by Thomas Boston | It is by the help of the Holy Spirit that we are able to pray, Gal 4:6, “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Rom 8:26, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be...

"When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways." - 1 Corinthians 13:11

We see that our mind is the primary place of difference between a child and adult. When the mind is changed from childhood to adulthood the rest of the person follows.

How is our mind changed? (When we present ourselves as a living sacrifice to God and refuse to be conformed to the world’s way, we are transformed by the renewal of our mind)...

The subject allotted to me is one that comes in a logical sequence as well as in a chronological sequence to what we have already heard in this Conference. It is in a sense a kind of postscript, or critique of the approaches to reformation which we have been considering, and may, therefore, legitimately come under the general heading, although in and of itself it cannot properly be...

by Fred Greco | Church Discipline—the very phrase seems to bring to the minds of most Christians a parade of horrors. It seems like our current image of church discipline is that of repressive, out-of-touch tyrants telling us everything that we may and may not do. This is not surprising when we consider the public incidents of abuse of authority both inside and outside the church...

The Lord Jesus not only gives many and excellent benefits to His church, but He and His Church mutually belong to each other, are united with each other—and exercise communion with each other, all of which is wondrous beyond comparison. These three elements comprehend all true felicity...

by Abraham Kuyper | The need of divine guidance is never more deeply felt than when one undertakes to give instruction in the work of the Holy Spirit—so unspeakably tender is the subject, touching the inmost secrets of God and the soul’s deepest mysteries....

by Scott Bushey | Over the ages, many people have been put to death for crimes they have committed by various methods. For example, in France, around 1789, the preferred method was the guillotine; up until 1981, in fact. The Germans liked ‘firing squads’ (along w/ the ‘falling ax’). In America, the creation of the electric chair was by (believe it!) a dentist, in 1881; Is that surprising? This chair, it was said, was a more humane attempt at...

by Thomas Watson | It will be enquired in the next place, “Who is the godly man?” For the full answer to this I shall lay down several specific signs and characteristics of a godly man. A godly man is taught by God: “this anointing teaches you of all things” (1 John 2:27), that is, all things essential to salvation. A godly man has “the good knowledge of the Lord” (2 Chron. 30:22). He has “Sound wisdom”...
