To Be A True Christian Will Cost You
It costs something to be a true Christian. Let that never be forgotten. To be a mere nominal Christian, and go to church, is cheap and easy work. But to hear Christ’s voice, follow Christ, believe in Christ, and confess Christ, requires much self-denial. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousness, our ease, and [...]
The Chief Business of the Church
Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel. The words of Paul ought to be constantly remembered – “Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel” (1 Cor. 1:17). When the Gospel of Christ is [...]

Never Beyond The Reach of Christ’s Care
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them.

We are never beyond the reach of [...]
