A Commentary on the Book of Revelation Or,
A Disclosure From Jesus Christ About What Must Shortly Come To Pass -- CHAPTERS 1-19 ONLY (in
progress) by Tom Stewart Download
- A sample quote: "3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they
that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand." A special Promise attends
our reading, hearing, and keeping of the Revelation, i.e., acting in faith about
what we heard. "But whoso looketh into the Perfect Law
of Liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of
the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed" (James 1:25). No man
is a fool who acts as though the message of the Revelation concerns us here and now,
"for the time is at hand."
--fron Chapter 1, verse 3.

A Plain Account of Christian Perfection by John Wesley Download
- "What I purpose in the following papers is, to give a plain and distinct
account of the steps by which I was led, during a course of many years, to embrace
the doctrine of Christian perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind,
those who desire to know all "the truth as it is in Jesus." And these only
are concerned in questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing
as it is, endeavouring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I
thought, and why I thought so."
A sample quote: "Here is the sum of
the perfect law, the circumcision of the heart. Let the spirit return to God that
gave it, with the whole train of its affections. -- Other sacrifices from us he would
not, but the living sacrifice of the heart hath he chosen. Let it be continually
offered up to God through Christ, in flames of holy love. And let no creature be
suffered to share with him; for he is a jealous God. His throne will he not divide
with another; he will reign without a rival. Be no design, no desire admitted there,
but what has Him for its ultimate object. This is the way wherein those children
of God once walked, who being dead still speak to us: 'Desire not to live but to
praise his name; let all your thoughts, words, and works tend to his glory.' 'Let
your soul be filled with so entire a love to Him that you may love nothing but for
his sake.' 'Have a pure intention of heart, a steadfast regard to his glory in all
you actions.' For then, and not till then, is that 'mind in us, which was also in
Christ Jesus,' when in every motion of our heart, in every word of our tongue, in
every work of our hands, we 'pursue nothing but in relation to him, and in subordination
to his plea sure;' when we too neither think, nor speak, nor act, to fulfil 'our
own will, but the will of Him that sent us;' when, 'whether we eat or drink, or whatever
we do,' we do it all 'to the glory of God.'"

All of Grace, An Earnest Word with Those
Who Are Seeking Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ.
by C. H. Spurgeon Download
- "Where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20). A sample quote: "I HEARD A STORY; I think it came from the North Country: A
minister called upon a poor woman, intending to give her help; for he knew that she
was very poor. With his money in his hand, he knocked at the door; but she did not
answer. He concluded she was not at home, and went his way. A little after he met
her at the church, and told her that he had remembered her need: 'I called at your
house, and knocked several times, and I suppose you were not at home, for I had no
answer.' 'At what hour did you call, sir?' 'It was about noon.' 'Oh, dear,' she said,
'I heard you, sir, and I am so sorry I did not answer; but I thought it was the man
calling for the rent.' Many a poor woman knows what this meant. Now, it is my desire
to be heard, and therefore I want to say that I am not calling for the rent; indeed,
it is not the object of this book to ask anything of you, but to tell you that salvation
is all of grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing. Oftentimes, when we are
anxious to win attention, our hearer thinks, 'Ah! now I am going to be told my duty.
It is the man calling for that which is due to God, and I am sure I have nothing
wherewith to pay. I will not be at home.' No, this book does not come to make a demand
upon you, but to bring you something. We are not going to talk about law, and duty,
and punishment, but about love, and goodness, and forgiveness, and mercy, and eternal
life. Do not, therefore, act as if you were not at home: do not turn a deaf ear,
or a careless heart. I am asking nothing of you in the name of God or man. It is
not my intent to make any requirement at your hands; but I come in God's name, to
bring you a free gift, which it shall be to your present and eternal joy to receive.
Open the door, and let my pleadings enter. 'Come now, and let us reason together.'
The Lord himself invites you to a conference concerning your immediate and endless
happiness, and He would not have done this if He did not mean well toward you. Do
not refuse the Lord Jesus who knocks at your door; for He knocks with a hand which
was nailed to the tree for such as you are. Since His only and sole object is your
good, incline your ear and come to Him. Hearken diligently, and let the good word
sink into your soul. It may be that the hour is come in which you shall enter upon
that new life which is the beginning of heaven. Faith cometh by hearing, and reading
is a sort of hearing: faith may come to you while you are reading this book. Why
not? O blessed Spirit of all grace, make it so!"

