Gleaning from Puritan Prayers- Compiled by David Jonescue Lightly edited to update to modern Standard English由Robert Bolton

Christians must remember that, rather than receiving their perceived needs it is better to extend themselves on behalf of the more needy because Christ said there is the greater blessing in life. You Will be More Blessed to Give Than to Receive.由Grant Van Leuven

This is the continuation of my narration of the KJV of the Holy Bible. I will be continuing to record by chapter instead of a bunch of chapters to fill time. I'm of the hope, that I can be reconditioned to narrate longer as the days pass.May the Lord Jesus Christ Bless and preserve you.由Duane Linn

A good, wise, Biblical friend will help his friends be better versions of themselves. Be a Friend Who Sharpens Friends.由Grant Van Leuven

Should it be asked, But does not the Holy Spirit overcome a man's enmity and hatred when He convicts the sinner of his sins and his need of Christ; and does not the Spirit of God produce such conviction in many that perish? Such language betrays confusion of thought: were such a man's enmity really "overcome," then he would readily turn to Christ; …

The Work of Dying Daily - Sermon 3由John Owen

Words of Warning For Daily Life由C. H. Spurgeon

由C. H. Spurgeon

由John Bunyan

由George Lawson D.D.

It may be worth our while to inquire into the especial nature of this duty which we are exhorted unto; for we may every day more and more understand the weakness of many, who think, it may be, they know something of it, when they know not what it means. We may, therefore, consider three things in it:-- (1.) What is the special and immediate object …

Such a sense was impressed on the mind of the man Christ Jesus, in the garden of Gethsemane, of his last sufferings, and that caused His agony. When he had a full sight given him what that wrath of God was that he was to suffer, the sight was overwhelming to him; it made his soul exceeding sorrowful, even unto death. Christ was going to be cast int…

It is the duty of all believers to daily prepare themselvesto die cheerfully, comfortably, and, if possible, triumphantly in theLord. Note that one can die safely without necessarily dying cheerfully and comfortably. Every believer, regardless of who they are, will die safely, but we witness many believers who do not die cheerfully and comfortably.…

The will is so bound by the slavery of sin, that it cannot excite itself, much less devote itself to anything good; for such a disposition is the beginning of a conversion to God, which in the Scriptures is attributed solely to Divine grace. Thus Jeremiah prays to the Lord to convert or turn him, if he would have him to be turned. Whence the Prophe…

Jesus God's holy High Priest has made God's people perfectly and perpetually holy. Christ Has Made You Perfectly, Perpetually Holy for Heaven.由Grant Van Leuven

From the book, The Prayer Life由Andrew Murray

Ministers Need It Ministers are naturally hard-hearted and unbelieving as other men (Mark 6:14), so that Christ has often to unbraid them. Their faith is all from above. They must receive from God all that they give. In order to speak the truth with power, they need a personal grasp of it. It is impossible to speak with power from mere head knowled…

To will sin as sin, or as purely evil, is not in the capacity of a creature,neither of man nor devil. The will of a rational creature cannot willanything but under the appearance of good, of some good in the sinitself, or some good in the issue of it. Much more is this from God,who being infinitely good, cannot will evil as evil, and being infinite…

The Synod of Dort (also known as the Synod of Dordt or the Synod of Dordrecht) was a European transnational Synod held in Dordrecht in 1618–1619, by the Dutch Reformed Church, to settle a divisive controversy caused by the rise of Arminianism.由William Ames

Because God hears His people thus they come to have a conversation with Him. Talk to God, He Hears Your Prayers.由Grant Van Leuven

This class is based on three letters of John Newton illustrating 3 epochs of the Christian Life. Taken from Mark 4:28由Thomas Sullivan

The poor widow was deeply distressed over her loss, and her language to Elijah is a strange mixture of faith and unbelief, pride and humility. It was the inconsistent outburst of an agitated mind as the disconnected and jerky nature of it intimates. First, she asks him, "What have I to do with thee?"—what have I done to displease thee? wherein have…

Suppose that by some painful operation you could have your right arm made a little longer. I don't suppose you would care to undergo the operation. But if you foresaw that by enduring the pain, you'd be able to reach out and save drowning men who would otherwise sink before your eyes, I think you would willingly bear the agony and pay the heavy fee…

A. W. Pink (1886-1952), author of this "Life of Elijah," had a wide experience of conditions in the English-speaking world. Before finally settling in Britain during the "thirties, he had exercised his ministry in Australia and the United States of America. Thereafter he devoted himself to Biblical exposition largely carried on by means of the maga…

God brought the Israelites into those trials and difficulties in the wilderness to humble them, and let them see what was in their hearts, that they might be convinced of their own perverseness by the many discoveries of it under those temptations, and so that they might be sensible that it was not for their righteousness that God made them his peo…

"Disaster Preparedness Preparation." Due to the LA and San Diego fires recently, Elder and Deacon Ron Renner shares about how to be prepared to evacuate and survive during a natural disaster or emergency.

I have a friend who generally sits to hear me every Sunday. One day he asked, "What do you think? You're my only link with better things, but you are an awful man in my estimation, because you don't have the slightest sympathy with me." I replied, "No, I have not. Rather, I don't have the least sympathy with your unbelief." He said, "That makes me …

In publishing the discourse on "Justification," Jonathan Edwards was influenced by the urgent request of several ministers, who were present when a part of it was delivered, and whose opinion and advice he thought deserving of great respect. This discourse, though when first written of a much less size than as it is printed, was preached at two suc…

Of all of the Puritan sermons I have narrated on this subject, Thomas Manton's is the closest and can actually be a shortened summary of John Owen's treatise.由Thomas Manton

With the backdrop of the LA fires near us and the emergency warnings in San Diego, we remember they are a Gospel trumpet warning of Jesus Christ from Revelation 8:7 and that Jesus says in Mark 9 that, unlike the LA fires, the burning sensation of hell will never cease upon the people damned to go there to be punished by God forever. Flee the Fire t…

Paul's Prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19由C. H. Spurgeon

All are guilty before God of sinning against all His law seen in that no one keeps it perfectly. See the Enormity of Your Guilt.由Grant Van Leuven

Diary of personal reflections after the first revival in Northampton while Jonathan Edwards was the pastor.由Jonathan Edwards

Is it to be wondered at, that God should be disposed severely to punish that which earnestly wishes him not to be God, and strives to accomplish this with all its might? Sin opposes the divine nature and existence; it is enmity against God, and is not an idle enemy; it has even engaged in a mortal war with all the attributes of God. John Owen: A Di…

From the life of Jonathan Edwards by Sereno Dwight由Jonathan Edwards

The flesh is "weak," our heart "deceitful"; only by the daily use of means and through fellowship with the godly are we preserved. Oftentimes the failure of a Christian is to be charged against his brethren as much as to his own unfaithfulness. How often when we perceive a saint giving way to hardness of heart we go about mentioning it to others, i…

Now, there are two evils attending the mere performance of this duty, which utterly disappoint all men's attempts for walking with God:—1st. That men without it will go forth, somewhat, at least, in their ownstrength, to walk with God. "Why," say the Pharisees, "can we donothing? 'Are we blind also?' " Acting in the power of self will cleave tosuch…

"We may observe, (1) When God expresseS great indignation in Himself against sin, it is to teach men the greatness of sin in themselves. (2) God gives the same stability unto His threatenings as unto His promises. Men are apt to think the promises are firm and stable, but as for the threatenings, they suppose some way or other they may be evaded. (…

Christians should not imitate evil but imitate good; for so doing shows they are in fact Christians. Follow That Which is Good.由Grant Van Leuven
