Diary - First Pastorate 1722 AT NEW YORK PASTORATE Dec. 18. This day made the 35th Resolution. The reason why I, in the least, question my interest in God’s love and favor, is, — 1. Because I cannot speak so fully to my experience of that preparatory work, of which divines speak: — 2. I do not remember that I experienced regeneration, exactly in those steps, in which divines say it is generally wrought: — 3. I do n.. 2011. 8. 25.
두려움 없이 사는것(LIVING WITHOUT FEAR) 하나님께서는 우리가 어떻게 두려움없이 살수있는지 보여주십니다. “사랑 안에 두려움이 없고 온전한 사랑이 두려움을 내어 쫓나니…” (요한일서 4:18) 간단히 말하면, 우리가 두려움을 가지고 산다면 온전한 사랑을 알지 못한다는 것입니다. 요한은 “하나님에 대한 사랑은 모든 두려움을 쫓는다”.. 2011. 8. 24.
예수님처럼 살고 사랑하기(LIVING AND LOVING AS JESUS DID) “하나님이 우리를 사랑하시는 사랑을 우리가 알고 믿었노니 하나님은 사랑이시라 사랑 안에 거하는 자는 하나님 안에 거하고 하나님도 그의 안에 거하시느니라. 이로써 사랑이 우리에게 온전히 이루어진 것은 우리로 심판 날에 담대함을 가지게 하려 함이니 주께서 그러하심과 같이 우리도 이 세상.. 2011. 8. 23.
세심한 손길 하나님의 세심한 손길이 있기에 더욱 하나님을 신뢰합니다. 부족함, 환경, 두려움이 엄습해 올지라도 피하지 않고 이끄심에 순종하겠습니다. 굴하지 않게 하시고 비겁하지 않게 하시고 믿음이 흔들리지 않게 하소서. 오직 하나님 안에 거하게 하소서. 2011. 8. 20.
Lectures Introductory to the Books of Kings. Bible Treasury New Series Vol. 8, No. 15 March 1911 etc. 1 Kings 1 - 8. The books of First and Second Samuel show us the failure of the priesthood, and, in consequence, when a state of evident shame and dishonour overspread the face of Israel, the heart of the people desired a king, to the disparagement of the prophets that judged Israel whom the Lord had raised up in extraordinary grace. But, .. 2011. 8. 19.
2 Samuel Lectures Introductory to the Study of the Earlier Historical Books of the Old Testament. 2 Samuel 1 - 12. We have seen the sorrowful circumstances out of which arose the first desire to have a king in Israel, and the remarkable fact that, although it was a sin, God nevertheless did not put the people back into the condition in which they had been before they sought in this to be like the nation.. 2011. 8. 19.
1 Samuel Lectures Introductory to the Study of the Earlier Historical Books of the Old Testament. 1 Samuel 1-8. The first Book of Samuel (or of Kings as with some) brings before us that great change for which the Book of Ruth was a preparation, and in order to which the Spirit of God closed it with the generations until they come down to David. It is sufficiently plain to the simplest reader that Saul o.. 2011. 8. 19.
Diary - Dwight's Preface - 1829 PREFACE TO JONATHAN EDWARDS DIARY By Sereno Dwight, 1829 HIS DIARY The diary of Mr. Edwards begins Dec. 18, 1722, when he was nineteen years of age. As far as to Jan. 15th, at night, it is written on two detached slips of paper; and the remainder in a book. [He mentions, Jan. 14th, his making the book, and annexing the loose papers to it.] As it commences abruptly, and as near as possible to th.. 2011. 8. 19.
Diary - Back at Home - 1723 BACK IN EAST WINDSOR WITH TRAVELS TO NORWICH AND BOSTON Wednesday forenoon, May 1. Last night I came home, after my melancholy parting from New York. I have always, in every different state of life I have hitherto been in, thought that the troubles and difficulties of that state were greater than those of any other state that I proposed to be in; and when I have altered, with assurance of mendi.. 2011. 8. 19.
Diary - After Receiving Masters Degree - 1723 AFTER RECEIVING MASTER’S DEGREE AT YALE Thursday forenoon, Oct. 4, 1723. Have this day fixed and established it, that Christ Jesus has promised me faithfully, that, if I will do what is my duty, and according to the best of my prudence in the matter, that my condition in this world shall be better for me than any other condition whatever, and more to my welfare, to all eternity. And, therefor.. 2011. 8. 19.
