Walking the Thin Line: Combating Legalism in the Church - Carey Hardy
Legalism is a system that judges an individual's relationship to God in terms of adherence to man-made rules. It is subtle and pervasive, and therefore deadly to the life of the church. - More

The Solution to a Troubled Heart - John MacArthur
We live with conflict, disappointment, and pain. We all experience hours of deep tragedy and times of severe trial, but He is with us. Whatever your trouble, whatever mess you are in, whatever anxiety or perplexity you have, just remember, the Lord Himself is there. - More

Making Decisions on Non-Moral Issues - John MacArthur
How do we deal with the issues of life that are not moral in and of themselves? Such issues as food, drink, recreation, television, movies, books, magazines, sports, Sunday activities, cards, games, smoking, hair styles, clothing styles, music styles, etc., etc. None of these, in themselves, are moral issues. How are we to deal with them? - More

Looking For A Church Home? - Donald S. Whitney
If you are looking for a church home, the answers you receive to questions like these may help you determine whether a particular church is the one where God wants you. - More

The Spirit of Charity is a Humble Spirit - Part II - Jonathan Edwards
Having thus shewn what humility is in its nature, and to what it will lead us both in spirit and behaviour, in respect both to God and to our fellow-men, I proceed, as proposed, to shew, that the spirit of charity is an humble spirit. And this I would do in two particulars... - More

The Spirit of Charity is a Humble Spirit - Part I - Jonathan Edwards
In the words of 1 Cor. 13:4-5, we may observe, that a spirit of Christian love is spoken of as the opposite of a proud behaviour, and that two degrees of such a behaviour are mentioned. The higher degree is expressed by a man's "vaunting himself," and the lower degree is expressed by his " behaving himself unseemly." - More

The Christians Surest Guide: Subjective Feelings or God's Word? - Charles Alligood
The Scriptures are clear -- all religious experiences are not works of the Holy Spirit. Some of these experiences are produced by unholy spirits. How then are we to distinguish between the two? Has God given us a sufficient and authoritative guide? - More

Christian Conduct - Exposition of Romans 12 - Martin Lloyd-Jones
We have seen that in the Christian life, everything must be considered in the light of our new position. I am so concerned about this because to me it is one of the most glorious aspects of the Christian faith and is certainly the key to successful Christian living. - More

The Glorious Adornment of Christians - Colossians 3:12-17 - Martin Luther
This text is a letter of admonition, teaching what manner of fruit properly results from faith. Paul deals kindly with the Colossians. He does not command, urge nor threaten, as teachers of the Law must do in the case of those under the Law. - More

Directions How to Conduct Yourself in Your Christian Course - Jonathan Edwards
As you desired me to send you, in writing, some directions how to conduct yourself in your Christian course, I would now answer your request. - More

Religious Conversation - Samuel Miller
To be able to introduce the great subject of religion, in an easy, seasonable, and acceptable manner, in the daily intercourse of society, is a most precious talent, the uses of which are more various, more rich, more numerous, and more important, than almost any that can be mentioned. - More

John Owen and the "normal" Christian Life: Or Sanctification in an Era of Confusion - John D. Hannah
The lament of recent writers over the deplorable state of theological consciousness in the churches is alarming. David Wells' judgment that evangelicalism is on the verge of "losing its character, if not its soul," has a ring of reality in it. - More

Joyous Spirituality of Christian Pilgrimage: Part III - Hugh Martin
It cannot, I trust, be warrantably inferred from anything that has now been said, that we could mean to represent the believer as a miserable recluse or a moping solitaire - as uncompanionable - not formed for or aiming at the duties and enjoyments of friendship. - More

Joyous Spirituality of Christian Pilgrimage: Part II - Hugh Martin
Let us glance at the principle and process as they were seen operating in Abraham, the father of the faithful. A more decided instance of the believer's relation towards the world, in this aspect of it, cannot be found than in Abraham. - More

Joyous Spirituality of Christian Pilgrimage: Part I - Hugh Martin
Genuine admiration of the cross of Christ - imbuing a man with the evangelical spirituality which is the want of the age, and which alone has been found powerful enough to alienate us from the world at every point - makes him, there can be no reason to doubt, what the psalmist calls himself, "a stranger on the earth." - More

The Bible Doctrine of the Separated Life: Part IV - Johannes G. Vos
Those who wish to add to what God has spoken in Scripture certain man-made regulations concerning things indifferent often take this position because they believe these rules necessary in order to prevent various evils. - More

The Bible Doctrine of the Separated Life: Part III - Johannes G. Vos
The principle of the sufficiency of Scripture as the standard of faith and conduct is involved in the problem of the separated life. Separation is sometimes demanded from things which Scripture does not declare or imply to be sinful. - More

The Bible Doctrine of the Separated Life: Part II - Johannes G. Vos
Scripture recognizes a classification of things or actions which are commonly called adiaphora, or "things indifferent." This term must not be misunderstood. - More

The Bible Doctrine of the Separated Life: Part I - Johannes G. Vos
The question of the separated life is a very important one, not only because it is a practical question which must be faced by every thoughtful Christian, but also because of the doctrinal ramifications that it has. - More

Human Nature in Its Fourfold State - Death (Part II) - Thomas Boston
Having thus discoursed of death, let us improve it in discerning the vanity of the world; in bearing up, with Christian contentment and patience under all troubles and difficulties in it; in mortifying our lusts; in cleaving unto the Lord with full purpose of heart, at all hazards, and in preparing for death's approach. - More

