It is not left to our own option whether we shall praise God or not. Praise is God’s most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of his grace, is bound to praise God from day to day. It is true we have no authoritative rubric for daily praise; we have no commandment prescribing…

HOLY BIBLE, BOOK DIVINE

Strange enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This morning it may be well for us to see the typical teaching of so singular a rule. We, too, are lepers, and may read the law of the leper as…

Foxe’s Christian Martyrs (Part 6)

A GODLY WOMAN Of all the people who suffered for Christ and His truth, I know of none so admirable as the godly woman put to death in Chipping Sodbury about this time.

O WORD OF GOD INCARNATE

William W. How, 1823–1897 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) Everyone has a basic premise for his life’s convictions. The Christian begins with Jesus Christ, who came to…

Perhaps no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light than when he is spoken of as stooping from his throne, and coming down from heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. We love him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniquity, would not destroy…
