생명의 말씀/C.H.Mackintosh130

Epaphras, The Service of Prayer. Colossians 4: 12. C. H. Mackintosh. There is a very striking difference between the inspired records of the people of God and all human biographies. The former may truly be said to be "much in little"; while many of the latter may as truly be said to be "little in much." The history of one of the Old Testament saints — a history stretching over a period of 365 years — is summed up in two sh.. 2009. 12. 17.
Divine Titles. C. H. Mackintosh. It is at once interesting, instructive, and edifying to mark the various titles under which God appears in the Holy Scriptures. These titles are expressive of certain characters and relationships in which God has been pleased to reveal Himself to man; and we are persuaded that the Christian reader will find solid profit and real spiritual refreshment and blessing in the study .. 2009. 12. 17.
Diversity and Unity. C. H. Mackintosh. It is at once interesting and instructive to mark the varied lines of truth presented in the New Testament, all finding their common centre in that blessed One who is the truth. We see this, both in the Gospels and in the Epistles. Each of the four Evangelists, under the direct guidance and power of the Holy Ghost, gives us a distinct view of Christ. Matthew presents Him in Hi.. 2009. 12. 17.
The Discipline of the Assembly — its Ground, Nature, and Object. C. H. Mackintosh. "Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh Thy House, O Lord, for ever" Ps. 93: 5. Here we have, plainly set before us, the real ground of discipline in the assembly. The place of God's presence must be holy: "Be ye holy, for I am holy." It is not upon the miserable principle of "stand by thyself, I am holier than thou." No, thank God.. 2009. 12. 17.
"The dew of Hermon" Psalm 133. C. H. Mackintosh. The expression "the dew of Hermon" has, it seems, long proved "a geographical puzzle" to some. But to one who has the mind of Christ it is no puzzle, but a most striking and beautiful figure. Hermon is the very loftiest peak in all the land of Palestine, and from its snowy cap, when all the surrounding country is parched, the refreshing dew descends upon the mountai.. 2009. 12. 17.
David's Companions and Paul's Friends. 2 Samuel 23; Romans 16. C. H. Mackintosh. How precious are those specific links which are formed by the hand of God! There is the great general link which connects us with all the children of God — all the members of the body of Christ; but there are specific links which we should ever recognize and seek to strengthen and perpetuate, in every right way. We were lately looking, with much inter.. 2009. 12. 17.
The Christian's Mission and how to fulfil it. C. H. Mackintosh. [This little book is sent forth to the Church of God "To all that, in every place, call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. both theirs and ours" with earnest prayer that it may he used of the Holy Spirit to awaken in the hearts of all who may read it a true sense of the Christian's mission, and a fixed purpose to seek, by the grace of God, to fulfil it.. 2009. 12. 17.
The Three Crosses. Luke 23: 39-43. C. H. Mackintosh. Turn aside with us for a few moments and meditate upon those three crosses. If we mistake not, we will find a very wide field of truth opened before us in the brief but comprehensive record given at the head of this article. 1. First of all, we must gaze at the centre cross, or rather at Him who was nailed thereon — Jesus of Nazareth — that blessed One who .. 2009. 12. 17.
Ministry of Reconciliation C. H. Mackintosh. "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation, to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as God though did beseech you by us: we pra.. 2009. 10. 20.
Glad Tidings C. H. Mackintosh. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3: 16. There are some passages in Holy Scripture which seem to contain in a line or two, an entire volume of most precious truth. The verse which we have just penned is one of such. It is part of our Lords memorable discourse with Ni.. 2009. 10. 20.
The Life and Times of Elijah. C. H. Mackintosh. Introduction The exercise of prophetic ministry in Israel, of old, was always a proof of the nation's decline. So long as the great national institutions were maintained in their vigour, and the machinery of the Mosaic economy carried out according to its original design, there was no need of anything extraneous, and therefore the voice of a prophet was not heard; but when fai.. 2009. 10. 20.
The Great Commission C. H. Mackintosh. "And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behaved Christ to suffer, .. 2009. 10. 20.
The History of the Tribe of Levi. C. H. Mackintosh. THE TRIBE OF LEVI ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THEIR FAMILIES Name Meaning First Class Gershon A stranger, or exile Lael Dedicated, or belonging to God Eliasaph God hath added Shimei Hearing, Renowned Libni For edification, White Second Class Kohath Congregation, Assembly Hebron Association, communion Amram Exalted people, of the exalted One Izhar Oil Uzziel The strength of God Third.. 2009. 10. 20.
The Life and Times of Josiah. 2 Chronicles 34 - 35. C. H. Mackintosh. Two thousand four hundred years have rolled away since king Josiah lived and reigned; but his history is pregnant with instruction, which can never lose its freshness or its power. The moment at which he ascended the throne of his fathers was one of peculiar gloom and heaviness. The tide of corruption, swollen by many a tributary stream, had risen to the .. 2009. 10. 20.
The Life and Times of David — the life of faith. C. H. Mackintosh. Introduction The steps which led to the setting up of a king in Israel are easily traced, and easily accounted for, by all who have studied with any attention the humbling history of the human heart, either as presented in themselves or in others. In the opening chapters of First Samuel we are furnished with a most instructive and solemn picture of Israe.. 2009. 10. 20.
