A Prophecy of Christ’s Suffering
A new year began, and how quickly time goes by. January is past, and, the Lord willing, on February 26 we will begin the seven Sundays before Easter in which we consider the sufferings of the Lord Jesus Christ. The first Adam broke the covenant of works, but immediately it pleased the Lord to rev ...
Canons of Dordt (40)
It is a wonder of God’s mercy that sinners and rebels are called to return unto Him. Fallen man is sincerely called to turn to his Maker. No one would ever do this, however, if left to his own will. Conversion is God’s work. He enlightens the understanding, renews the will, so that the fruits of ...
The Life of Ruth (12)
It was mealtime on the field. Boaz had prepared the meal by placing the bread and vinegar on the table for those who would partake of the food. As Ruth was working in the field, she saw something she had never seen before. She saw the reapers lay down their sickles and the binders bind their last ...
These Humbling Lessons (A letter to a friend)
I have been greatly comforted and encouraged by your letter, and do sincerely sympathize with you in all your tribulations, knowing that without them you cannot be a pastor after God’s own heart. How sad a thing it is to have a religion that knows nothing of communion with the Lord! How dead and ...

Living in the Fear of the Lord
It is clear in the text that the poet desires to live in the fear of the Lord. To that end he wants to be delivered from the oppression of man. It is not always the same as to how we are oppressed and by whom we are oppressed. There is a common oppression which exists in the entire human race all ...
The Choice of Lot
It is probable that Abraham and Lot were standing on the high ground near Hebron. It commands a great view, both east and west. When you look to the west, the eye stretches over a large wilderness of vast extent, to where the sun sets in all its glory, in the Mediterranean. When you look to the e ...
Crawling Many Years
When he was already over seventy- six years old and burdened by many ailments, Rev. J. Berridge still planned to travel to London, in the midst of winter, so he could fulfill his annual custom to preach there. For many years it was his custom to leave shortly after Christmas ...
Het niet beschermde ongeloof
Wanneer wij het antwoord van de Heere Jezus, gegeven aan de overpriesters en ouderlingen, die met een vraag naar de bevoegdheid van Jezus tot Hem gekomen waren, zo op het eerste gezicht bezien, dan komt dit antwoord ons vreemd voor. Waarom geeft de Heere aan hen niet een duidelijk antwoord op hun ...
The Swiss Farmer and the Lord’s Day
In a fertile valley of Switzerland lived a young farmer. It was harvest time, and the golden grain swayed in the fields. On a Sunday afternoon, dark clouds gathered in the distance, a sure sign of rain. Not wanting to lose any of his crop, the young man called his helpers together, saying, “I wan ...
