Bishop John Hooper’s Letter of January 21, 1555 A letter which Master Hooper did write out of prison to certain of his friends, three weeks before his cruel burning at Gloucester. The grace of God be with you. Amen. I did write unto you of late, and told you what extremity the Parliament had concluded upon concerning religion, suppressing the truth, and setting forth the untruth, intending to cause all men by extremity to forswear themselves.. 2011. 6. 30.
Bible-Reading "Study the Scriptures" (John 5:39). "How do you read it?" (Luke 10:26). Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading. God has mercifully given us a book which is "able to make [us] wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15). By reading that book we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and.. 2011. 6. 30.
Authentic Religion "Rejected silver" (Jeremiah 6:30) "Nothing but leaves" (Mark 11:13) "Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth" (1 John 3:18). "You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead" (Revelation 3:1) If we profess to have any religion at all, let us be careful that it is authentic. I say it emphatically, and I repeat the saying: Let us be careful that our religion is a.. 2011. 6. 30.
Assurance (2) "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing" (2 Tim. 4:6–8). Here we see the apostle Paul looking .. 2011. 6. 30.
Assurance (1) “I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.” (2 TIM. 4:6-8) In the words of Scripture, which h.. 2011. 6. 30.
Christian Perfection “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect.” Phil. 3:12. 1. There is scarce any expression in Holy Writ which has given more offence than this. The word perfect is what many cannot bear. The very sound of it is an abomination to them. And whosoever preaches perfection (as the phrase is,) that is, asserts that it is attainable in this life, runs great hazard of being .. 2011. 6. 28.
Causes of the Inefficiency of Christianity "~Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daugh~ter of my people recovered?" Jer. 8:22~~. 1. This question, as here proposed by the Prophet, relates only to a particular people, -- the children of Israel. But I would here consider it in a general sense, with relation to all m~ankind. I would seriously inquire, Why has Christianity done so littl.. 2011. 6. 28.
Catholic Spirit “And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered: It is. If it be, give me thine hand.” 2 Kings 10:15. 1. It is allowed even by those who do not pay this great debt, that love is due to all mankind, the royal law, “Thou shalt love .. 2011. 6. 28.
Case of Reason Impartially Considered "Brethren, be not children in understanding: Howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men." 1 Cor. 14:20. 1. It is the true remark of an eminent man, who had made many observations on human nature, "If reason be against a man, a man will always be against reason." This has been confirmed by the experience of all ages. Very many have been the instances of it in the Christian as .. 2011. 6. 28.
Awake, Thou That Sleepest Preached on Sunday April 4, 1742, before the University of Oxford, by the Rev. Charles Wesley, M.A. Student of Christ-Church. "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." Eph. 5:14. In discoursing on these words, I shall, with the help of God, -- First. Describe the sleepers, to whom they are spoken: Secondly. Enforce the exhortation, "Awake, thou that.. 2011. 6. 28.
An Israelite Indeed "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile." John 1:47. 1. Some years ago a very ingenious man, Professor Hutcheson of Glasgow, published two treatises, The Original of our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue. In the latter of these he maintains that the very essence of virtue is, the love of our fellow-creatures. He endeavours to prove, that virtue and benevolence are one and the same thing; that.. 2011. 6. 28.
A Caution against Bigotry "And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy name: and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not." Mark 9:38, 39. 1. In the preceding verses we read, that after the Twelve had been disputing "which of them should be the greatest," Jesus took a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and taking him .. 2011. 6. 28.
예수 그리스도의 능력(행9:32-35) "때에 베드로가 사방으로 두루 행하다가 룻다에 사는 성도들에게도 내려갔더니 거기서 애니아라 하는 사람을 만나매 그가 중풍병으로 상위에 누운지 팔 년이라 베드로가 가로되 애니아야 예수 그리스도께서 너를 낫게 하시니 일어나 네 자리를 정돈하라 한대 곧 일어나니 룻다와 사론에 사는 사람들.. 2011. 6. 28.
Are You Ready? I ASK you a plain question at the beginning of a new year: Are you ready? It is a solemn thing to part company with the old year. It is a still more solemn thing to begin a new one. It is like entering a dark passage: we know not what we may meet before the end. All before us is uncertain: we know not what a day may bring forth, much less what may happen in a year. Reader, are you ready? Are yo.. 2011. 6. 28.
Are you looking? The question which heads this page may seem an odd one at first sight. To whom or to what does it apply? The words of St. Paul, below it, supply the key to its meaning. It is an inquiry concerning your soul and the Lord Jesus Christ. It means neither more nor less than this,---"Are you looking unto Jesus?" "Looking unto Jesus" is a very simple expression: it is soon spoken and soon written; it .. 2011. 6. 28.
Are You Fighting? “Fight the good fight of faith”—1 Timothy 6:12 It is a curious fact that there is no subject about which most people feel such deep interest as “fighting.” Young men and maidens, old men and little children, high and low, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, all feel a deep interest in wars, battles, and fighting. This is a simple fact, whatever way we may try to explain it. We shoul.. 2011. 6. 28.

1890. Our Lord's Prayer for His People's Sanctification A Sermon (No. 1890) Delivered on Lord's-day Morning, March 7th, 1886, by C. H. SPURGEON, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."—John 17:17. OUR LORD JESUS prayed much for his people while he was here on earth. He made Peter the special subject of his intercession when he knew that he was in extraordinary danger. The midnight wrestlings o.. 2011. 6. 4.