The Call of God — Abraham and Lot. Genesis 12. C. H. Mackintosh. In a day of such widely extended profession as the present, it is specially important that Christians should be deeply impressed with the necessity of realising personally the call of God, without which there can be no permanence or steadiness in the Christian course. It is a comparatively easy thing to make a profession at a time when profession prevails; but it i.. 2009. 10. 20.
Simon Peter — His life and its lessons. C. H. Mackintosh. Part 1 We propose, in dependence upon the Spirit's guidance, to write a few papers on the life and ministry of the blessed servant of Christ whose name stands at the head of this paper. We shall trace him through the Gospels, through the Acts, and through the Epistles, for he appears in all the three grand divisions of the New Testament. We shall meditate upon his call, upon h.. 2009. 10. 20.
Pre-Millennial Doctrine or Waiting for the Son? Revelation 1: 5-7. C. H. Mackintosh. In a day like the present, when knowledge on every question is so widely diffused, it is most needful to press upon the conscience of the Christian reader the vast distinction between merely holding the doctrine of the Lord's second coming and actually waiting for His appearing (1 Thess. 1: 10). Many, alas! hold and, it may be, eloquently preach, the doctrin.. 2009. 10. 20.
Christian perfection: What is it? C. H. Mackintosh. There are few thoughtful students of the New Testament who have not, at some time or another, felt a little perplexed as to the real force and application of the word "perfect," which is of frequent occurrence. This word is used in such a variety of connections that it is deeply important we should be clear as to what the Holy Ghost means by it in each particular case. We beli.. 2009. 10. 20.
Papers on the Lord's Coming. C. H. Mackintosh. Contents Introductory The Fact Itself The Double Bearing of the Fact “The Coming” and “The Day” The Two Resurrections The Judgment The Jewish Remnant Christendom The Ten Virgins The Talents Concluding Remarks ___________________________ INTRODUCTORY The attentive reader of the New Testament will find in its pages three solemn and weighty facts presented to his view; na.. 2009. 10. 20.
Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. C. H. Mackintosh. We trust it may not be deemed out of place if we venture to offer a word of counsel and encouragement to all who have been and are engaged in the blessed work of preaching the gospel of the grace of God. We are, in some measure, aware of the difficulties and discouragements which attend upon the path of every evangelist, whatever may be his sphere of labour or measure of gift;.. 2009. 10. 20.
Conversion: What is it? C. H. Mackintosh. Part 1 1 Thessalonians 1 presents a very striking and beautiful picture of what we may truly call genuine conversion. We propose to study the picture in company with the reader. If we are not much mistaken, we shall find the study at once interesting and profitable. It will furnish an answer, distinct and clear, to the question which stands at the head of this article, namely,.. 2009. 10. 20.
Now and Then; or, Time and Eternity. The Substance of a Lecture on Luke 12. C. H. Mackintosh. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor. 4: 18. The principles of truth laid down in Luke 12 are of the most solemn and searching character. Their practical bearing is such.. 2009. 10. 20.
"Thou and thy house." C. H. Mackintosh. Preface. Nothing can be more truly beneficial for the soul than to be brought under the searching power of the word of God, — to have our treacherous hearts examined by its sure light, and all our ways fairly tested by its holy precepts. “The law of the Lord is perfect." It is God's means of effectually dealing with His people, and accomplishing in them the purposes of His.. 2009. 10. 20.
The Sabbath, the Law, and the Christian Ministry. C. H. Mackintosh. "I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say." A Scriptural Enquiry. In resuming our lectures, for the winter months, we feel called upon to offer a few words of explanation to all such as may be desirous of knowing something of the doctrines held by those persons who stand connected, in any measure, with this service. We feel that such persons have a claim upon us, to which w.. 2009. 10. 20.
Prayer, in its proper place. C. H. Mackintosh. There is a strong tendency in the human mind to take a one-sided view of things. This should be carefully guarded against. It would ever be our wisdom to view things as God presents them to us, in His holy word. We should put things where He puts them, and leave them there. Were this more faithfully attended to, the truth would be much more clearly understood, and souls much b.. 2009. 10. 20.
"The man of God." C. H. Mackintosh. "That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Tim. 3: 17. The sentence which we have just penned occurs in Paul's second Epistle to his beloved son Timothy — an epistle marked, as we know, by intense individuality. All thoughtful students of scripture have noticed the striking contrast between the two Epistles of Paul to Timothy. In the fir.. 2009. 10. 20.
Thoughts on the Lord's Supper; Designed for the help of Christians in this day of difficulty. C. H. Mackintosh. Preface. The institution of the Lord's Supper must be regarded, by every spiritual man, as a peculiarly touching proof of the Lord's gracious care and considerate love for His Church. From the time of its appointment until the present hour, it has been a steady, though silent, witness to a truth which the enemy, by.. 2009. 10. 20.
"God for us." C. H. Mackintosh. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom. 8: 31. How much is wrapped up in these few words, “God for us" They form one of those marvellous chains of three links so frequently found in scripture. We have “God" linked on to “us" by that precious little word "for." This secures everything, for time and eternity. There is not a sin.. 2009. 10. 20.
"Gilgal." Joshua 5. C. H. Mackintosh. "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." (Rom. 15: 4) These few words furnish a title, distinct and unquestionable, for the Christian to range through the wide and magnificent field of Old Testament scripture, and gather therein instruction and comfort, according .. 2009. 10. 20.
