crowning work of all! To whom? awful to think of! The greatest part of the world believe nothing of Christ’s first coming, and care nothing about His second coming. It will be a dreadful coming to them.  “I will come again.” A second coming implies a first. If Christ has come in the power of His Spirit to our hearts, so that we have seen His glory, and believed on Him, we shall look with pleasure, and long with joy, for His coming again. This is a sure mark, that we shall “receive a crown of righteousness, if we love the appearing of Christ” (II Timothy 4:8.)  Now, to your hearts by faith: hereafter, by ...

"El ection,  redemption, and regeneration all spring from God’s sovereign will; they are accomplished by His Divine power and disposed to His glory." -preacher W. E. Best

" I go to prepare a place for you." -John 14:2 [KJV] If any person, destitute of the provisions of life, had a promise from some noble lord, I will amply provide for you—I will go this day to court, and get a place for you: if he believed his word, and depended on his power, it would fill the heart with joy. Suppose he actually succeeded to the most desirable place, and that it was in no one’s power to dispatch him: what then? Why, this would add to his comfort.  But, though no one could take his place from him, yet, alas! there is one, who will very soon summons him to another, in the place appointed for all living. Ah! this gives a damp to every earthly enjoyment. Off hands, from all: quit your hold of all: for you hold all earthly possessions by a very uncertain tenure. But, hear your Lord: rejoice at His words.  (1st.) I go; willingly and cheerfully, through the most dreadful scenes of horror, agony, and death. I go, to face, fight with, and conquer all the...

"... Building up yourselves on your most holy faith." -Jude 20 [KJV] Instead of going on comfortably in this work, many are questioning, I do not know whether I have obtained a most holy faith or not. Bring this to a point to-night. Has the ruinous fabric of nature’s self-confidence, self-righteousness, self-complacency, and self-pleasing ever been pulled down? Has the Spirit convinced you of sin? Do you see yourself a lost, ruined sinner: so lost and so ruined by sin, that no one but the Son of God can restore and save you? Do you believe that He came to save sinners? Is it the desire of your heart, to be saved from ALL sin by Him?  If so, you as surely possess a holy faith as you enjoy natural life. And you will get stronger evidence, and greater assurance of it, by using every blessed means to prove that you have this most holy faith, while you build up yourself on it.  (1st.) This will appear to be a holy faith, by leading out your soul after a holy Saviour, ...

  Blest be the Father and His love To whose celestial source we owe   Rivers of endless joy above   And rills of comfort here below.      Glory to Thee great Son of God   From whose dear wounded body rolls   A precious stream of vital blood   Pardon and life for dying souls.       We give Thee, sacred Spirit, praise   Who in our hearts of sin and woe   Make living springs of grace arise   And into boundless glory flow.     Thus God the Father, God the Son   And God the Spirit we adore   That sea of life and love unknown   Without a bottom or a shore.      (old Gospel Hymn: “Doxology” )

"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked." -Psalm 97:10 [KJV] "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." Thomas Mann's chilling words pierce through the fog of modern moral relativism like a shard of ice. It's a warning that echoes through the blood-soaked pages of history, a truth we ignore at our peril. The Seduction of False Neutrality We live in an age where tolerance is held up as the supreme virtue, the golden idol before which we must all bow. We're told to accept everything, question nothing, and embrace a faux-unity that sacrifices truth on the altar of political correctness. But what happens when this tolerance becomes a blindfold, obscuring the stark reality of evil lurking in our midst? Like a ravenous wolf, evil doesn't care for our carefully crafted social constructs. It doesn't respect boundaries, it doesn't play fair, and it ce...