중생(요1:13) - 존 번연의 마지막 설교 존 번연의 마지막 설교 (1688년 7월 런던에서 설교한 것임) "이는 혈통으로나 육정으로나 사람의 뜻으로 나지 아니하고 오직 하나님께로서 난 자들이니라." (요 1:13) 이 말씀은 그 말씀 앞에 나오는 말에 의존하고 있습니다. 그러므로 나는 이 말씀을 올바로 이해할 수 있도록 여러분들을 인도하고자 합니.. 2011. 5. 25.
The Parable of the Dragnet The Prophetic Parables of Matthew 13 Chapter 7: THE PARABLE OF THE DRAGNET. "Again the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind" (Matthew 13:47-50) We have previously pointed out that it is of first importance to carefully note the manner and method in which these seven parables are arranged, for their order supplies a key to their interpretat.. 2011. 5. 25.
The Ordained Lamp The first part of this Psalm records a series of prayer-petitions; from verse 11 to the close are a number of great and precious promises relating to David and his family in the type, but mainly and ultimately to Christ and His New Testament church in the antitype. Let the reader constantly bear in mind this important principle and fact, namely, that everything in the Old Testament Scriptures t.. 2011. 5. 25.
교회의 주요 기능 "우리의 일은 현재의 교회나 또는 미래의 교회를 일으키려는 것이 아니라, 하나님께서 만드신 교회를 고수하는 것이다."(윌리암 켈리) 사도 바울은 골로새 교회의 질서와 그리스도를 믿는 믿음의 확고함에 대하여 칭찬했다(골 2:5). 디모데에게 준 그의 가르침은 "하나님의 집에서 어떻게 행하여야" 하.. 2011. 4. 3.
Can Two Walk Together Except They Be Agreed? Amos iii. 3. "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" In the holy Scriptures, we often find a negative thrown into the form of an interrogation. The text is an instance of this kind; so that we are to understand the prophet as affirming that two cannot walk together except they be agreed. For two to be agreed, implies something more than to be agreed in theory, or in understanding; for we.. 2011. 3. 21.
Breaking Up the Fallow Ground Break up your follow ground for it is time to seek the Lord till He come and rain righteousness upon you. Hos. 10:12. The Jews were a nation of farmers, and it is therefore a common thing in the scriptures to refer for Illustrations to their occupation, and to the scenes with which farmers and shepherds are familiar. The prophet Hosea addresses them as a nation of backsliders; he reproves them .. 2011. 3. 21.
Ability And Inability 'And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord: for He is a holy God.['] [Joshua 24:19] In this discussion, I shall I. POINT OUT THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ABILITY AND INABILITY TO OBEY THE LAW OF GOD, WHICH HAVE BEEN INSISTED ON BY DIFFERENT CLASSES OF PHILOSOPHERS AND DIVINES. II. SHOW THAT THIS DISTINCTION IS NONSENSICAL. III. WHAT IS INTENDED BY THE LANGUAGE .. 2011. 3. 21.
하나님이 기뻐하시는 기도 오늘날 이곳 저곳에서 기도 집회가 성행한다. 기도의 막대한 필요성을 봐서 이것은 실로 당연한 일이다. 그러나 나의 관찰이 틀림이 없다면 이러한 많은 노력이 헛되이 소모되며, 아무런 성과도 낳지를 못하고 있다는 사실이다. 이유는 그들의 동기가 건전치 못한데 있다. 너무도 많은 사람이 기도를 한낱 자기들의 불순한 목적을 달성하는 수단으로 사용하려 한다. 즉, 기도를 자기 발전을 위한 어떤 기술, 또는 지상적인 성공을 얻기 위한 방법으로 알고 있는 것이다. 따라서 그들은 가지 각색의 개인 중심의 종교적 계획을 가지고 기도의 제목으로 삼고 있다. 이런 계획 중에는 비성경적인 것 내지 성경에 없는 것들이 많이 끼어 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 그들은 여러 사람들에게 서신을 띄워 하나님의 뜻에 가당치도 않는 자기들 계.. 2011. 3. 21.
그리스도의 죽음과 표적(마27:45-56) 라일(J. C. Ryle) 본문은 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 수난의 결말에 대한 이야기이다. 6시간 동안의 지극한 고통이 지난 후 주님은 죽음에 순종하여 "영혼이 떠나시게"되었다. 이 이야기에서는 세 가지 요점에 특히 주의를 두게 된다. 이것들에 우리의 주의를 집중시키도록 하자. 첫째로 우리는 예수님께서 돌아가시기 직전에 하신 "나의 하나님, 나의 하나님 어찌하여 나를 버리셨나이까?"라는 유명한 말씀을 살펴보도록 하자. 이 말씀 속에는 어떤 인간도 헤아릴 수 없는 깊은 신비가 담겨 있다. 틀림없이 그 말씀은 주님이 단순한 육체적 고통 때문에 말씀하신 것은 아니다. 그런 설명은 전혀 만족스럽지 못하며 우리의 거룩한 주님께도 불명예스런 것이다. 그보다 그 말씀은 세상 죄가 주는 거대한 짐이 주님의 영혼에 미치.. 2011. 3. 19.

하나님의 지혜 (야고보서 1:5-8) "너희 중에 누구든지 지혜가 부족하거든 모든 사람에게 후히 주시고 꾸짖지 아니하시는 하나님께 구하라. 그리하면 주시리라. 오직 믿음으로 구하고 조금도 의심치 말라. 의심하는 자는 마치 바람에 밀려 요동하는 바다 물결 같으니 이런 사람은 무엇이든지 주께 얻기를 생각하지 말라. 두 마음을 품.. 2010. 11. 25.
