Letters: Rev. Dr. MacDonald, North Leith (3)
GLASGOW, 9th December 1878. MY DEAR ROBERT, —From Day to Day is a book of most pleasant and profitable reading. It is 365 meditations—as many as Samuel Rutherford's Letters—as many as Enoch's years of earthly pilgrimage and walking with God. There is a clearness and pointedness in your style of writ... 阅读更多

STEWART, —Your 'Lectures' (On the Covenanters, which Mr. Stewart had been delivering in Hawick.) have reached me this week and last—both of them very fresh and most interesting.

Letters: Rev. Horatius Bonar his brother (2)
DURNESS, SUTHERLANDSHIRE, 11th August 1869. MY DEAR HORACE, —I am often thinking on you and Jane, and the past ways of our God. 'Even so, Father.' May we not apply Christ's words— 'Thou takest away the gift which we would have kept, and givest other gifts. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in T... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. J.H.Thomson, Hightae (1)
CRAIGNURE, ISLE OF MULL, Augst. 16th, 1884. MAN OF ZEBULON, who 'handlest the pen of the writer,' and follower of Ezra and his band, who not only read in the law of God distinctly, but who also 'gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading,' peace be with you. I suppose you are illustra... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. J.H.Wilson Edinburgh (3)
GLASGOW, 14th Jan. 1863. MY DEAR MR. WILSON, —I have been hearing tidings of your state of health that are not very pleasant. Will you, if convenient, drop me a few lines letting me know? For you know Paul, had he been in our day, would have sent Tychicus 'to let us know' his affairs and how he was ... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. James Manson (4)
COLLACE, August 30, 1844. MY DEAR FRIEND, —I am longing to hear of you. Are you better? and where are you? It is a sore trial to be laid aside, but it must be very sanctifying. It seems to be peculiarly a minister's furnace. Remember the Baptist. He preached in full health amid the breezes of the hi... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. John Milne, Perth (13)
KELSO, April 28th, 1846. MY DEAR BROTHER, —Do not forget Monday next. (Day of prayer and fasting) In spite of Satan and the flesh keep it from morning to evening. In spite of the temptation, ‘O this must be done, or 'that sick person must be seen,' or 'that caller on business must be listened to for... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. John Purves, Jedburgh (1)
DURING THE VISIT OF THE DEPUTATION TO THE HOLY LAND JERUSALEM, June 17th, 1839. MY DEAR JOHN,—I scarcely know how to write when sending you a letter from Jerusalem and Mount Zion. Our present residence is actually on the hill of Zion, and our windows look directly on the Mount of Olives. I feel like... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. Malcolm White, Blairgowrie (1)
STRACHUR, 28th August 1879. MY DEAR MR. WHITE,—One word to assure Mrs. White and yourself that you are not forgotten in your sorrow. 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' When the Lord Jesus returns, He will bring with Him the little ones who fell asleep in Him, and how changed they will be! W... 阅读更多

Letters: Rev. William Armstrong, Rutherglen (2)
20 INDIA STREET, 1st Decr.1885. MY DEAR MR. ARMSTRONG, — It was very kind in Mrs. Armstrong to write to me, letting me know that you are making some progress. I wonder what your meditations have been. Did you ever see the little book I enclose (Thoughts in Prospect of Death, by D.Rintoul)— the obser... 阅读更多

Letters: The Misses Church, Glasgow (1)
GLASGOW, 16th Jan. 1884. MY DEAR SISTERS, —An old minister, whom you have had some knowledge of, wrote to his friend a salutation that I offer to you— 'Grace, mercy, and peace shall be with you.' He did not say, 'May grace, mercy, and peace be with you,' but he said, 'Grace shall be with you (see ma... 阅读更多

Letters: The Misses Leiper, Crossford (1)
GLASGOW, 17th Feb.1886. DEAR SISTERS 'in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ' ! Do you not hear the Master saying, as He points downwards to our earth and to your dwelling, 'Our friend Lazarus sleepeth! but I am going to awaken him out of his sleep.' Your brother shall rise ... 阅读更多

Letters: Written for one in spiritual despair (1)
GLASGOW, 9th Oct. 1872. MY DEAR MISS M., —. . . I read with great interest your own letter about your friend who seems so near despair, and this morning your sister has given me more particulars from your friend's letter to you. It is a case that reminds me of the Saviour's words, 'This kind goeth n... 阅读更多