Human Nature in Its Fourfold State - Death (Part I) - Thomas Boston
I come now to discourse of man's eternal state, into which he enters by death. Of this entrance, Job takes a solemn serious view, in the words of Job 30:23, which contain a general truth, and a particular application of it. - More

The Christian & the World - I. C. Herendeen
The Christian is plagued by three great, powerful and subtle enemies-”the world, the flesh and the devil.” They are terrible foes which must be overcome if we are to be saved. - More

Practical Godliness - Arthur W. Pink
It is much, very much to be thankful for when the Holy Spirit has illumined a man’s understanding, dispersed the mists of error, and established him in the Truth. Yet that is only the beginning. - More

My Whole Life is a Continual Conversion - Alexander Whyte
My old and honored friend Dr. Elder Cumming of Glasgow, in his admirable appreciation of Fraser expresses his regret that Fraser so often uses the word "conversion" concerning his whole Christian life. But after giving the fullest consideration to what that deeply experienced and deservedly eminent evangelical preacher says concerning Fraser's frequent use of the word "conversion," I cannot share with him in that criticism and complaint of his. - More

Thoughts on The Assurance of Faith - Augustus Toplady
It has long been a settled point with me, that the Scriptures make a wide distinction between faith, the assurance of faith, and the full assurance of faith. - More

The Leading of the Spirit - Benjamine B. Warfield
THESE words constitute the classical passage in the New Testament on the great subject of the "leading of the Holy Spirit." They stand, indeed, almost without strict parallel in the New Testament. - More

Christian Effort - James Henley Thornwell
The life of the Christian is not a life of inactivity and ease. He becomes the servant of God by receiving the Lord Jesus Christ, and is sent into his Master's vineyard for the purpose of working for his Master's glory. - More

Holiness - Introduction - J. C. Ryle
THE twenty papers contained in this volume are a humble contribution to a cause which is exciting much interest in the present day, -I mean the cause of Scriptural holiness. - More

The Believer's Inability on Account of Remaining Sin - John Newton
I have been sitting perhaps a quarter of an hour with my pen in my hand, and my finger upon my upper lip, contriving how I should begin my letter.-A detail of the confused incoherent thoughts which have successively passed through my mind, would have more than filled the sheet... - More

The Christian's Warfare - Robert Murray M'Cheyne
A believer is to be known not only by his peace and joy, but by his warfare and distress. His peace is peculiar: it flows from Christ, it is heavenly, it is holy peace. His warfare is as peculiar: it is deep-seated, agonizing, and ceases not till death. - More

Holy Living - Charles Hodge
It is natural for those who have experienced the agitations which frequently attend upon conversion, and have felt the peace which flows from a hope of acceptance with God, to imagine that the conflict is over, the victory won, and the work of religion accomplished. - More

The Sphere and Object of the Christian Life - St. George's Fellowship
The life of a regenerated soul finds expression in a desire to love the Lord his God with all his heart, soul, strength and mind and his neighbour as him self. To fulfil this desire, to know the way in which he should humbly walk, the Christian searches the Scriptures and seeks to obey the commandments revealed in it.. - More

The Christian Race - J. C. Andrews
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Heb. 12:1-2 - More

The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Christian - R. A. Finlayson
Here we study the subjective work of the Holy Spirit that perfects and consummates His objective work. He works in us what was wrought by Christ for us, and in the case of the believer the operations of the Spirit are effectual. - More

Discussion On Apparelling - James Durham
In nothing do our lightness, vanity, (as we ordinarily use to call people vain from their apparel), pride, wantonness, and rioting appear more, than in vain clothing. - More

The Right, Lawful, and Holy Use of Apparel - William Perkins
In a day of such tremendous immodesty and temptation to moral impurity, William Perkins' "rules" for the holy use of apparel (clothing) written several hundred years ago is quite apt for our present day. - More

Helps Against Temptation - Thomas Brooks
Satan is a spirit of mighty abilities; and his abilities to lay snares before us are mightily increased by that long experience of his. He has had time enough to study all those ways and methods which tend most to ensnare an undo the souls of men. - More

Not by Bread Alone - R.A. Torrey
There is nothing more important for the development of a Christian’s spiritual life than regular, systematic Bible study. It is as true in the spiritual life as in the physical life, that health depends on what we eat and how much we eat. "Man shall not live by bread alone" (Matt. 4:4). - More

The Morning Hour - Andrew Murray
From the earliest ages, God’s servants have thought of the morning as the time especially suitable for worshiping Him. It is still regarded by Christians both as a duty and a privilege to devote some portion of the beginning of the day to seeking seclusion and fellowship with God. - More

The Daily Exercise of God's Most Holy & Sacred Word - John Knox
The following passage is excerpted from a letter written by John Knox in 1557 before leaving Scotland for exile in Geneva. Knox addressed the letter to "His Brethren in Scotland," that is, Christ's brethren, the Church. - More

What is a Biblical Christian? - Albert N. Martin
One must not make the assumption lightly that he or she is a true Christian. A false conclusion at this point is tragic and fatal. Therefore I want to set before you four strands of the Bible's answer to the question, "What is a biblical Christian?" - More

A Godly Man is a Lover of the Word - Thomas Watson
Chrysostom compares the Scripture to a garden set with ornaments and flowers. A godly man delights to walk in this garden and sweetly solace himself. He loves every branch and part of the Word. - More
