Predestination of the Elect of God

Francis TurretinOught predestination to be publicly taught and preached? We affirm. Some of the brethren of France in the time of Augustine started this question. Since, in his books against the Pelagians, he had inserted and inculcated many things concerning predestination, so as in this way to defend the truth ag... Read More

The Death of Jesus Christ: Part 2

1. Death, powerless to the Lord because it was revealed in scripture as His appointed passage into conferred blessing. (Acts 2: 23.) 2. His death and rejection the measure of Israel's sin. (Acts 3: 14, 15.) 3. Victory through the Lord, in resurrection over death, the preaching of the apostles, and t... Read More

The Branch of the Lord Beautiful and Glorious to Them that are Escaped of Israel

J.C. PhilpotPreached at Gower Street Chapel, London, on Lord's Day Morning, June 20, 1869 "In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel, and it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, an...

Never Perish!

J.C. Ryle"They shall never perish!" John 10:28 There are two points in religion on which the teaching of the Bible is very plain and distinct. One of these points is the fearful danger of the ungodly; the other is the perfect safety of the righteous. One is the happiness of those who are converted; the other... Read More

An Introduction to Isaiah

In reading Matt. 1, 2, we learn, among other things, how the word of prophecy ought to be used; but we see also, how the carnal intellect treats it; and thus it furnishes a sound and healthful word to us, when we set ourselves down for a meditation on the prophetic Scriptures; for we are both guided...

Ruth - Musings on Scripture

"If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold" (Lev. 25: 25). Redemption, as one has said, was no afterthought with our God; it was His purpose from the beginning. By the work of red... Read More

Communion

We may contrast the communion to which John in the first chapter of his first Epistle, introduces the soul, with that which Paul gives it at the close of Rom. 8, and also with that which the same Apostle gives it at the close of Rom. 11. In Romans 1 - 8, the Apostle is instructing us in the secret o... Read More

Divine Intimacy

The intimacy between the Lord and His elect is beyond, we may say, what is known elsewhere. Angels do His pleasure, wait in His presence, have kept their first estate, and excel in that strength that serves Him. But they are not where elect sinners are. They learn, through the Church, the manifold w... Read More

The Lamb's Book of Life

James SmithThe Lord Jesus Christ is often represented in sacred Scripture by the figure of a LAMB, either to set forth the mildness, patience, and loveliness of his nature; or the design of his incarnation, which was that he might offer himself as a sacrifice to God, and so put away sin. He is pointed out to u... Read More

Another Gospel

Many who have read thus far may well feel that they do not recognize the gospel with which they are familiar in what has been said. It is my contention that there is a real and basic difference between the biblical gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the prevailing manmade substitute. To substantiat... Read More