An Autobiography by Charles G. Finney (1792-1875)
Download
- "THE author of the following narrative sufficiently
explains its origin and purpose, in the introductory pages. He left the manuscript
at the disposal of his family, having never decided, in his own mind, that it was
desirable to publish it. Many of his friends, becoming aware of its existence, have
urged its publication; and his children, yielding to the general demand, have presented
the manuscript to Oberlin College for this purpose. In giving it to the public, it
is manifestly necessary to present it essentially as we find it. No liberties can
be taken with it, to modify views or statements which may sometimes seem extreme
or partial, or even to subdue a style, which, though rugged at times, is always dramatic
and forcible. Few men have better earned the right to utter their own thoughts, in
their own words. These thoughts and words are what the many friends of Mr. Finney
will desire. The only changes that seemed allowable, were occasional omissions, to
avoid unnecessary repetition, or too minute detail, or, at times, references that
might seem too distinctly personal. The narrative is, in its very nature, personal,
involving the experiences both of the author and of those with whom he had to do;
and to these personal experiences it, in great part, owes its interest and its value.
As the narrative presents the memories and heart-yearnings of a veteran pastor, with
a passion for winning souls, it is hoped and believed that, in its personal references,
it will not be regarded as having transcended the limits of Christian propriety.
For the most part, the lapse of time sets aside all question." --J. H. F. OBERLIN COLLEGE, January, 1876.
A sample quote: "I hesitate to write
a narrative of those revivals, because I have often been surprised to find how much
my own remembrance of facts differs from the recollection of other persons who were
in the midst of those scenes. Of course I must state the facts as I remember them.
A great many of those events have been often referred to by myself in preaching,
as illustrative of the truths that I was presenting to the people. I have been so
often reminded of them, and have so often referred to them in all the years of my
ministry, that I cannot but have strong confidence that I remember them substantially
as they occurred. If I shall in any case misstate the facts, or if in any case my
recollections shall differ widely from those of others, I trust that the church will
believe that my statements are in entire accordance with my present remembrance of
those facts. I am now (1867-68) seventy-five years old. Of course, I remember things
that transpired many years ago more definitely than those of recent occurrence. In
regard to the doctrines preached, so far as I was concerned, and the means used to
promote the revivals, I think I cannot be mistaken. To give any intelligible account
of the part which I was called to act in those scenes, it is necessary that I should
give a little history of the manner in which I came to adopt the doctrinal views
which I have long held and preached, and which have been regarded by many persons
as objectionable. I must commence by giving a very brief account of my birth, and
early circumstances and education, my conversion to Christ, my study of theology,
and my entering upon the work of the ministry. I am not about to write an autobiography,
let it be remembered; and shall enter no farther into a relation of the events of
my own private life than shall seem necessary to give an intelligible account of
the manner in which I was led, in relation to these great movements of the church."

An Urgent Call to Christian Perfection: An
Exposition of the Doctrine of Christian Perfection
by Tom Stewart Download
- Christ insists upon our perfection here and now. After all, the only reason
why we ought to insist upon any doctrine is because our LORD and Teacher insists
upon it. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father
which is in Heaven is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). I am well aware that
our beloved brother Paul plainly warns us as he did Timothy: "If
any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our
LORD Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud,
knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh
envy, strife, railings, evil surmising, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds,
and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness; from such withdraw
thyself" (1Timothy
6:3-5). I, too, desire to consent to wholesome words
and to the doctrine which is according to godliness. For this reason, I am writing
to you to set forth the doctrine of Christian perfection (or, entire sanctification).
Simply put, Christian perfection is to appropriate Christ by faith in all of His
offices, capacities, and relations to meet our every need in life... "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith"
(Hebrews 12:20, Who "shall supply all [our] need according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians
4:19), Who is our "Jehovah Jireh" (Genesis 22:14) (literally,
the LORD will provide).

