The Sovereignty Of God
It is well, in a subject of such importance as this, to first of all define our terms. The word sovereignty suggests to the mind the thought of law and government, and in our day what is of greater importance than right government? But—divine sovereignty! What a stupendous theme! It brings us necessarily to consider the divine character. The Westminster Confession of Faith, drawn up by eminently godly men in 1647, says: “There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, invisible, without body, parts, or passion, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute, working all things according to the counsel of His most righteous will, most gracious, merciful and longsuffering.”…

The Everlasting Dominion
Passing through our Borough to see the decorations last Tuesday (June 22nd), my eye caught these words, "His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom." I stood for a moment rivetted, and my heart began to throb at the precious truth underlying these grand words.

Providence And grace
My Beloved Brethren:—Our God is the God of Providence, as he is the God of grace. His revealed word of truth in the Bible abundantly shows this, and it is also fully confirmed and clearly seen in his works of creation.

Were it not so, then God should be defeated, disappointed and frustrated in his infinite design and eternal purpose in his handiworks in the universe.
