"...Satan’s power is so limited, that he shall not do what he can: God lets out so much of his wrath as shall praise him, and be as a stream to set his purpose of love to his saints at work, a...

Years ago I was very bitterly angry over a prominent politician who seemed invincible, who could get away with literally anything, and could do it with a sneer and a wink and a swagger. A pastor...

I just saw, and loved, THROUGH THE EYES OF SPURGEON . Great film, joy to watch. I recommend it heartily. I would pick a nit, here. The film suggests that "Bishop Vinter" lied to Spurgeon and h...

I am reading through CRAIG BLOMBERG'S commentary on Matthew, with varying degrees of enjoyment and profit. Commenting on Matthew 24:40-41, he said this: > Some have seen a “secret rap...

I am reading through Gurnall , and was struck by this passage: > The dear love he beareth to his saints engageth his power. He that > hath God’s heart cannot want his arm.�...
