Following The Lord Jesus Christ
The subject here is a vital one: following the Lord Jesus. We have here three different people, all talking about following the Lord Jesus. We do not know their names; we do not know what happened to them after- wards; but we have very clearly set before us the way the Lord Jesus dealt with them and the things He said to them. Now the first. “It came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto Him, Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest.” In the account we read this morning (Matthew 8. 18-22), we are told that this man was a scribe, which means he was an eminent man. The Lord Jesus did not have many scribes…

Take My Life And Let It Be
The Apostle Paul instructed the believers at Colosse to teach and admonish one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. That is what I hope to do by explaining the meaning of this hymn, against the backdrop of the Framework of Sovereign Grace.

But he first prepares the Souls of his saints for the things which God hath prepared for them that love him, and then he opens to them the sealed fountain of his love.

Patient In Tribulation
Paul, the inspired, wrote wonderful truths relating to our salvation, in the fifth chapter of Romans, as also in (1 Cor 15), the two embracing the same central truths of sin and salvation, death and life, by Adam and by Christ, as representing sinners justly condemned in Adam, and the same sinners freely justified in Christ. Herein is revealed the whole fullness of the gospel of salvation. In this gospel the man Adam is embraced as the sinner saved, and the man Christ as the Savior. “By man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” Sin brought death to men; righteousness brings life to men. Sin and death are by the one-man Adam, unto all men in him; righteousness and life…
