Description:

Puritan Gem: "The pleasures arising from a right understanding of the divine testimonies are of the most delightful order; earthly enjoyments are utterly contemptible if compared with them. The sweetest joys, yea, the sweetest of the sweetest falls to his portion who has God's truth to be his heritage." —Charles Spurgeon [more Puritan gems]Disclaimer: While we seek to provide the very best resources, the inclusion of a resource does not mean every statement therein is endorsed."Is there calamity in a city, and the LORD hath not done it ?" (Amos 3:6). "Hear ye the rod and Him who has appointed it" (Micah 6:9). "Every providence hath a voice" (Thomas Manton). While we cannot infallibly dogmatize all of the reasons why God is plaguing our world today with COVID-19 (because our generation does not have living prophets), it is revealed in Scripture that He relates to the nations – and that at times even chastens them (Psalm 94:10). This series sets forth some of the Biblical principles we would do well to prayerfully consider when thinking about the possible "whys" of the coronavirus. [go]As I address myself to the very practical subject of helps to dealing with remaining sin, I wish to do so with three broad fundamental biblical and theological propositions forming the base upon which these practical exhortations will be given. The order of Scripture is always: You are and therefore be. This is what you have, and in the light of it, therefore do. Doctrine is always the basis of exhortation unto practice, and all exhortations to practice are rooted in the realities of Christian doctrine. [more]I invite the attention of my readers to the subject of sickness. The subject is one which we ought frequently to look in the face. We cannot avoid it. It needs no prophet's eye to see sickness coming to each of us in turn one day. "In the midst of life we are in death." Let us turn aside for a few moments, and consider sickness as Christians. The consideration will not hasten its coming, and by God's blessing may teach us wisdom. [more]We live in a day when multitudes have been assured they are saved because they have walked an aisle, said "the sinner's prayer" or signed a decision card; yet they show none of the signs of being born again that are given in God's Word. Christ said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). Therefore, assurance of regeneration is essential in order to have assurance of salvation. This tract shows from God's Word the urgent need for assurance and what changes will take place in the lives of those who have been born again. [go]"Down Life's Path" depicts the vanity and consequences of seeking happiness in the things of the world and gives the only solution, which is faith in Christ. Not only can this tract be useful for witnessing to unbelievers but also for encouraging believers. It serves as a reminder of the happiness they have in Christ, which is often needed in a world filled with sorrow. The poem "Assurance" is included so that people will know what changes to expect in their lives when they have saving faith. [go]