Babylon The Great: Or, The Coming Destruction
of the One World Religion by Tom Stewart Download
- "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (Revelation 17:5).
A sample quote: "We
have only focused on the most pervasive and conspicuous manifestation of the Great
Whore in this present Church Age-- the institution of Roman Catholicism. "And here is the mind which hath
wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth" (Revelation 17:9). Rather
than viewing Catholicism as merely one of many manifestations of the LORD Jesus Christ's
Church, the Church of Rome's history demonstrates it to be entirely transformed from
the Primitive Church of the Apostles into the abominable Babylon the Great... As
we approach the Tribulation Week, the pace is quickening as
"evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and being deceived" (2Timothy 3:13). We need to remember
that the Church of Rome has been "Satan's seat" (Revelation 2:13) for more than a millennium... "when
the obstacles to perfect ecclesiastical communion have been gradually overcome, all
Christians will at last, in a common celebration of the Eucharist, be gathered into
the one and only Church" (from the Second Vatican
Council, "Decree on Ecumenism- Unitatis Redintegratio", paragraph 4)...
Rome's "patience" in achieving the universal domination that describes
her name, i.e., catholic, ought to be observed by even the Godly... Pope John Paul
II tenaciously stated his commitment to the global union awaiting the Church at the
New Millennium, "I myself intend to promote every
suitable initiative aimed at making the witness of the entire Catholic community
understood in its full purity and consistency, especially considering the engagement
which awaits the Church at the threshold of the new Millennium
[WStS emphasis added]... Does the Roman Catholic
Church-- Babylon the Great-- endorse or promote the United Religions Initiative (URI)?
If "in her [Babylon the Great] was
found the blood of prophets, and of Saints, and of all that were slain upon
the Earth" (Revelation
18:24), then the UR must eventually become attached
to the Pope and the Church of Rome for the UR to be identified as Babylon the Great...
This writer is persuaded that Babylon the Great, which is essentially Roman Catholicism,
must soon incorporate with the United Religions, if the Pope still desires the
headship of the world's religions, i.e., to be the False Prophet... Accordingly,
the Papal celebration of the "Jubilee of the Year 2000" includes: (1) "An Interreligious
Encounter": "As one millennium draws to a
close and the next looms near, it has been thought appropriate to invite a certain
number of people belonging to different religious traditions to come together for
a few days reflection. This interreligious encounter, which is being organized by
the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, will take place in Rome 24-29
October 1999" (from the Vatican website), and (2)
a "Day of Reflection on lnterreligious Dialogue": "An
invitation to prayer and reflection addressed particularly to Catholics... fixed
for Pentecost Sunday in the year 2000... Pentecost is a sign that Babel can be overcome,
that harmony can be achieved, and this finally is the goal of interreligious dialogue" (from the Vatican website)... "Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Revelation 18:4). This most
important message of God to those who would be preserved from Divine Destruction
is to COME OUT OF BABYLON NOW."

abominable and destructive nature of idolatry and false worship; the divine scheme
of redemption; the immortality of the soul; the doctrine of the invisible and spiritual
world; a future judgment; and the final retribution of the wicked in the pains of
eternal perdition, and of the good in the blessedness of an endless glory... a condensed

Comments on the Song of Solomon by Judith
Bronte Download
- A sample quote: "'The Song of Solomon'
has been one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible. However, this has not
always been the case. In the days of the Reformation, and in times when persecution
of Jesus Christ's Church was the greatest, His Bride tenaciously clung to the love
song He had given her. It was one of the most memorized books of the Bible. But with
the passing of time, to our great shame, we have forgotten the meaning of this most
precious book... In the short eight chapters of 'The Song of Solomon', we find the
close and intimate communion of the Royal Bridegroom, King Solomon, and his bride.
The example of their complete unity and oneness of love is the same experience we
should have with our Royal Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. It is my fervent desire that
we now remember the love promise that Jesus has bestowed on us, and cling to Him
as the Church did so long ago."

