And the blessed promise to mourners in Zion is that there shall be a "fountain opened for sin and uncleanness" (Zech. 13:1). Having known something of the sweetness of the waters of life in my own soul, we desire to send the TRUTH of His grace to other thirsty souls.W.

APOSTATE TEACHERS “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude vs. 4.

THE SINNER SAVED BY SPECIAL MERCY “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

THE THREE-FOLD CRY OF A CONCERNED SOULThis is a day when not many sinners are anxious about their souls’ need. The pleasures of sin for a season, along with the pursuits of job, family and social life, have inoculated them against any terror of soul over their final state. They go along with a whirlwind of activities, many activities that are seemingly harmless and/or necessary—including works of

MAN in his natural state can enjoy no solid comfort, nor cherish any rational hope. He is by nature a child of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins, having no hope and without God in the world. The believing soul has been led to see himself a sinful, miserable creature, wholly unable to help himself; and by the influence of the Divine Spirit, faith has been wrought in his soul, by which he has been

In recent years, with the widespread campaign against the use of tobacco and its implications for lung cancer, etc., many restaurants have separated dining areas into SMOKING or NON-SMOKING sections. When you enter, ready to be seated, often a waitress will present the query: “SMOKING or NON-SMOKING?”The soul-winners got hold of the question and began to picture “HELL” as “SMOKING” and “HEAVEN”

Here is what our Lord said to the most “legalistic” people on the face of the earth in His day. And you will notice that He did not in any wise set aside the Law and the Old Testament — He merely put them in their proper perspective. “Don't do away with the words of Moses; believe him and you will believe Me. If you don't believe him, you won't believe Me either.” Read John 5:42-47 carefully.MY

NOT IN WORD BUT IN POWER (1 Cor. 4:20).A form of words, though e’er so sound,Can never save a soul;The Holy Ghost must give the wound,And make the wounded whole.Though God’s election is a truth,Small comfort there I see,Till I am told by God's own mouth,That He has chosen me.Sinners, I read, are justified,By faith in Jesus’ blood;But when to me that blood’s applied,’Tis then it does me good.To

DEATH SPIRITUALAccording to the Bible there is a living state which is also a dead state. This is the condition of the majority of mankind today. They live and breathe and have their being in God, yet they are dead to that very God in whom is life! And many of them are destined to continue in this state all their early days and die without any hope of the new life, the new birth or eternal life.

Editorial “CHRIST died for you,” we are told by today’s preachers, “but He also died for Judas. It is what you do, what you add to His death that results in salvation.” Then Christ is not sufficient and He lied when He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). Also when He said, “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).Every species of Arminianism and legalism is criminal, for it

NOTICE this text carefully, for here we have the gracious words of our Lord Jesus Himself, as He describes His mission into this sin-cursed world:“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”As we look at this text of scripture, we can see the intention or purpose for which Christ came into the world. Corresponding with this, in John 6:38 our Lord declared, “I came down

Somewhere in my readings I came upon this comforting thought.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------An old and exercised believer was seeking to examine His “evidences of grace.” He could not be satisfied with any one. “Experience” he had none. “Saving Faith” he could not claim. His “repentance” needed to be repented of. His “joy” was nil, his “

The Danger of Resting on a False FoundationTHE Word of God clearly reveals that there is only one true foundation on which a soul can build for eternity. That foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ. All other foundations are of necessity false. Speaking in another figure the Saviour declared: “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.” “For,” as the Word

Face these solemn factsSadly (for me and for those of us who love the old Gospel of God’s sovereign saving grace in Christ the Lord) we live in a day when almost everyone teaches man's free will to do good. Consequently preachers want to “offer” Christ and the spiritual blessings of the Gospel to all men indiscriminately. Most preachers of today believe that in the heart which God says is “

A Solemn Question. We quote from a dear friend in Christ.Every passage which invites individuals to flee to Christ has a limited scope. Isaiah 55:1, for example, is limited, to the thirsty. Matthew 11:28-30 is for those who are heavy laden. II Peter 3:9 addresses the us-ward, which verse eight calls the beloved — with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

This old drawing by our daughter Edna shows the folly of most ministers today, in “offering” the Gospel to a spiritually dead sinner. Read Col. 2:13 and Eph. 2:1. The truth is not discerned by natural men but only by those who have been brought into new, spiritual life by God's Spirit in REGENERATION! Read 1 Cor. 2:14.

WHAT IS WRONG?TODAY’S preachers have many converts with all sorts of religious lives: Most are loose-living, morally-wrecked, nerves-jaded, TV-idolaters, and yet, “having accepted Christ as Saviour” (in their words), they are not to be questioned as genuine. Others perhaps are more seriously religious yet lack any Scriptural evidence at the foundation of their “Christian profession.” But we are

YOU will never have any sweet communion with Jesus till your heart is broken to receive Him as a brokenhearted Lord. You will never have any tenderness and sympathy with a dying Saviour till your spirit is made contrite within you, so as to see and believe in an agonizing Jesus. But when you are passing through these exercises you seem not to have a grain of religion, not any one thing in your

IN CONVERSION the sorrow and mourning of all truly repentant sinners shall be great, and though it be not so visible outwardly, yet it shall sink the deeper and be fastened within the heart. For a sorrow, which on account of its uncommon weight men cannot unload or throw off, is a very great sorrow which is usually also continuous.

They began to calcu­late how many souls could be won for a certain amount of dollars. “If to

Well, I will give you a few thoughts that will, under God’s blessing, prove helpful. As to the word “world” (or cosmos), the old timers understood it to mean the world system or the world order. It is that order of political, social and religious life

I would like to give you two rules by which you can immediately judge any New Testament English translation:* Does it have “propitiation” at Romans 3:25? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones said that any version that substitutes “atonement” or “expiation” here is a faulty translation.* Does it retain the “begottens” concerning our Lord in John’s Gospel and First Epistle?

There is absolutely nothing unlovely about the Lord Jesus Christ! But not a single natural man in the whole world can see and appreciate His ineffable beauty. They see in Him no comeliness, no beauty that they should desire Him, says the prophet (Isaiah 53:2-3). He is despised and rejected by the vast majority of mankind. Only a quickened elect sinner ever gets a glimpse of Christ’s “altogether

WE HEAR MUCH of “common grace,” but the GRACE that saves, as illustrated in the Bible, if truly “grace,” must be PARTICULAR, not COMMON or UNIVERSAL!GRACE, if truly God’s “unmerited favor,” is BESTOWED SOVEREIGNLY by the Spirit, and not merely a general OFFER by the preacher.GRACE, if truly “grace,” gives SPIRITUAL LIFE prior to a man’s ability to either RECOGNIZE IT or RECEIVE it.

(Read Ezekiel 36:26)Surely it DOES NOT mean to receive a profession of religion. It is more than being written up on the church roll, more than having “a name to live.” Receiving a new heart DOES NOT mean that you have taken the preacher’s word for the safety of your soul — the preacher, the profession, the outward formality of religion, all may deceive. What does “a new heart” really mean?1. It

THE professing believer, who does not truly know the Lord’s great salvation, is pictured in the Word of God as a Pharisee.
