The Eye of Faith "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee" (Job 42:5). What did Job signify by this? Obviously his words are not to be understood literally. No, by employing a common figure of speech, he meant that the mists of unbelief (occasioned by self-righteousness) had now been dispelled, and faith perceived the being of God as a glorious and living reality. ("Mine eyes.. 2010. 9. 4.
THE EVERLASTING COVENANT The Word of God opens with a brief account of creation, the making of man, and his fall. From later Scripture we have no difficulty in ascertaining that the issue of the trial to which man was subjected in Eden had been divinely foreseen. “The Lamb slain (in the purpose of God) from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8) makes it clear that, in view of the Fall, provision had been made by.. 2010. 9. 4.
The Divine Rememberer "Who remembered us in our low estate: for His mercy endureth forever" (Psa. 136:23). "Who remembered us." This is in striking and blessed contrast from our forgettings of Him. Like every other faculty of our beings, the memory has been affected by the Fall and bears on it the marks of depravity. This is seen from its power to retain what is worthless and the difficulty encountered to hold fast .. 2010. 9. 4.
THE DAVIDIC COVENANT In this chapter we shall attempt little more than to point out the connecting links between the Sinaitic and the Davidic covenants. The various covenants recorded in the Old Testament, as we have previously stated, mark the principal stages in the development of God’s purpose of mercy toward our fallen race. Each one brought to light some further aspect of truth, and that, in keeping with par.. 2010. 9. 4.
The Cure for Despondency When the Psalmist gave utterance to these words, his spirit was dejected and his heart was heavy within him. In the checkered career of David there was not a little which was calculated to sadden and depress: the cruel persecutions of Saul, who hunted him as a partridge upon the mountains, the treachery of his trusted friend Ahithophel, the perfidy of Absalom, and the remembrance of his own sin.. 2010. 9. 4.
The Cross and Self Ere developing the theme of this verse let us comment on its terms. “If any”: the duty enjoined is for all who would join Christ’s followers and enlist under His banner. “If any will”: the Greek is very emphatic, signifying not only the consent of the will, but full purpose of heart, a determined resolution. “Come after Me”: as a servant subject to his Master, a scholar his Teache.. 2010. 9. 4.
The Covenant Allegory The last eleven verses of Galatians 4 are far from being free of difficulties appears from the diverse expositions of the commentators. Nor will the limited space now at our disposal allow us to enter into as full an elucidation as could be wished, nor permit the pausing now and again to furnish collateral proofs for what is advanced, as would be our desire. Brevity has its advantages, but it d.. 2010. 9. 4.
THE COVENANT ALLEGORY Those of our readers who are particularly interested in the divine covenants would be disappointed if we closed our lengthy comments thereon and ignored the last eleven verses of Galatians 4, and therefore we feel it necessary to devote a chapter to their consideration. That this passage is far from being free of difficulties appears from the diverse expositions of the commentators, for scarcel.. 2010. 9. 4.

SPURGEON, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington "I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth."—1 Kings 18:12. I SUSPECT that Elijah did not think very much of Obadiah.

십자가를 전파함 (고전1:23) "우리는 십자가에 못박힌 그리스도를 전하니-" (고전 1:23) 최근에 기독교 신앙의 핵심적인 진리에 관해서 저에게 질문이 주어진 일이 있습니다. 질문자는 제게 이렇게 물었습니다. "십자가가 사람을 구원하시는 하나님의 방법이라고 믿는 이유가 무엇입니까?" 이 가장 중요하고 사활이 걸린 문제를 묵.. 2010. 8. 24.
정반대의 두 차량번호판 미국에선 돈을 더 내면 차량번호판을 자기 마음에 드는 숫자나 글자로 만들 수 있습니다. 그래서 777 같이 단순히 좋아하는 숫자를 택하기도 하지만 주로 숫자, 문자, 부호를 조합하여 자기만의 특별한 의미를 드러내 보입니다. 공교롭게도 이틀 사이에 극명히 대조되는, 정확히 말해 정반대의 뜻을 지.. 2010. 8. 17.

(행1:9-11) 미완성인 채로 남을 기독교 신앙 “이 말씀을 마치시고 저희 보는 데서 올리워가시니 구름이 저를 가리워 보이지 않게 하더라. 올라가실 때에 제자들이 자세히 하늘을 쳐다보고 있는데 흰옷 입은 두 사람이 저희 곁에 서서 가로되 갈릴리 사람들아 어찌하여 서서 하늘을 쳐다보느냐. 너희 가운데서 하늘로 올리우신 이 예수는 하늘로 .. 2010. 8. 13.