Christ's Agony LUKE 22:44. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. OUR Lord Jesus Christ, in his original nature, was infinitely above all suffering, for he was "God over all, blessed for evermore;" but, when he became man, he was not only capable of suffering, but partook of that nature that is remarkably feeble and exposed.. 2011. 8. 19.
Christians A Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A Peculiar People Christians A Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A Peculiar People 5 Sermons 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Subject: That true Christians are: I. A chosen generation. II. A royal priesthood. III. A holy n.. 2011. 8. 19.
보혜사께서 오시다(THE COMFORTER HAS COME) 예수님께서는 성령을 “보혜사”라 말씀하셨습니다. 성령을 우리의 보혜사로 알아야 하기도 하지만, 성령께서 어떻게 우리를 위로하시는지를 꼭 알아야 합니다. 그래야 육에서 오는 위로인지 성령께서 주시는 위로인지 분별할 수 있기 때문입니다. 외로움에 짓눌린 형제가 있다고 가정해 봅시다. 그.. 2011. 8. 19.
믿음으로 말미암는 구원 (엡2:8) "너희가 … 믿음으로 말미암아 구원을 얻었느니라. " (엡 2:8)1. 하나님이 사람에게 베푸신 모든 복은 순전히 하나님의 은혜, 즉 그의 부요하심과 호의에서 오는 것입니다. 이는 전혀 과분한, 사람이 그의 자비(창32:10)의 가장 적은 것도 요구할 권리가 아주 없음에도 불구하고-거저 주시는, 과분한 호의로부터 주어진 것들입니다. 하나님께서 '흙으로 사람을 지으시고 생기를 불어 넣으사 생령이 되게 하셨으며'(창2:7), 그 영혼에 하나님의 형상을 새겨 넣으시고, '만물을 그 발 아래 복종케 하셨던 것도'(시8:6,고전15:27) 거저 주시는 은혜이었습니다. 그리고 오늘날 우리에게 생명과, 호흡 그리고 만물이 지속되는 것도 그 같은 거저 주시는 은혜에 의한 것입니다. (행17:25)왜냐하면 하나님 손에 .. 2011. 8. 18.
기도하는 삶(A LIFE OF PRAYER) 성령께서는 우리를 기도하는 삶으로 인도하시기 위해 오셨습니다. “이와 같이 성령도 우리의 연약함을 도우시나니 우리는 마땅히 기도할 바를 알지 못하나 오직 성령이 말할 수 없는 탄식으로 우리를 위하여 친히 간구하시느니라” (로마서 8:26) 바울이 우리의 기도하는 삶에서 성령의 역할에 대해 .. 2011. 8. 18.
당신은 진정으로 회심했는가? (행9:3-9) “사울이 행하여 다메섹에 가까이 가더니 홀연히 하늘로서 빛이 저를 둘러 비추는지라 땅에 엎드러져 들으매 소리 있어 가라사대 사울아 사울아 네가 어찌하여 나를 핍박하느냐 하시거늘 대답하여 주여 뉘시오니이까 가라사대 나는 네가 핍박하는 예수라 너는 일어나 성으로 들어가라 행할 것을 네게.. 2011. 8. 17.
승리하는 교회(A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH) 승리하는 교회는 지금도 극심한 믿음의 시험을 극복하고 일어서고 있습니다. 종말의 교회는 오랜 기간의 고통과 혹독한 시련을 지나오고 있습니다. 성령께서는 그에게 속한 사람들을 완전히 깨진 상태로 이끌어내고 계십니다. 성령께서는 사람들이 자신들의 육체의 연약함을 볼 수 있는 상태로 이끄.. 2011. 8. 17.
승리를 향한 길을 가면서(ON THE PATH TO VICTORY) 예수님을 따르는 모든 사람들은 공통적으로 산의 정상에 이르는 듯한 절정의 축복 또는 승리를 경험한 후에 엄청난 영적인 침체를 겪게 됩니다. 우리는 이런 경험을 정체기를 의미하는 “건기”(“dry spell”)라고 부르는데, 이는 영적 어둠으로 깊이 빠져드는 것과 같은 느낌으로, 하나님의 특별하신 .. 2011. 8. 16.
준비하라(BE READY) 마태복음 24장에서 예수님은 자신의 재림에 대해 준비할 것을 가르치시면서 비유를 사용하셨습니다. “이러므로 너희도 준비하고 있으라 생각하지 않은 때에 인자가 오리라 충성되고 지혜 있는 종이 되어 주인에게 그 집 사람들을 맡아 때를 따라 양식을 나눠 줄 자가 누구냐 주인이 올 때에 그 종이 .. 2011. 8. 16.