Let’s Not Trouble Ourselves With “What Ifs?”
“Their past experience was not of great use to the Israelites in their journeyings. They needed always to consult God. If you think you will get through anything because you got through before, you will certainly fail. You must ask fresh counsel of God and consult with him continually; and since the... 阅读更多

Meeting as a congregation.
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matt. 18. 20). I believe you will find the origin of public worship in the book of Genesis, that book of beginnings (4. 26). Enos, the son of Seth, was the first preacher, and ministered to the first congrega... 阅读更多

Mr. James Mudie, Montrose (3)
COLLACE, May 31st, 1844. MY DEAR BROTHER, —. . . I did not observe that there were five Sabbaths in June. I suppose therefore I that our Communion will be the last day of June. Now this would leave me the interval of one Sabbath to come to Dr. Brewster. . . . But I find that to be absent that Sabbat... 阅读更多

Nicodemus.
John 3:1-21 ; 7:50 ; 19:39 We have three scenes given us in the life of Nicodemus. The first is his interview with Christ. How he was awakened we do not know. It is of no consequence when and how it is done, if it is the beginning of the great change. You say, 'I cannot go one step towards Christ ti... 阅读更多

On Holy Ground
“You can remember when you thought you were to get into heaven in spite of God’s holiness. Now you know that it is because of His Holiness that you get there, for none but the all-holy God would have sent His Son to die for us, or would have known that only a perfectly holy heaven could make us happ... 阅读更多

Onesiphorus: The New Testament Ebedmelech.
2 Timothy 1: 16-18 and 4: 19 Paul had a heart that felt everything keenly. It is from his pen that 'Rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep' comes. It is he who wrote in Phil.4: 8: 'the bowels of Christ Jesus.' Many times he speaks in this way, 'desiring greatly to see thee.' ... 阅读更多

Palestine for the Young - The Tribe of Levi
The prophecy of Jacob regarding Levi was remarkably fulfilled : "I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel" (Gen. 49. 7). You have to search for their dwellings in every corner of the land. They were scattered and divided over all Israel; for they got forty-eight cities, taken out of a... 阅读更多

Andrew Bonar (1810 - 1892)
He was a well-known pastor in Scotland with the Free Church. His brother Horatius was another well-known minister who was contemporary with Robert Murray Mchyene and others in those days. They saw a move of revival in their churches where the Spirit brought many immediate conversations in a short period of time.He is best known for his work on compiling the life of the prophet of Dundee: Robert Murray Mchyene: "Memoir and Remains of Robert Murray McCheyne." One cannot read this volume and feel the sobriety of eternity and the fear of the Lord. He also wrote a wonderful volume on Leviticus.
Andrew Alexander Bonar was a minister of the Free Church of Scotland, and the youngest brother of Horatius Bonar.
He studied at Edinburgh; was minister at Collace, Perthshire, 1838 - 1856 (both in the Church of Scotland and the Free Church); and of Finnieston Free Church, Glasgow, 1856 till his death.
He was identified with evangelical and revival movements and adhered to the doctrine of premillennialism. With Robert Murray McCheyne he visited Palestine in 1839 to inquire into the condition of the Jews there. During the visit of Dwight L. Moody to Britain in 1874 and 1875, Moody was warmly welcomed by Bonar, despite the latter receiving considerable criticism from other Calvinist ministers in the Free Church.
Andrew Bonar preached from the whole Bible, the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation. When one of his friends remarked on his originality in finding subjects for preaching, and wondered where he got all his texts, he just lifted up his Bible. He did not ignore any part of it, but explained it all. He did not shy away from any passages that might be seen as unpopular or unpleasant. Even the first chapters of Chronicles became 'God calling the roll of mankind.' He made it come alive as a history of men and women, living in their time, as we live in ours, accountable to God.
Christ and Him crucified was at the centre of all his preaching, in all parts of the Bible. He declared 'the whole counsel of God', and was deeply aware of his responsibility as a man of God. He spent hours every day in prayer and meditation of the Scriptures, and asking for the Holy Spirit to show the truth to him, so that he might pass it on to his flock. He wrote in a letter: "Persevering prayerfulness is harder for the flesh than preaching."
Above all, he was aware that his personal holiness would be of crucial importance to his preaching, as his remark shows: "Sins of teachers are teachers of sins."