Divine Healing: A Series of Addresses and a Personal Testimony by
Andrew Murray Download
- A sample quote: "Oh, that we could
learn to believe in the promises of God! God has not gone back from His promises;
Jesus is still He who heals both soul and body; salvation offers us even now healing
and holiness, and the Holy Spirit is always ready to give us some manifestations
of His power. Even when we ask why this divine power is not more often seen, He answers
us: 'Because of your unbelief.' The more we give ourselves to experience personally
sanctification by faith, the more we shall also experience healing by faith. These
two doctrines walk abreast. The more the Spirit of God lives and acts in the soul
of believers, the more will the miracles multiply by which He works in the body...
On the morrow Peter repeated these words before the Sanhedrin, 'By
the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth... doth this man stand here before you whole;'
and then he added, 'There is none other name under heaven...
whereby we must be saved.' This statement of Peter's declares to us that the
name of Jesus both heals and saves. We have here a teaching of the highest import
for divine healing... I know there are a great many difficulties about this question
of holiness; I know that all do not think exactly the same with regard to it. But
that would be to me a matter of comparative indifference if I could see that all
are honestly longing to be free from every sin. But I am afraid that unconsciously
there are in hearts often compromises with the idea: 'We cannot be without sin; we
must sin a little every day; we cannot help it.' Oh, that people would actually cry
to God: 'Lord, do keep me from sin!' Give yourself utterly to Jesus, and ask Him
to do His very utmost for you in keeping you from sin." --from "Divine Healing" by Andrew Murray

Faith's Checkbook: A Daily Devotional by C. H. Spurgeon Download
- A sample quote: "A
PROMISE from God may very instructively be compared to a check payable to order.
It is given to the believer with the view of bestowing upon him some good thing.
It is not meant that he should read it over comfortably, and then have done with
it. No, he is to treat the promise as a reality, as a man treats a check.
He is to take the promise, and endorse it with his own name by personally receiving
it as true. He is by faith to accept it as his own. He sets to his seal that God
is true, and true as to this particular word of promise. He goes further, and believes
that he has the blessing in having the sure promise of it and therefore he puts his
name to it to testify to the receipt of the blessing. This done, he must believingly
present the promise to the Lord, as a man presents a check at the counter of the
Bank. He must plead it by prayer, expecting to have it fulfilled. If he has come
to Heaven's bank at the right date, he will receive the promised amount at once.
If the date should happen to be further on, he must patiently wait till its arrival;
but meanwhile he may count the promise as money, for the Bank is sure to pay when
the due time arrives. Some fail to place the endorsement of faith upon the check,
and so they get nothing; and others are slack in presenting it, and these also receive
nothing. This is not the fault of the promise, but of those who do not act with it
in a commonsense, businesslike manner. God has given no pledge which He will not
redeem, and encouraged no hope which He will not fulfill. To help my brethren
to believe this, I have prepared this little volume. The sight of the promises themselves
is good for the eyes of faith: the more we study the words of grace, the more grace
shall we derive from the words. To the cheering Scriptures I have added testimonies
of my own, the fruit of trial and experience. I believe all the promises of God,
but many of them I have personally tried and proved. I have seen that they are true,
for they have been fulfilled to me. This, I trust, may be cheering to the young;
and not without solace to the older sort. One man's experience may be of the utmost
use to another; and this is why the man of God of old wrote, 'I sought the Lord,
and he heard me'; and again, 'This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.'"

Fifty Years in the Church of Rome by Charles Chiniquy Download
- "Rome is the great danger ahead for the Church of Christ, and you do not
understand it enough." A faithful account by a former Roman Catholic priest
of his life in the darkness of Romanism. A sample quote:
"God knows that I am a faithful witness of what my eyes have seen and my ears
have heard, when I say to the multitudes which the Church of Rome has bewitched with
her enchantments: Wherever there are nuns, monks and priests who live in forced violation
of the ways which God had appointed for man to walk in, there are torrents of tears,
there are desolated hearts, there are cries of anguish and despair which say in the
words of brother Mark: 'Oh! que je suis malheureux!' Oh! how miserable and wretched
I am! ...modern Protestants have not only forgotten what Rome was, what she is, and
what she will for ever be; the most irreconcilable and powerful enemy of the Gospel
of Christ; but they consider her almost as a branch of the church whose corner stone
is Christ... TO THE BISHOPS, PRIESTS, AND PEOPLE OF ROME this book is also dedicated.
In the name of your immortal souls, I ask you, Roman Catholics, to read this book.
By the mercy of God, you will fine, in its pages, how you are cruelly deceived by
your vain and lying traditions. You will see that is not through your ceremonies,
masses, confessions, purgatory, indulgences, fastings, ect., you are saved. You have
nothing to do but to believe, repent, and love. Salvation is a gift! Eternal life
is a gift! Forgiveness of sin is a gift! Christ is a gift!" Read in Chiniquy's
substantial work, his firsthand insights into the workings of the Church of Rome,
and see if indeed the "leopard [has changed] his spots" (Jeremiah 13:23).
