Britain’s “Act of Toleration,” enacted in 1689, ended a period of severe persecution against the Baptists in that country, but it did not provide all that Christ’s churches taught or deserved. While it was no longer compulsory to attend the services of the Church of...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 30:11-17

I like certain kinds of old things. I don’t understand antique furniture enough to enjoy them or to have them. A piece of antique china may appeal to my eye once in a while, but I usually feel no need to buy it. A well-cared for 150 year old postage stamp is a...

But Satan Hindered Us – I Thessalonians 2:13-20

Jan 16, 2020 | Wednesday

I have just finished a good size book written by C.H. Spurgeon, a third of which are prayers to God. I don’t know if these were written for the book; if they were private prayers; or if they were public prayers which had been recorded by stenographers. I have had...

Expectations – Romans 8:16-23

Jan 13, 2020 | Sunday Evening

I’d like to talk to you tonight about “Expectations.” I almost preached this message last Sunday evening, but the Lord led me instead to “Patient Urgency.” And then this week this almost devolved into merely the introduction to a different message. If I go ahead with...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 30-1-6

Jan 9, 2020 | Wednesday
