The Supernatural
The Supernatural by A.B. Simpson is a book about the power of God in the life of the believer. A. B. Simpson not only talked about it, but he wrote and preached about it too. In this book, The SupernaturalThe Supernatural, A.B. Simpson writes a prophetic warning that is just as relevant today as it was over a century ago.
Christians must take a look at God and realize it is Christ who created the heavens and the earth, the universe and all that it contains with just single words. We as His followers must pen our eyes to that which is beyond us and to what His Presence has given us. We cannot contain Him in his infinite power and magnificent authority. A.B. Simpson points out that God never speaks at random but does so to the point and to the times. A B Simpson wants us to ask ourselves, if the power of God has been crowded out of your life? It is no coincidence! Satan wants us to distrust whatever we cannot see, hear, touch, taste, or smell. Let Simpson open your eyes to a world beyond the rational to a real presence that cannot be seen.
A.B. Simpson (1843 - 1919)
Simpson is the founder of the Christian Missionary Alliance Movement that began in Canada with a desire to promote missions and global evangelism. He was used powerfully of the Lord to unify many brothers and sisters in a common purpose of fulfilling the great commission.A.W. Tozer joined with the Missionary Alliance denomination because of the teachings of A.B. Simpson and specific his writings on holiness: "A Larger Christian Life." He wrote many hymns and added a great emphasis on the person of Jesus Christ in church-life.
FOUNDER OF THE Christian and Missionary Alliance, Albert Benjamin Simpson was born in Canada of Scottish parents. He became a Presbyterian minister and pastored several churches in Ontario. Later, he accepted the call to serve as pastor of the Chestnut Street Presbyterian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. It was there that his life and ministry were completely changed in that, during a revival meeting, he experienced the fullness of the Spirit.He continued in the Presbyterian Church until 1881, when he founded an independent Gospel Tabernacle in New York. There he published the Alliance Weekly and wrote 70 books on Christian living. He organized two missionary societies which later merged to become the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
Albert Benjamin Simpson was a Canadian preacher, theologian, author, and founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), an evangelical protestant denomination with an emphasis on global evangelism.
In December 1873, at age 30, Simpson left Canada and assumed the pulpit of the largest Presbyterian church in Louisville, Kentucky, the Chestnut Street Presbyterian Church. It was in Louisville that he first conceived of preaching the gospel to the common man by building a simple tabernacle structure for that purpose. Despite his success at the Chestnut Street Church, Simpson was frustrated by their reluctance to embrace this burden for wider evangelistic endeavor.
Simpson’s heart for evangelism was to become the driving force behind the creation of the C&MA. Initially, the Christian and Missionary Alliance was not founded as a denomination, but as an organized movement of world evangelism. Today, the C&MA denomination plays a leadership role in global evangelism.