Compassionate Gentleness As I was sitting in my chair this morning, I was watching the birds in our feeders outside. We have five feeders and enjoy watching the cardinals, finches, house wrens, redheaded woodpeckers, robins, sparrows, hummingbirds and even the occasional bluebird. I had opened the sliding doors to feel the outside breeze. Suddenly something startled the birds and they all took off at the same time. One.. 2011. 8. 16.
Authentic Peace Early on in my adult life I struggled with what it means to experience the peace of God in very hard situations. I thought the answer was all about saying the right things. When Melanie and I would face financial struggles, I would repeatedly recite verses about God being my Provider and insist I knew that when the time came that the money needed to be there, it would be there. Again and again,.. 2011. 8. 16.
Absurd Forgiveness When Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, he wrongly assumed His God would be angry but instead God came looking for Him to take His regular evening walk. When Abraham sent his wife, Sarah, into Pharaoh’s tent to protect his own life by allowing her to have sex with another man, God told Pharaoh that he was on dangerous ground and that he’d better get her out of there right now. The next word.. 2011. 8. 12.
Christian Zeal "It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good." (Galatians 4:18) Zeal is a subject, like many others in religion, which is sadly misunderstood. Many would be ashamed to be thought zealous Christians. Many are ready to say of zealous people what Festus said of Paul: "You are out of your mind, Paul!" he shouted, "Your great learning is driving you insane" (Acts 26:24). But zeal is a sub.. 2011. 8. 10.
Christian Leaders of the 18th Century - Practical Lessons It only remains for me now to point out a few practical lessons. FOOTNOTE: The rest of this section is taken from the concluding chapter of Christian Leaders. They are lessons which are strongly impressed on my own mind. Thankful should I be if I could impress them on the minds of others! 1: In the first place, would we know the right instrumentality for doing good in the present day? Evil is a.. 2011. 8. 10.
Christ is All (2) "Christ is all" (Col. 3:11). The words of the text which heads this page are few, short and soon spoken; but they contain great things. Like those golden sayings, "To me to live is Christ," "I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me," they are singularly rich and suggestive (Phil. 1:21; Gal. 2:20). These three words are the essence and substance of Christianity. If our hearts can really go alon.. 2011. 8. 10.
Christ is All (1) THE words of the text which heads this page are few, short, and soon spoken; but they contain great things. Like those golden sayings: "To me to live is Christ,"-"I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me,"-they are singularly rich and suggestive. (Phil. i. 21; Gal. ii. 20.) These three words are the essence and substance of Christianity. If our hearts can really go along with them, it is well.. 2011. 8. 10.
헌금의 기본 원칙 "성도를 위하는 연보에 대하여는 내가 갈라디아 교회들에게 명한 것 같이 너희도 그렇게 하라 매주일 첫날에 너희 각 사람이 이를 얻은 대로 저축하여 두어서 내가 갈 때에 연보를 하기 않게 하라 내가 이를 때에 너희의 인정한 사람에게 편지를 주어 너희의 은혜를 예루살렘으로 가지고 가게 하려니.. 2011. 8. 10.
원수의 거짓말(THE LIES OF THE ENEMY) 우리가 시련과 유혹을 당할 때, 사탄은 이러한 거짓말을 들고 우리를 찾아옵니다. “너는 지금 포위당했고 빠져 나갈 길이 없다. 너보다 위대한 종들도 이보다 열악하지 않은 상황에서 포기해버렸다. 이제 네가 무너질 차례다. 너는 실패자다 아니면 이런 일을 겪고 있지 않을 것이다. 너는 뭔가 잘 못 .. 2011. 8. 9.
Unfathomable Love How do we handle it when life seems to make no sense? I think about Job, who said, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” "Job, how can you say that? Don’t you see that cemetery?" "Yes," he'd say, "but I also see that my Redeemer liveth and in the last day shall stand upon the earth." I see Paul in prison. "Paul, how can you write, 'Rejoice in the Lor.. 2011. 8. 9.
Ridiculous Grace The grace of God stands in a category all by itself. There’s nothing to compare with it because there’s nothing else like it in time or eternity. Grace is expression of the complete goodness of Pure Love toward those who have done nothing and never can do anything to deserve it or reciprocate for it. Either grace is a unilateral act or it’s not grace. The minute we think we owe anything f.. 2011. 8. 7.
